AIRHEAD Watersports AIRHEAD Double Action Hand Pump

For the price this pump is awesome! I use it for a float tube that I fill with an electric pump first, and then use this to top it off. The deflate option is great as well for the end of the fishing season. Pulls out all the air in my tube so I can store it nice and compact.

The choice of being able to add air on both in and out pumping action blows up big floats much faster. The choices of nipples to insert into the floats means everything I had to blow up was not a problem. Relatively small size means easy to store. The foot rests mean it is easy to pump with strength.

This thing just works like a champ. It IS a little big - you wouldn't want it in your backpack, I don't think, but for camping where you take a vehicle, or for at home if you just want something that will work without electricity, this works just great. The attachments had one that fits, and stays in til you take it out, my old Coleman single air mattress. Fills it very quickly using the pump on both strokes setting. Even fills fairly fast on the single stroke setting since the air chamber is fairly large, but the 2-stroke is much faster and not that much harder to do. Got it for a few bucks less marked "Used" from Amazon's Warehouse Deals as the box it came in was mangled. What do I care about the box? Such a deal...Update 7-3-16: Still loving this pump. Had to get a new air matress, got an extra tall one this time, twin size. It took 200 strokes on the double pump setting. That may sound like a lot, and I guess it kind of is, but I like that the inflation can be accomplished without electricity and I just wanted to see how long/how many strokes it took. Though I hate the sound the electric pumps make, next time I probably would use one for the initial fill, and finish it off with this hand pump as this one will definitely get you up to a much firmer fill. The electric ones, mine at least, will start to complain at the resistance as the item gets almost full, leaving you with a mushy matress. A few pumps with the AirHead gets rid of all that mushiness. I'd buy this thing again in a heartbeat.

Es una buena bomba cuando no necesitas mucho para lo que necesitas. Solo que el tubo es malo, es de ese plástico de los tinacos rotoplas no es un material manejable, por lo tanto cuidar de no doblarlo o apachurrarlo para dañarlo

We just got back from camping, and got a chance to use this pump. Well, actually, we *had* to use this pump, because I forgot to pack my battery powered air mattress pump that we normally use. OK, here's the story: I've always used a 4 D-cell battery powered air mattress pump. It works pretty quickly, but never had enough power to really make the mattress firm enough. Wanting a bit better sleep on this summer's camping trips, I did some research and found the Airhead hand pump. My original plan was to fill up our queen-size air mattress 90% of the way with the battery pump, and then finish it off with a hand pump to actually get it firm enough for good sleep. I figured that would be faster and easier.Well, so we put up the tent, and I asked my wife where the battery pump was. Turns out that each of us thought that the other person had packed it in the truck. So, instead we got out the Airhead pump and got to work. I was very impressed with this hand pump. The "double action" pumping really moves a lot of air quickly, and the pump operated smoothly. It really did not take very much effort. We each took two short turns pumping, and the queen air mattress was just about full. I switched over to single-action mode for the last few pumps, as I thought I remembered reading that you could get better pressure this way. Unlike some of the reviewers, I had no problem with the hose coming out of the mattress. It simply worked great. My only advice is to pump smoothly and take care not to push/pull the handles crookedly as it is a plastic mechanism and I suppose that this would cause the plastic to stress and break eventually.Bottom line: This thing is a bargain. It didn't take any longer than using the battery pump (possibly even less?) and for the first time, we were able to blow up the mattress to be firm enough. Plus, I no longer need to worry about checking the batteries in the electric pump. From now on, this will be the only one we're packing in the truck.
