Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked one of these the other day at the big bricks and mortar store. Mainly for my car. The guy in the 'car and tires' department looked like he was about to have a heart attack - "get a FOOT pump" he kept repeating, "these are for BIKES, not cars". When challenged, he wasn't able to actually find and show me the foot pump so the Bell Floor Pump with Gauge it was.
To make the short story short, I got all 4 tires inflated from 28 psi to the recommended 33 psi in about 10 minutes. It was about 25-30 pumps per tire to raise the pressure by 5 psi and I didn't break a sweat - cold winter, cold garage.
The good things this pump has going for are:
- comfortable grip
- pretty good pumping volume - sending a lot of air into the tire with each press
- air does not escape once it's mounted on the tire
- inexpensive
The not so good things:
- air hose is pretty short and on an SUV or truck you may have to roll it a little if the spout happens to be too high for the short hose
- the foot rests seem to be relatively easy to break plastic so you handle it with care
- the gauge readings are not reliable - they really show you the pressure in the pump not in the tire - used the Accutire MS-4350B Programmable Digital Tire Gauge for precise measurements
Briefly: this is a perfect pump for bikes and a good one for small cars, maybe not so convenient but still usable with trucks and really big SUVs.
