Things I liked:

This is a great pump I own several hand pumps and this is definitely the Cadillac of hand pumps. It is kind of expensive compared to others but it is worth it also make sure you get the desiccant moisture filter for this pump that way your gun stays dry and so does the pump

Things I would have changed:

I would not change anything. It moves a lot of air with little effort

Things I liked:

How do I send this garbage back!!!!!!!??????? Item arrived about a week ago. I assembled it about an hour ago. Tried topping off my talon p with it was losing airAND GREASE faster than I was putting any air in! After tightening almost everything on it, I tried again. No use. Still losing air as one where. I have an original Axsor that's at least 30 years old. After all these years it's in need of a reseal kit and, probably the little brass valve. Instead of fixing what has proven to be an excellent pump, I fork out a couple hundred bucks for this junk. I own several English made air guns that are leagues above this thing in fit and finish. Makes me wonder if it was made in China and assembled in Sheffield or wherever. It was even blowing grease out of the topside of the brass fitting at the base of the outer shaft housing. It was loose as a goose. And why so much grease to begin with!!!??? I just want my money back. No replacement junk. Sorry I ever ordered this thing right off!

Things I would have changed:

I'd try to implement some degree of quality control into the manufacturing process, first of all. Beyond that, I don't even know what to say right now.

What others should know:

Yeah sure. If you buy this, be prepared to spend money and time repairing it to the point whereupon it becomes a functional device. How much time or money that will entail, will ALWAYS be a mystery to me. I'm not going down that rabbit hole.

    Things I liked:

    Pumps fairly easily up to 4000psi. Haven't gone over that yet. Works better than my Benjamin hand pump.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make a better moisture trap. I made one that the desiccant filter can be unscrewed and replaced with a standard filter. Design the pump to dissipate heat better.

    What others should know:

    It's a little workout filling up to 4000psi, but still works better than the Benjamin hand pump. Go ahead and get a pump kit or at least get some of the little o rings. I've got some really abrasion resistant ones ordered. Regular ones won't last as long as it takes to replace them.

    Things I liked:

    Longer hose, handle seems sturdy.

    Things I would have changed:

    Collar that secures foot to pump could be metal.

    What others should know:

    New to PCP's. Only high pressure pump I've used and it fills my Marauder without strenuous effort using slow and steady 10 pump repeats.

    Things I would have changed:

    Add/include quick disconect fittings. Needs longer hose to keep gun out of dirt

    What others should know:

    Way too hard to pump. I was going to return it BUT return shipping was ATROCIOUS ---$45 from Calif back to Ohio. P A does not pay return shipping

    Things I liked:

    Solid and well built. Pushes air in on both direction. But still a lot of work.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would've incorporated a filter on the line instead of buying the overpriced one.

    What others should know:

    Instead of buying the Air Venturi filter for $45, I cut a strip of charcoal air filter and wrapped it around the tube around the air inlet. Just starting on this Air Rifle Hobby and trying not to spend too much too soon.

    Things I liked:

    Not paying for a compressor. Works. Effort, but it works.

    Things I would have changed:

    Somewhat expensive for a pump? Extend the hose length. Very short.

    What others should know:

    You can use this. For kids, it may be difficult, but if you can be directly over the pump, it wasnt that bad. These dont work by how fast you pump, rather it will fill and then as you are pushing down, compress the air to about 3 inches that you must push completely down. Feels like two NORTH magnets resisting each other and you have to make them touch. Never let your rifle go completely empty. Let fill get down to 1000 psi then pump back up to 3000.

    Things I liked:

    The pump is well built and does exactly what I expected it to do.

    What others should know:

    Ensure you tighten the hose at both ends (pump and connector fitting) before use to ensure an air tight seal.

    Things I liked:

    Very nice smooth pump.. PSI of pump doesn't quit match Benjamin Cayden gauge but its close enough.. Don't like the plastic foot stirrup & nut! but so far no problems.

    Things I would have changed:

    The plastic parts.. I think it should also come with atleast one rebuild kit as well..

    What others should know:

    It's nice & smooth! adds air pretty quick..

    Things I liked:

    Best pump I've ever owned fills my texan super fast very accurate gauge love it. Super solid in ur hand built very tuff

    Things I would have changed:

    The stupid thing don't come with the correct air line so I have to scavenge off ur old pump and hope the fittings r the same was not happy about that

    What others should know:

    Great over all price well built u might by the hole kit but was an extra 80 bucks!

    Things I liked:

    This is a serious hand pump. I have several bicycles so the operation of something like this is second nature to me but it does take some concentration to operate. Seems to be very well built but since it is British the instruction manual is "different" from stuff written here.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish the filler hose was a little bit longer, it is maybe 18" long. I have to lean the pistol against the wall while pressurizing it. I was stunned at the price, these things are not cheap.

    What others should know:

    Takes about 25 pumps to get my Diana Bandit ready to rock. That is not menial but very doable for me.
