Air Venturi MK5 Pump Kit Reviews

Very good HHP

Pump is built well, and delivery was quick. However I haven't been able to use it yet (see below)

My shipment contained neither the "new color changing media for the Dry Pac" (only the classic non-colored Dry Pac, the refill sachet did not contain a smaller bag inside) nor did it have the female quick-disconnect fitting.

most efficient pump I own.

nothing

buy it!

Easier to pump and more efficient. I went through a Hill MK. 1. Benjamin , Hill MK. 4. And finally bought this. Way faster filling than the three other mentioned pumps.

Nothing

This is the pump to buy

It takes about 75 pumps to go from 2000 to 3000 on my Marauder. Beats the heck out of driving to the paintball store. i'm back on the target in less than 10 minutes with the pump, and its good exercise for a 74 year old man.

Add a longer hose

it is a well built air pump; the moisture filter has lasted quite a few refills.

I would like a bigger base for me to step on and have more control and balance; using this pump is a workout! But Once you get the rhythm, and proper balance, it is a fun workout; still, It is solid built.

Works well. Nice and smooth motion.

Nothing

It is a good workout to get the gun pumped up. I don't plan to use the gun that often so I couldn't' t justify an electric pump.

I bought this for my Crosman Marauder Pistol. I have owned a 4500 psi pump a long time ago. This one is smoother. At 5'5" and 144 lbs, I have no problems pumping this.

none

Their customer service reps are experience with many of their products. I spoke with them extensively before choosing this pump.

I do have the mk5 Hill hand pump, but that I will only use in emergency or standby if my ReadyAir has issue. I I have only used it on my 25 caliber -1 Gauntlet-1. Too much to hand pump on my .22 & .25 caliber Gauntlet-2

It is what it is.

It would work fine if I was not 80 years old. I got an air compressor

Works well. So far no problem.

Nothing.

I am 70 years old. It is a little work out. But unless you buy a power air pump, it does the job. Exercise is good for me.

Was working well with my Umarex Gauntlet 2 until it broke. Don't know what's wrong with it but it's not building pressure anymore gets stuck at 20psi. When I go to pump it gets hard to push the pump all the way down. Furthermore, when I release the pressure via the bleed screw the handle shoots upwards.

Make them last longer than a few weeks lol.

Pump is quite heavy considering the size. Weighs about 3 times what a bicycle tire pump does. Good quality product.

Nothing

Be ready for a good workout, especially at the lower end of each stroke.

Nice box and easy instructions

I would not buy this pump or recommend it to anyone. For the price and the issues it has, don't waste your money. You might as well spend it on a lesser priced pump. I read the reviews on this pump and thought WOW!! This is the one to get. Fornthe momey and the amount of time it has worked, not a good choice.

After one month, the Hill MK 5 pump is working as advertised.

Beware of the misleading advertising copy re the "five year warranty". NONE of the seals, o-rings, etc are covered by warranty, and the exact language of the warranty is not available prior to purchase, or after purchase either. I had to pull teeth with PA in order to determine from PA that the "warranty" does NOT cover any of the typical failures that this type of pump experiences, namely, they fail internally and stop pumping, as occurred with my MK 4 Hill pump. PA had the nerve to nonsensically advise that the "warranty" would cover things like "if the handle should break" ... as if that is likely, and ignoring and specificall exempting the common causes of pump failure from warranty coverage. So its not a warranty at all in any meaningful sense. PA does not handle rebuilds on this pump but referred me to a phone # ( no e mail or website) for AIR VENTURI, who does not answer the phone.

Just know that the "five year warranty" is meaningless in any real sense of that which we normally would consider a "warranty", just cleverly worded marketing.

very high quality pump, have used it a few times to fill my s510 so far so good! becomes quite hard to pump near the 3500psi (250 bar) mark which is to be expected. O-ring kits are available too if needed down the road. takes 10 mins of slow and steady pumping with a 1 minute break in between to fill my rifle from 150 to 250bar.

longer fill hose would be very nice.

much cheaper and more convenient than a compressor or scuba tank for top offs. highly recommend, looks like it is built to last!

It works with no air leaks.

Nothing.

It took 215 pumps(downward strokes) to pump up the 165 c.c. reservoir from empty to 200 bar on my air gun. It gets pretty tough after 150 bar. Use your weight and bend your knees with arms locked straight making sure to pause at the top and bottom of strokes. Slow and easy is the way to go. I only put one foot on the base and the other one back a bit but that's just me. I could see where it could be a problem for lighter people to use. I weigh 250 lbs. and like I said it started taking a lot of force after 150 bar on the last 3 in. of the downward stroke. Hope this helps.

ease of use, simple to understand instructions, lubed pump very easy. I like everything bout this pump. The pump itself seems to be good quality steel. Smooth operating.

replace plastic base with aluminum one.

I followed the instructions for lubing it for first time extremely easy, assembly of pump simple, I bought this to replace an fx pump i had and a g4 from years back just wore out seals. I will use it to fill a walther dominator 1250, benji M-rod, and an avenger. Used it to pump up the avenger even though i did not make to a full fill because the secondary regulator (not the tank regulator) was showing in the red, had to fire it twice to release some pressure. I have no doubts that i could have filled it to 4500 psi, it was getting stiff am very pleased with this pump and would recommend. I am 5ft 6in tall my weight about 160 lbs early 50s. i used someone elses idea bout putting the filter media in a pill bottle and wrapped it in a zip lock bag. I do plan on getting a nomad, three pcps and this pump would wear me out and this would be a backup source. happy shooting.

This pump works well, is solidly built, is constructed to be serviceable and will last forever with proper upkeep.

Nothing. It is great.

I think this is the best pump on the market. None are easier to pump. That being said, using this or any pump is A LOT OF WORK. It is not for 97 pound weaklings. I use my pump as a regular part of my fitness program. I consider hiring a healthy young athlete to pump it for me.

Very nice hand pump. Works great for my Air Arms S510xs Ultimate sporter.

Built to last. Strong materials.
