Kegco BF EBCFBLSHANK4-2 Beer Faucet and Shank, 4-1/8", Chrome

For the price point I was not expecting much, but these faucets appear to be well made and have a good heft to them. Installed and working like a champ!

This two-pack of shanks and faucet assemblies sells for around the same price as a single perlick faucet. For getting into kegerators / keezers there is a tremendous amount of value in this kit. I installed these faucets and shanks on a 7.1cu Haier chest freezer and they are working great so far. They also look really nice.Pros:Arrived well packaged and protectedIncludes everything you need except tubing, hose clamp and keg couplerNice heavy weight constructionIncludes black plastic handles that can easily be replaced laterShank is plenty long to go through 1.5" of wood + 3/4" foam boardPriceCons:After stopping the flow of beer you will get a few drips

This was time sensitive. I ordered prime and sent the faucets but NO SHANKS it said combo. Now my bar for the holiday party is a no go unless i find a place open on Christmas Eve. I really wish people would take 10 more seconds to just DOUBLE CHECK a order.

I got these because of the shank and faucet combinations. It seemed like a good idea at the time. However, I discovered that if you don't use the faucet every day or two, it gets jammed. If it goes on long enough, it can get REALLY stuck. Don't buy these. Look for a faucet with the handle between the spout and the beer, like perlick faucets; that way, the beer won't have a chance to dry out and cause the moving components to get stuck.The one good thing (why I gave it two stars instead of one) is that, despite getting stuck, they're very solid, and you can crank on them without breaking them.

Everything is good quality and just as advertised. The barbed shank however means if you damaged the barb, you can't just swap it out. Keep it all safe and out of harms way and you shouldn't have any problems.Plus side of integrated barb, one fewer connector to worry about under/over tightening or bad gaskets.

For the price, these things are GREAT! Sure they don't have ALL the bells and whistles but that is not why you buy them, you buy them to get the job done and that is exactly what they do. Be sure to install a drip tray under them and be aware of the nature of liquids under pressure. You manually shut the taps off, when friends see the round button on the front of them and decide to push the button then the beer flows out onto the floor. when you don't have enough hands free... etc... But if you use it as it was intended, you have a product worthy of its price. You can change out the handles. Add model paint to them to spice them up.

So the chrome plated faucets aren't the Cadillac for the home keggorator, but they are great products for a great price. No issues from me. Sturdy build, and been using another set I had ordered for over 3 months now with no issues. Easy to disassemble and clean.

Nice intro set to start building my keezer. Couldn't afford the Perlicks, but these do the job. They get stuck occasionally, but I bought a faucet brush to see if that stops it from occurring. Otherwise, it's a nice set to get you started and it gets the main job done, which is to pour beer.
