I works like it should. Smooth and reliable...

Adding assembly directions/instructions. Granded, all it took was screwing things together. But with all the extra rebuild parts, it left me wondering if I needed to add O-Rings to any of the connections. I did not,so easy. But I still had to check and make sure there was a moisture trap installed. It was.

It's my first pump. So...It works great to pump up my 500cc dual tank Dragon Claw Cal.

It was the cheapest pump option that wasn't junk. The pump overall seems okay, it does take considerable effort to pump but its not horrible. I pumped my new Benjamin Marauder to 3000 psi in a few minutes - I'm 5'10", 165lbs and in average shape. You will get a workout using this but its not a bad thing. Also, the handles are nice.

The folding feet is a terrible idea. They flex while you pump, and they are thin flimsy metal that ended up bending while pumping. I didn't abuse the pump and I did my absolute best to pump straight up and down the entire time. I will probably end up making my own custom feet for it out of plate steel that will not flex at all. However most people don't have access to a welder and metal working tools to do this so they will be stuck with the terrible folding feet.

I would suggest looking at models without folding feet.

easy to use

nothing

it will give you a work out LOL

I the grip handle.

Nothing to change.

Good for the airgunners so they will have good exercise especially when you are using every day.

Seems decent.

Might as well burn the instructions as they seem pretty useless. Extra parts in the bag is nice I guess if they would provide a manual and directions on how rebuild it.

I like that no matter where I'm at I can fill my rifle

That it takes so many pumps to get it up to pressure

Is an all-around good pump well worth the price and great to get started

Its a cheap air pump but it gets the job done

A instruction manual would be useful. Along with a working air pressure gauge.

Save and get a more expensive one. Its not worth the 110$ they ask for it

This pump works great takes a little work to get above 3000 psi take your time and put your weight into it no problem

Maybe a longer hose and better diagram were all the parts go at but it will get you by

Works great just take your time and let the pump time to rest and cool down so it doesn't get too hot

Cheap starter pump that works.

Provide a more detailed manual including exploded views, part numbers, and assembly instructions. Publish the manual in the website. Have spare parts readily available.

There is no detailed information on parts and assemblys. No manual can be downloaded from manufacturers website or anywhere. Parts are always out of stock.

Build quality was good and the included instructions are sufficient. Out of the box it requires the handle to be screwed onto the base with the included allen wrench and screws and also the pressure gauge and hose need to be attached with the included wrench. Seemed like out of the box it required a bit of break in as it took quite awhile (maybe 20 minutes or so) to fill the first small bottle I put on it. After that it's worked pretty well, took about 75 strokes to bring my dreamlite compact from min fill to max (~150 bar to ~230 bar).

The trick to it seems to be to maintain smooth strokes even when it's at higher pressure when the last 4-5 inches gains quite a bit of resistance. It does require a fair bit of force to inflate, my wife and kid couldn't manage to push it all the down above 100 bar or so. If you're light weight or concerned about exertion you might want to pass. Especially if you're below 150 I bet you would have a lot of trouble.

There are quite a few features that I really liked on this particular hand pump. The hand grips have a palm swell that makes them very very comfortable. The folding foot pads are a nice touch as well. I especially like the large-diameter relief valve, and oil-filled manometer

I don't think there's anything at that I would change. For the price, this is an outstanding purchase that works extremely well

25 pumps to go from 120 bar to 200 bar. I'm a little bit older, but I also have a little extra weight. It's not difficult to pump. Make sure that you pause at the top and bottom of each stroke so that you get full use of the pump

Things I didn't like. The tiny rubber ball and the gasket in the pin at the bottom for the check valve were not installed. At all. there was a spring in the bottom but that was all. So the first time I attempted to use it to fill my new Hatsan Flashpup it failed and was pressurizing the air on the upstroke rather than the downstroke. Since it does come with a replacement kit for the non-durable parts I was able to assemble it properly and it is now working.

There really isn't much that can be changed on a manual high pressure hand pump. The connection at the top of the piston (that connects it to the head and then to the handle) is held in place with a 1/32 sized pin. I would rather see it drilled and tapped for a 1/8 grub screw or 1/16th at the least. Just for longevity.

I would not get this for any gun that has a pressure capacity over 200 bar. It takes considerable effort and time to fill my Flashpup and my Kral PB Silent to 200 bar from 90 but it does get the job done, If you have a PCP that goes beyond 200 bar get a compressor or you may be too worn out to go out and enjoy your gun! :) Other than the small niggle of it not being assembled completely when it arrived it has been a good pump and has done what it's supposed to do.

Fills my stormrider very fast and doesn't require a lot of strength to use.

Put a,longer hose on.

Works great! Used it about 15 times in two weeks from 1000 to 3000 psi each time and no problems at all. Solid pump. Really not that much effort if you use your body weight to help when the pressure gets above 2700psi.

Make more portable with folding handle.

Take your time and dont let the pump (or your heart) overheat. After a while any pump will likely become a backup air source. If you are going to be shooting a lot, invest in a compressor too.

Nothing. You have to disassemble the pump and rebuild it with lots of little pieces, oil, and awful directions. Why can't it arrive ready to use? It was the straw that made me return everything: gun, scope, rings, pellets, extra magazine, and the pump.

See above

If they know how to build pumps from the ground up, they will be fine. Otherwise, they will be like me.

Best pump for the money works great

Nothing

Great pump

I purchased this pump as a backup because I was waiting on parts for my Hill MK4. I am so glade I did, for the money the pump is amazing. It works just as well as my MK4 and a much cheaper, it also comes with 3-sets of replacement grommets. This is a Fantastic pump for the money, I highly recommend it.

Nothing, you are getting a great product for the money

this pump is compatible to other pumps that cost more then $100 then this one, and the folding feet make it easy to store
