harry Date Reviewed: May 23, 2013 Strengths: I am not ignorant but I have a college degree, I put the nozzle over the valve and the air would flow out the top hole, then it ate the top of the screw on my valve....I don't know lingo but this pump just ruined the valve on my tire. It is horrible. Weaknesses: it doesn't work Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: July 14, 2012 Strengths: Easy to use. Comes with presta valve adapter and ball adapter conveniently stored in the handle. Used the pump on both Schrader and Presta valves with no problem and no air leakage as has been mentioned by other reviewers. The gauge is quite easy to read and there is a movable marker that one can set to the required pressure. I have used it on my car as well as bikes, air mattress and footballs. Weaknesses: Gauge is at the bottom of the tube and one needs good eyesight to see the pressure marks. The movable marker helps here. No rubber feet under the floor plate and the air hose could be longer. The gauge markings start at 0 with the next mark at 10; it would be better to have the first 10 psi graduated so that one doesn't overfill a football. No pressure release button.

from Avon, CO USA Date Reviewed: October 11, 2010 Strengths: I freaking hated this pump from day one. It never seemed to work on my Presta or Presta adapter (for Schrader) as it wanted to leak air from the hole/interface I wasn't using. Upon disassembly of the pump hose head, I found that there is this little rocker assembly that has rubber discs to seal one or the other hole in the pump head. This is so when you're using one type or the other, the one not in use is sealed up when this rocker is pushed to the opposite side. DING. Am I this dumb? YES I AM. The Schrader adapter for the presta valve I'm using isn't LONG enough to reach up into the head and depress the little rocker arm. Ah, but will the Presta side work? YES IT DOES if you make damn sure the head of the pump is pressed all the way down onto the stem....almost swallowing the entire Presta stem. When it's fully seated. So, all this time I was cursing this floor pump it was my fault. Maybe it's your fault too??? (aimed at all the other negative reviewers....) Weaknesses: None once I figured out how to use it.

from Brooklyn Date Reviewed: July 4, 2010 Strengths: None. It doesn't work. Weaknesses: Quite simply, this product does not work if you use the presta valve. It is a defect. The air simply flows through and does not attach properly. Sometimes by pure luck and magic it will work, but this is very infrequent. It was only when I read many many other reviews of this same problem that I realized it wasn't ME. Do not purchase!

from Albuquerque, NM Date Reviewed: July 16, 2009 Strengths: If you can get the stem to seal it pump up your tire. Weaknesses: I found if very difficult to form a seal on the presta valve, especially if the stem is short. In fact, I often had to give up and use my mini hand pump. I would not recommend this pump to anyone.

from Orlando, FL Date Reviewed: September 5, 2008 Strengths: A good, solid, reliable pump. I use it three times a week to inflate road bike tires to 130psi. Weaknesses: None. Getting a good seal is a matter of pressing it onto the valve really hard before flipping the lever to seal it. If I had a choice, it would be nicer to have the guage at the top rather than at the bottom.
