Has anyone used one of these dripless seals from Johnson? Or heard anything good or bad about them?

i am considering a Volvo rubber stuffing box, but this looks interesting.

I was told it …”uses a patented seal race inner bearing seal system.”

the wide end has the seal, and the narrow end is on the stern tube…

I am always suspect when one manufacturer sells a product that is price well below all the competitors. I'm not saying price competition bad, just saying that someone who sells a product at ⅓ the cost of a similar PYI product must have cut corners somewhere.

Different design, different materials, etc can justify or rationalize a lower (or higher) price.

I am more interested if anyone has ever used this design.
