from Portland, OR USA Date Reviewed: January 9, 2012 Strengths: Built Solid. The power of Heavy Metal, but it plays a cacophonous tune. Weaknesses: The head design can only be described as beyond awful, as it is exceedingly difficult to seat properly. Placing and removing it from valve stems, of either type but esp. Schrader, hurts my hands - and my hands are very strong. May the Gods help weaker souls... The lever also takes great effort to clamp and unclamp - it feels like forcing it into place is going to make your hands develop arthritis. The design also suffers from very awkward ergonomics i the pump is very heavy, balance is top heavy, and an inadvertent hose tug sends its great bulk toppling down with a huge pounding whallop onto the floor. WHAM! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: gift / hand-me-down Similar Products Used: Joe Blow Sprint - an excellent pump; Lenzyne floor pump - simple elegance that works.

from San Diego, CA Date Reviewed: December 7, 2007 Strengths: Serviceable. Looks sleek. Weaknesses: Valve Head does release presta valve unless you really work at it. To succeed you must put more torque against presta-valve/tube joint then reasonable, potentially damaging tube (or your hand when it finally releases and you smack it against hub/skewer/spoke area).

from SoCal Date Reviewed: March 9, 2007 Strengths: Moves air, but so does the wind. Weaknesses: Switching between Presta and Schrader functions seems to be too much to ask from this pump. The head design is obviously flawed. The ball valve sticks - fatally - in place and no amount of witchcraft gets it to move.

from Yokosuka, Japan Date Reviewed: December 7, 2006 Strengths: Sturdy construction, massive pump head, very quick to fill road tires due to dual chamber. Weaknesses: Wish the arrow ring pointing to tire pressure would stay put; it's too easy to rotate it around. Rather hard to get the pump head off.

from Harbor City, CA USA Date Reviewed: May 14, 2006 Strengths: Comfortable grip, pressure gauge that reads in 2pound increments. Weaknesses: Thumblock requires way too much effort to engage, the pin that the thumblock swivels on would continually back out on mine, air leaks from the chuck after very short time period (maybe a couple of months), and last but not least, forget about using the schrader opening (it's very difficult to work the schrader opening onto your schrader valve and damn near impossible to get it off.

from Rochester Hills, MI Date Reviewed: February 13, 2006 Strengths: Durable barrel, good handle and stable base. Weaknesses: Very poor head. I personally cleaned and rebuilt the head when it did not work after purchase. There was no other option since I was in the north woods with no options. It works well after I fixed it. But it works much worse than any of the four pumps I've owned over the last 20 years. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $65.00 Purchased At: Rochester Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Silica presta, Schwinn, Blackburn and private label brand. Bike Setup: Hardtail with SRAM parts, XTR wheels. Full suspension with all XTR. Mountain tandem with Sram, Shimano, Formula etc..
