I used a Paacshe for years and dropped it. It broke, not fixable. My generous spouse bought me an "expensive" Aztek. I have not had good luck with it at all. The air feed line input threading is non-standard, so that you have to use a special air hose. They don't make a high quality air feed line hose. Some types of paint don't feed well, it is splattery, and after only a couple of months the "double action" broke so now it is only a single action. sigh, I need to get around to sending it back. I don't even notice the ergonomic design while using it, other than the air hose comes out behind my hand rather than in front. QUOTE: Apparently, this model comes with different nozzles from fine-line to high-flow. I currently use a Badger that only has one nozzle and wondered if the different nozzles would offer me some advantages that I'm not aware of. Don't know what advantages you are aware of. But if you use different types of paint and want different effects it really helps to have the right nozzle. The different nozzles do the work instead of having to learn how to manipulate the brush for whatever you are trying to do. I would hate to try to do a pinstripe with a general purpose nozzle. QUOTE: Would it be worthwhile to have both in my****nal of tools or should I just stick with the Badger which I have mastered already? If you have mastered everything that you want to do with your existing brush I would say, "no it's not worth it".

QUOTE: Originally posted by tommyr I have one & I am more than happy with it. Having the different nozzles is a real bonus. I had a Badger single action for about 20 years. It took a bit of practice to get used to the double action. I ca't say the Aztec is any better than the Badger except for the ability to change nozzles to suit the job. Tom
