    I use a 1 1/2" 22G to draw and pin. Same needle. Using it to draw with kind of dulls it a little but you get used to it.

    22 is a good piece of steel.
    I tip my hat.

    It really dulls somewhat when you draw from 2 different vials then pin. But at my age and been doing this for so long it ain't no big deal. However Terumo brand pins are a little sharper than BD.

    Terumo... I will try those.

    My first cycle I ran with cattle needles I purcgased at a feed store.
    It sucked.
    I would jam it in an have to cover the hole up with my finger to keep the med in.

    I even washed and reused them.

    16-18 guage
    I am thankful for 25's today

    The Terumo brand is sharper and has a finer finish than the BD. If you use them just to pin you should feel a difference. But if you use the same needle to draw and pin it'll defeat the purpose. They're usually more expensive than BD.
