The Magnum and PULSE injector kits seem very similar, as shown in pictures and videos. A few key differences and feature variations explain the price difference.

  • While both models have their origin as a veterinary tool, the Magnum is better engineered and manufactured to a higher standard.
  • The Magnum is built heavier yet more comfortable in the hand and will hold up better after extensive use.
  • The PULSE has an adjustable gasket tension, while the Magnum depends on more precise machining and less tolerance to operate efficiently without needing adjustment.
  • The Magnum has four different accessory configurations, while the PULSE has only one option.
  • The Magnum injector is manufactured in the US, while the PULSE is made in China.
  • Both have 1-5 ml dose settings by a dial, and both use a ratchet system to advance the plunger.
  • Both come with o-ring replacement kits for the needles and plunger.
  • Both have replacement parts available and are guaranteed for one year.
