The pocket-sized Shorty packs more punch than many pumps twice its size. Oversized handle with rubber grip zones and end ridges for an excellent feel and grip.

I need a small pump to accommodate at the seat post. Search for Topeak but would have to order it online and must of them were over 9 inches long. Blackburn was my second choice because of its name and quality of previous products used. Haven't test it "live" yet but will post immediately. My first concern about small pumps were they capacity to maintain high pressure without a leak of air. I made some test with the Shorty and no leaks at all.
I paid high for it but you can find better prices over the Internet.
