Best insulin syringes (brand comparison)

I've been using BD 0.5cc 29g 1/2" for ~2 years. No complaints. But I'm hearing good things about EasyTouch and also seeing people on here use Nipro. Before I buy a box of 100 of something new, what's the actual honest take?

EasyTouch are fine for the price โ maybe 80% of a BD. Plunger occasionally sticks. Good backup when BD is backordered.

BD Ultra-Fine is the gold standard for a reason. Sharp, smooth plunger, consistent gauge. Pay the extra for them.

Nipro โ I like them. Slightly longer needle on some sizes. Go-to for IM.

From a pharmacy perspective: BD, EasyTouch, Nipro are the three that consistently pass QC. Anything else is a coin flip. Gauge accuracy matters.

Great, sticking with BD and maybe picking up EasyTouch as backup. Thanks all.
