Customer Review: Decent pump with caveats
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is a pretty decent pump. Everything works pretty much as expected. I liked the fact that it came with a Schrader-Presta adapter, which clips on to it conveniently. Ditto for the needle. I did have some problems with it though...
1. I don't really like the handle on the pump. It doesn't snap securely into place and wobbles all the time when in the perpendicular position. I usually just use it in the regular orientation, but its a little harder to get a good grip on it like this.
2. The needle which it comes with is screwed in with a RIDICULOUS amount of torque. Theres pretty much no way to get it out without pliers. Once you get it out the first time, you don't need to leave it in that tightly. Just remember to screw it off for the first time when you have pliers handy and you'll be okay.
Also, as far as I can see, there are 2 ways of attaching the valve adapters. One of them involves unscrewing a couple pieces of the head and screwing the adapter piece on. This seems needlessly complicated, because it seems to work okay if you just wedge the adapter in to the head.
Customer Review: Depends on what you want it for
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Overall it is a good product.
I like the needle attached to it for inflating balls.
However if you want to inflate your bike's tires you are waaaay
better off with a foot or floor pump even if they are a bit more expensive.
It is difficult to properly inflate tires with this one. You can do it, but it requires some power, and also it gets harder and harder as the tire inflates.It's not the issue of this product in particular but rather with all pumps like this.
However, it is small. So it's the only choice if you want a pump in your backpack.
Customer Review: Dud switch but otherwise OK.

The main pump socket works well, is smooth and will get you home if your bike tires are soft, and pump up many items. The needle however did not work at all on my example. I assume the switch was broken. I did manage to use pliers to extract the needle and use it witht he main socket fine, but the point is the quality control should have picked up this issue.
My lesson learned is to check all functions in the shop before purchase in future as i did not even try the needle for 6 months after purchasing the product.
Customer Review: Not great for bicycles
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
May be for footballs. Not great for bicycle pumping. Too small and that is why takes too much effort to pump even a small amount.Customer Review: Save your money

I purchased this pump this evening at a major retailer upon being attracted to the mid-range price, and what looked like ease of use and convenience. Both of my tires started out feeling somewhat soft, but did not register any substantial PSI on my tire gauge. I began with the front tire and got it up to 25 PSI. A few pumps later, all of the sudden, I could hear air leaking out. I unattached and reattached the pump over a dozen times with similar results. After a while, I was completely unable to pump ANY air into the tire as it appeared to be leaking out faster than I could pump it in. I even thought that perhaps I was using the wrong valve converter (Presta vs. Schrader) so switched the converter around as well. I assumed I must have a bad tire, so I switched to pumping the back tire instead... Ultimately, now BOTH of my tires are currently COMPLETELY flat, and to pour salt in the wound, "Bike to Work Day" is tomorrow... I dropped my vehicle off in another city this evening, and bussed back home... In order to have access to my vehicle after I biked to work in the morning, then headed off to another destination that can't be reached by bike or bus after work... Hey, on the plus side, it looks like this useless accessory would look really cool when mounted to your frame...
