Giant plastic syringes intended for water fights, the Hydro Stiks and Stream Machines can shoot a quarter-inch diameter stream of water as far as 70 feet. They will suck water off a raft's floor, or you can use them to wash down a dirty raft, but they are designed primarily to give you the edge in a water fight. Standard models holds 2 quarts of water available in 12", 24" and 36" long, 2" diameter PVC tube. Stream Machine is a Hydro Stik with a pistol grip handle and brighter decor. New nozzle design allows faster filling. Comes in assorted colors!CAUTION: Should not be aimed at the eyes, since the stream of water is very powerful at close range.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
There is nothing better for serious hot-weather water fights in a pool, lake or, river.
I've had 5 of these, and have seen dozens in use.
The 36" is best, except smaller children find the 24" easier to handle. The 12" model is pretty worthless. There's also a double barrel model that has much shorter range because your arm strength is divided between 2 cylinders.
Pricing: You might find the 36" model for 16 to 18 buckss if you look around locally.
The quality has gone down hill since 2002. They are lighter and more breakable but still, there is nothing better for serious hot-weather water fights.
If it gets sticky, wash out the sand and shoot a little silicone spray into the chamber.
