Product Description
An elevated gauge, so you don"t need specks to see if you"ve got the right pressure. TwinHead makes inflating various valves a breeze, without the hassle of flipping washers around to go from Presta to Schrader. Padded elastomer handle provides more comfort when inflating.

 Nice door stop. August 10, 2005

This pump is a nightmare. The nature of its problems seem to be design flaws, so I doubt there is any chance of scoring a `good one.'
1. The rubber gasket upon which the air compression depends seems to be too small, and so gives no seal, so that the stroke goes down about 75% before air begins to be pushed.
2. Though it is incidental in view of the catastrophic failure already described, the top cap is not attached, and detaches, i.e., the pump falls apart, on every upstroke.
Inasmuch as this pump is incapable of accomplishing it's one and only function, it is worthless. I am appalled that this tyre pump ever made it into production. I always research these reviews before taking a shot in the dark, but did not read anything negative. I had to pay the initial $5 P+P, then $13.50 return postage-well over half the value-to find out that I cannot buy a pump through the post.

Mine worked fine--for about 9 months. Then the valve blew out and it was worthless except for inflating rubber balls to about 9 psi. Wouldn't recommend this, unless you want to buy a new pump every year or so.
 Pumps car tires and bicyles tires October 23, 2005

I use it mostly for car tires. Gauge is accurate and the pump attaches easily to tire stem. You get a workout but effort is less than other pumps I have had. Bicycles are a snap. Keep one in the car.
Not practical - head is too large - too much plastic. February 17, 2007

The end of the hose (the part that attaches to your tire valve, etc) is too large. I can't use it on my kids' bikes because it won't fit between the spokes on their tires, and I can't use it on my car because it won't fit in the nook on my wheels. It is even difficult to use to inflate balls with an inflation needle. It is difficult to get the needle attached to the hose-end because the diameter of the cavity, into which the needle goes, it slightly too small. With force, you can get it in, but good luck trying to get it back out.
Part of the reason for all these prolems is that too much plastic is used in the hose-end. If they only used steel, it could have been made much smaller - and therefore much more useful.
 Bad presta inflation April 26, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I had problems getting the presta valve head to depress the inner stem so it would take air on my road bike. I messed around with it for a while trying to insert it right and finally gave up and returned it. I ended up buying a Specialized pump with a dual valve head and it works better.
The actual build quality of the pump is better than some because the floor plate is metal and the pump doesn't flex when you pump high pressure, but beware of the presta head.
