New Fumoto valve design

Fumoto made an announcement recently on their facebook page. The new Fumoto SX allows you to position the valve where you need it.

Looks great. Anybody thinking of getting one and doing a review?

it looks like it just adds a potential point for failure. I have the shorty and it works fine.

I agree..I think they redesigned for cars that need adapters.

I use the shorty one as well on my car, no complaints. Luckily, when tightened, mine points a good direction? I guess you could say.

Thats what she said...

Although, if I didn't have one of these already, I'd pick up the new design.
