Page 3 - Air Venturi MK5 Pump Kit Reviews

Very well made and works well to charge my rifle. I like the anti-moisture add on and it was easy to assemble.

I would have a longer hose not too much but another couple of inches would not hurt

Great product, well-constructed and worth the $$ spent.

Nice pump, works well to fill up a PCP. Kit comes with some useful additions. Gauge matches the air cylinder measurement, so it's accurate.

You better be in good shape!

well built heavy duty construction

longer hose have to lay gun on the ground.

Very easy to pump. High quality, far better than my $40 Chinese pump. You get what you pay for.

Fill hose needs to be about 6 inches to a foot longer.

Buy it you won't be sorry.

Pump is efficient, fast well made pyramid good service, thanks guys.

Easy to take apart and put together

A clip to hold the hose so its not laying on the ground

This pump is great but its still a workout. Im 66 and i do in in stages of 40 pumps at a time untill filled. This is great for ocasional use but not for alot of shooting unless your young lol.

Great pump, ease of assembly and disassembly

Needs a place to hang the hose, more cushioned handle

You will get you exercise with a hand pump. I bought it for back up electric pump soon

It seems well built. Easy to assemble.

Maybe make it taller?.. I'm not tall (5'7") and I still have to bend over a ways. I think someone tall would have a hard time with it.

The folks at Pyramyd Air recommended this pump for me as part of my first venture into PCP. I like that it comes with an air dryer, built in, as that is important to the longevity of any compressed air cylinder that you might want to fill. It was easy to put together and really does the job at least up to the 3300 psi on my Walther Reign. I am over 60 and only had to take a break for a couple of minutes between new gun first pump and topped off. Thanks to this I'll never go anything other than PCP again.

I would like to have larger feet on the pump so I could clear my knees from the pump handle while holding the base plate with my feet.

I recommend you use some sort of tie up to hold the hose in place when not in use as otherwise it drags on the floor picking up dust. I cover my air dryer and my hose end with plastic bags to keep them clean

Shipping was quick.Assembly was easy, everything was there that I needed to get started. Im using it for an AirForce Edge. Im new in the sport.

There is a brass quick connect that comes with this unit...I purchased the "water separator" package. Just make sure you look in the shipper carton, mine was not secured to the box the pump came in. It was wrapped separately, but can easily get discarded.

New in the hobby, customer service is great!! I called with questions and they took their time to help me. Lets see if it holds up.

Great air pump for the value. Solid built.

Ditch the water trap. Its not designed correctly. Should be on the hose side to the air tank.

For the price buy the same pump without the water trap. Save yourself the money for something that works.

Easy to assemble. Definitely get the desiccant filter.

You will need 14mm and 15mm metric wrenches to tighten the connectors.

Easier to pump than other pumps

Long Term Reliability

Comparing this pump to the Benjamin hand pumps (I own both)
Hill pump is 30% easier to pump
Benjamin takes fewer strokes (approximately 100) to complete a fill
Hill pump takes approximately 125 pumps to complete a fill
Each of my Benjamin pumps was rebuilt after 7,000 - 9,000 pellets fired
Hill pump required rebuild around 5,000 pellets
Bottom line - I like both: Hill pump is easier to operate, Benjamin is quicker to fill and will last longer between rebuilds

I am new to airguns. Pcp. Hatsan Flash QE bullpup. I have the air dryer option. This pump is very easy to assemble and use. Very high quality and well made. I highly recommend this pump. Easy to use. Fills gun very quickly.

Nothing

If you are new to pcp buy this pump. Well worth the money.

The materials, machine work and fit are above average when compared to any of the cheap Chinese made units. The gel grips are comfortable and the coating used on the on the outer pump tube is durable. The ergonomics of the unit will fit the average range of people. If you get above 6 foot you will notice that you have to start bending over to pump. This unit is also serviceable and fully rebuildable, something you do not see a lot of nowadays. The water separator is a standard slip over design and seems to function well. This kit is priced for the convenience it provides, basically everything you need to assemble a good pump that will separate water and fill your PCP with air.

The aluminum pump valve housing of the MK5 has been altered from the design of the MK4 by deleting the stabilization rails that were on the bottom of the MK4. This is how you can externally identify the difference of the pumps. The MK5 has a rounded bottom, easier to machine, and now relies entirely on the plastic composite foot base to keep the pump from moving side to side. They need to put the stabilization rails back. Also there is really only one way to increase your mechanical advantage over air, in a straight, non-leverage style pump and that is to make it pump less volume with each stroke of the pump. I am pretty sure that is how they obtain the reduction in effort although now you must pump longer

Aside from the poorly designed rounded bottom, this uniti is well made and well packaged. I did mention that the pricing of the kit is for the convenience it provides, not for all of its components. You may save a couple buck piecing together a water separater but this kit has everything you need, arriving all at the same time.

Well engineered and manufactured using solid, durable materials.

Nothing.

This item incorporates a moisture reduction system using replaceable desiccant particles within a clear housing. Solid and durable. Let item cool after 5 minutes of use.

Just got into PCP Airguns! My first purchase was the Benjamin Kratos .22 Cal. No dive shops near me I can use this and fill my Benji Kratos which has been getting well over 60 shots! and just topping it off! I am 5'7 and about 140 and since covid started haven't been to the gym. I can manage it and it does make me sweat when I get past 2500 psi. Love it and the warranty on it as well! Easy setup to!

Maybe a longer hose with a longer connecting fitting on it.

Alittle difficult to get my hands up in the kratos to the fill port. (I've small hands as well so you may want to invest in an extender quick release) one day i'm sure i'll get a compressor but this is simple enough to maintain and feel it'll last me and Pumping up and shooting for an hour or two is awesome for any need i'll have. until I go big bore haha.

This pump is very well made and works as advertised. I started with an absolute 0 psi on my "UMAREX AIR SABER" and took about 200 pumps to get it up to 3000 psi in the tank. It will be very useful when out in the field and no electricity is available to run the electric pump.

Nothing to change. It is a manual pump and works as expected.

Like any manual pump, you will get a good work out.

Compared to other pumps this one is great still work but a lot easier and well designed

Maybe a little longer hose

Pumps up my maurader from 2000 to 3000 in about 30 strokes

Knowing that all I have to do is pump it, using only my own physical ability.

I do not know.

I have had this for six months. I use it to pump my Umarex Gauntlet, my only PCP, at this time. I also have an electric air pump. I only need to pump it 200 pumps to fill 2,000 psi, which is all need, even though that Gauntlett is 3,000 psi. I will pump it to 3,000 psi if it is necessary. I am more than capable at 69 hrs old. I recommend this pump. Also, get a chronograph Woodys World
