Texsport Double Action Hand Pump for Air Mattress , Yellow , 67 x 28.5 x 11.8

Well made product although I’ve not used mine I have used one before. Much faster and stronger than battery powered pumps which never seem to get the air mattress as full as necessary. I’m heading for the mountains the day after tomorrow and the pump is already packed with my gear and in the car. This time I won’t be waking people up topping off my mattress at 3:00 AM.I used it the first time this weekend and after I remembered how the valve worked on my air mattress worked it performed beautifully. A warning though - you can easily overfill an air mattress. I popped a coil in mine which wasn’t a big problem but I wish I hadn’t. This puts the battery pumps to shame. It also deflates the mattress quickly and thoroughly. Bottom line - love it.

Have been using this pump since April 2013 to blow up a double queen air mattress and the kid pool. We were using it over the weekend when my sister asked where to get it, so I pulled it up on Amazon for her. After reading a couple of negative reviews I decided to write my own.Over all remember that this is a hand pump, it requires energy to use and you are going to be the one supplying that energy. If you don't want to exhibit muscular force, get an electric pump.After 5 years of moderate use, blowing up the air mattress 3 to 4 times a year, and the kid pool 6 to 7 times a year, and the various odds and ends like beach balls, it is still like the first day. The seal doesn't leak and I still get full air movement through the whole stroke. I really like the double action pump and it works! I also like the ability to deflate everything I put air into. It's great to watch everyone trying to stand on stuff and pinch that little nozzle. I just throw the attachment in and pump the air out 3x as fast. The handle does feel a little flimsy but it has lasted, no problem. The tubing doesn't leak (no holes, tears, kinks, etc) and still seals into the handle. The attachments/fittings are great. It seems there is an attachment for anything I need to put air into (doesn't work for tires or sports balls).If your looking for a hand pump, get this one.

The pump works well, and quickly inflates exercise balls and balloons. The output hose has a bayonet-type connection to four different tips. It is not any type of standard hose connection as far as I know. This connection leaks. Not enough to be a problem for typical uses, but I find it annoying. If you only use one type of tip, you could fix it with tape or glue. Haven't taken it apart but I guess the piston is about 4.5 inches in diameter. I attached the largest of the four tips to a 1/2-inch pipe fitting using hot-melt glue, caulk, and tape, and measured the pressure. The pump can deliver up to 9 psi with my full weight on it (and since it pumps both ways, remember you need to use the same force pulling up, as pushing down). The label on the pump says nominal 1 bar pressure (14.5 psi) but due to the large piston you'd have to be able to pull and push well over 200 pounds to reach that. Of course for an air mattress etc. you'd never need or want anything like that pressure.

Versatile product for blowing up balloons for my kid's party or inflating a tow tube at the lake. The attached adapters actually fit all my inflating needs. How rare is that? I was thrilled to have what I needed and not have to make an additional purchase.The tube attaching pump and adapters need TLC. It kinks easily. Detach the hose before putting it in the box. Other users gave this excellent advise.I can pump up a two person tow tube in about 15 minutes--set up, inflating the three chambers, and stowing the pump back in my car. The time frame is similar for deflating the tow tube. Though a bit unwieldily to pack in/out of remote locations it isn't heavy and it sure beats arriving at a destination with a non-working battery powered pump. It has already paid for itself just in battery purchase savings and it is a whole lot more environmentally friendly.

Got to camp without batteries. A fellow camper loaned me his. It worked so great I ordered one. Much better than a battery operated inflater for a mattress. It’s easy and fast.

**Pros:**Well constructed. Minimum 50,000 pumps before seal wears out (my estimate).Large volume.Bi-directional; you can switch between pumping outwards or sucking inwards.Double action; one pump on each direction of stroke.Will also pump in/out water (make sure no debris are present)**Cons:**Very strong silicone seal produces significant friction, making it difficult to pump. Requires more muscle and effort to operate.Inlet/outlet joint is not air tight. On top of the extra difficulty required to pump, you also are wasting 50% of air escaping through the joint.Pumping a double-decker queen sized mattress will make you very tired.Overall I decided to keep the product. Mainly because I'm tired of returning junk back to Amazon.The main thing you will need to fix is the leaking joint located on the handle bar. I did this with petroleum jelly.Lightly coat the inside of the joint with jelly, then make the connection, then coat the outer seams with more jelly all the way around. Be generous on the outside. Use alcohol to wash petroleum jelly away from your hands when done.

Great take along pump for rafting, inflatable kayak. You don't want to pump up your raft with it unless you are into self torture and have all afternoon. Unlike the dept store pumps that look similar this thing is built more like a real raft pump. Purchased 5 pk of HR valves adapters with 2 washers here on Amazon(cheaper than one locally) and they fit on one of the included adaptors. My WW Raft, Paddle Cat, K1 WW ducky, and SUP all need a HR inflator.Cons: doesn't come with HR adaptor. The most used valve on rafts and WW inflatables.If you want a small pump that will not let you down (and do not want to pay NRS prices) buy this and HK adaptor(s) with washers.

This pump cut my inflation time for a twin pontoon raft in half. It moves significant volumes of air with both the up and down strokes. A great value for the money.
