Hi-Point. Makers of dirt cheap pew-pews for low prices.They're the ghetto stepchild of their world. No one with any kind of standards buys one unless it's part of a joke. Or lost a bet.
this failed me as a flare nut picnic tap, don't do it....

do they make a stout picnic tap?for like if you buy a keg of guiness for a party or something?
You can pour a guinness with a plastic picnic tap.
The video is awful but believe me, it was a pretty decent cascade effect.
No nitro, only CO2.

Awful lot of hate in this thread. I have been running picnic taps for about 7 years now. I have a 10 tap keezer, some of the taps are soda at 25 psi. I have not had all these problems other people seem to have, not even when my kids pull themselves a glass of soda do they have problems. And since I keep the taps in the cooler, I don't get the stale beer smell or fruit flies in my basement.
Maybe the problem is many people do not understand how to properly use them, or lack the physical dexterity. Perhaps @bracconiere could make an instructional video to help those less fortunate so that they too can reap the benefits of these affordable, easy-to-clean little miracles.

I take it all back. Long live the humble and noble picnic tap.

Where's the crack? Or is that a stock picture?
I suspect the problem is the very short distance (1/8", if that much) between the 2 barbs with the piece of vinyl hose connecting them.
It's the only flexible hinge in the assembly, and may be stressed.
Must have made a real mess... or even worse you lost precious beer!
So, why not just replace that short piece of vinyl hose every 3-6 months, before it cracks again? Problem solved.

no mess, other then @BrewerBrad82 's observation...but i felt it dripping on my finger while i was holding it...the crack in the vinyl is on the bottom....i quickly swapped my tap to the left one......
i'm hoping this is availible by then....
