I posted this in the beginners forum only because it can be beneficial to a beginner.

I have four glow starter plugs and the only one I can depend on is the one I put an ALKALINE battery in to get the plug to light. The reason I don't like it , is because it's not reliable for hand starting. My Hobbico starter still charges but the tip wore out and no longer stay on the plug. The TH one didn't work from day one and I over charged the darn thing so it 's garbage. Then the dynomite starter had a meter which broke and I can only use the battery it came with for a few cranks of the prop.

So there is the dilemma I want to know what you use how long has it lasted and will it stand up to my hand starting rituals ?
