from Denver,co Date Reviewed: May 5, 2010 Strengths: Low-ish price and brand name were initial attractions, but ... Weaknesses: With light use one season, the chuck broke. $10 part to fix. Second season, plastic threaded male fitting at base cracked. Now unusable. Not sure if can be fixed, doesn't matter, threw it in garbage. Also, when it did work, it is difficult to get the chuck off a presta valve. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: many many many Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $30.00 Similar Products Used: Bought a Lezyne steel drive floor pump ($50) to replace the Park pump. Since it's new I can't address its long term durability, but the quality of the construction sure looks good and I like the fact that it has metal fittings.

from andover, ma , usa Date Reviewed: July 5, 2009 Strengths: none... Weaknesses: annoying all around. I bought this pump to inflate my presta valve tubes. This pump refuses to let go of the valve once the tire is inflated. the ONLY way to get the pump free is to twist it, which bends or breaks the valve 9 out of 10 times. I've gone through mroe tubes for broken or bent valves than for flats. Given that I ride on some pretty aweful streets in the Boston area that is really saying something. Specialized and countless others make a much better, more reliable product. at least for presta valves... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years

from Minneapolis Date Reviewed: September 21, 2008 Strengths: Attractive, well-built pump for a good price. Good pump until it failed. Weaknesses: It's a $30 pump. Tips easily (like many pumps in this price range). Uses a segment 8 mm pneumatic tubing instead of more common 10 mm in crucial spot.

from Balko, OK USA Date Reviewed: September 21, 2006 Strengths: The pump works well. It is easy to use and pumps up my road tires quite easily. The gauge (although mounted somewhat low) is fairly easy to read. Weaknesses: It doesn't stand by itself real well. The head is the same as the Nashbar pump that I owned previously (which had given me problems) but it works better.
