Customer Review: Works OK, But There Are Flaws
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I needed a basketball pump to air up a new Spalding basketball I recently purchased. I didn't have much cash on me and this pump was right next to the ball, so I picked it up. I had no trouble airing the basketball up. Many other reviewers at Amazon have complained that the pump leaked air while they were pumping. When I first starting pumping, I had that problem, too. Then I just pushed the needle further down, the "leak" stopped and I was able to pump without any problems. However, the needle that comes with this pump is very cheap. It bent while I was airing the basketball up. If you have a basketball that needs to be aired up quickly, this pump isn't a bad purchase, but if you're looking for something longer lasting and more durable I'd suggest looking for a different pump.Customer Review: Spend more, get better....

This works fine but is tough for kids and doesn't seem like it will last very long. I bought a metal foot pump, with a built in air pressure gauge that was made of metal and can be used for bike tires, balls, etc., for less than $15 (to replace this ball pump). A foot pump is just so much easier. Of course, get a good ball, and you shouldn't have to pump it very often. Once you use a foot pump, these hand pumps will go right into the garbage (or to someone else). If money is an issue, this will work. If you want something a lot better, for a little more, go to a good foot pump.Customer Review: Not so easy to pump balls with

I spent a minute trying to pump my basketball with this pump. I bounced my basketball and it was still a bit flat. Then, I realized my automatic pump might be able to pump balls too, so I inserted the needle with the electric pump, and within 5 seconds of pumping, the ball bounced like new. I'd recommend a multi purpose electric pump if possible.
But you can't beat the price on this pump, just expect some sore arms if you're using this.
Customer Review: Flimsy pump but it does the job

This is a good cheap pump just to get a basketball inflated. I would not want to use it frequently though... it's just a good pump to throw in your car so if you're at the courts and you realize the ball is flat, you have something to pump it up with.
Customer Review: It works, but not the best pump for every need.

This pump works for basic stuff, but that is about it. It gives you what you pay for, which is a ball pump that cost under 5 dollars. Don't try to inflate anything large, or you will stress the pump out.
