Dumb question?

do they have a shelf life?- boxed and in a plastic bag for two years.

i'd say they have an indefinite shelf life, its mechanical so would only get worn out through actual use..

should be fine so long as they've been kept somewhere dry. if they spend a long time somewhere damp they rust, and the valve inside can stick
