Page 3 - Umarex Universal Steel BB Speedloader Reviews

I have not had an opportunity to use this item and will probably start using it sometime in May of this year. So far I have been extremely happy with every item I have purchased from Pyramyd Air an I am sure this item will be very helpful in loading magazines.

slick

Works great

It speed loads bb's. Making dreams come true.

Metal plunger might have helped a bit, maybe not so cheap feeling plastic.

This thing works and the problem most people have is that it comes with no instructions.
1) only fill it maximum 3/4 full
2) make sure you pull down the spring catch in your clip, don't use this to force it down while feeding bb's
3) you will need to shake it periodically and at times the plunger needs a firm push down but don't force it. If it feels stuck, shake it.
4) use the right attachment, check out the YouTube video. I have used this to fill clips on my Bersa BP9, Berreta 92, P08 all with no issues.

Fix Feeding and locking mechanisms.

Received my speedloader with one BB in the exit hole. Filled the loader with BBs' and the plunger would not go down. Tried with both copper and steel BBs' with same result. With a little playing, found out that with only about 12 BBs' in the holder loader works OK, more then that and the plunger jams.

Works as described and makes shooting the top load clip replica guns (mine was the Smith & Wesson M&P and used the adapter shown on the far right in the descriptive picture) so much more fun!

Better instructions. The instructions on the back of the package are small and not very well written. If Umarex wants to use mainly pictures with limited text...they should be big enough to make out. Even young eyes would have a problem making them out.

Does it feel cheap and flimsy? Yup. Does it work? Did for me with no jamming. I now have 3 clips for my pistol and loaded all 3 without spills in under a minute.

You don't have to push that hard on the plunger. The operation feels rough but works great! Get a magnifying glass and look at the back of the package to figure out which adapter to use and how to use it.

This product is an absolute piece of junk. It doesn't work.

Make it work

Don't waste your money.

The idea of it. I had one for airsoft speedloader from a different manufacturer that worked great. Value for the money would have been good if it functioned at it advertised purpose.

Whatever it takes to help this thing do what it was made to do. It regularly jams up and pressing too hard caused the plunger to flex all around.

Ultimately this saves you no time at all. With all the jam ups and wasted BB's when it does clear you are better off with whatever you were using before this. BB speedloaders can be awesome when they work... that is not this one.

This loader works fantastically well. With this loader, one or two pushes on the piston fills the magazine being loaded with 21 BB's

none

decent construction

make it usable for side loading mags . The adaptors are only for top loaders and you can use it for a side loader like mine without an adapter, but nothing you see before you buy it tell you this

It sure beats feeding bb's one at a time by hand into certain guns. Not perfect, but worth it.

I have a similar product for soft-air bb's that works flawlessly. Why can't this one be designed to work better than it does?

I've only put a few hundred bb's through it and it works fairly well. Much better than hand feeding bb's one at a time. I followed the advice of other reviewers. First put a little oil in it to lubricate it. Did so by putting a drop or two in he hopper, adding a few bb's, adding another drop, adding more bb's etc. Than shook it all up to disperse the oil throughout. Pushed the plunger to eject bb's. If the plunger offered resistance, didn't push harder. Instead shook the speed-loader until the jam cleared.

Works well and is easy to use.

Nothing , waste of money

Nothing. Piece of junk. Terrible instructions,worthless.

Everything

Stay away from this useless piece of junk!

nothing, it jams up and won't load but 3 or 4 bb's at a time. Attachments don't fit,it's supposed to be universal.

Fix it so it doesn't jam.

I bought 2 of them and wouldn't buy them again

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I would change the fact that I even bought this, I would not have purchased this if I had known that it's not universal and the one gun that I do have that it's supposed to work on, it jams and then spills the bb's. Great idea, bad end result.

Does anyone else make one that works?

This item is wonderful, providing you take your time and learn how to use it correctly. I also find that if you use none of the attachments, the device makes filling BBs into a Crosman 760 and simple few second job. No more tedious process of loading one BB at a time!

The instructions should be better. They are quite unclear.

Be careful when attaching or removing any of the attachments until you become familiar with the device. The plastic is a bit brittle and can easily break with too much pressure.

Its convenient holding capacity...

...keep it from jamming while feeding. Mine is jerky and almost jams immediately from the git go. Can never feed more than 4 at a time and am now manually feeding my mag just as fast and w/o the frustration. Is cheap astic btw...

Do not buy this one.

Concept is good and may work well with other guns but it doesn't work on mine. Wasn't sure if it would or not and it doesn't.

nothing

nothing

NOTHING

EVERYTHING. Or better yet, discontinue selling this particular product.

This a very cheaply made, poorly engineered, poorly conceived product which causes more frustration than convenience. Umarex sells some of the highest quality air guns you'll ever buy. But this thing simply doesn't work, and I had one part break after only 3 uses.

Don't bother.
