Page 6 - Umarex Universal Steel BB Speedloader Reviews

Nothing, a real piece of junk

needs instructions includerd with unit

Supprised that Umarex would sell such a poor product. Did not work at all for me. I used their BB's and two other brands but still no go. A real waste of my money and time.

I can load BBs fast.

Tends to jam once in awhile.

Tends to jam once in awhile. May need a ball point pen or something handy to remove the jam by pressing the BB back into the loader.

The Umarex speed-loader does make it easier to load magazines more quickly, BUT - it's not exactly precision made. It's just a $10 molded plastic item, after all.

Make the plunger shaft from metal, or at least sturdier plastic. I'm concerned about breaking it, considering the amount of force required to push BB's through the device.

If you have an Umarex semi-auto BB repeater with a removable magazine (especially if you have more than one magazine) get this speed-loader. It's certainly worth ten dollars, just for the convenience.

Makes for fast loading of BBs for some pistols. It has attachments that can not only addapt for the listed pistols but can be used for others.

Heavier grade of plastic. Smoother mechanism

This does not work with some BBs. Example It jams up totally with Crosman Copperheads. It works perfect with the Daisy Zinc BBs. Smoothness of the BBs counts. In addition, a little spray oil. However, if the BBs have oil on them they will not fly correctly.

This jammed up at first, but then started working well. Its ok. Plastic is stronger than it looks.

Better instructions

Works good for loading the Colt Defender by Umarex.

great

nothing

works great i love it

Easy to operate

Heavier plastic or metal parts for the plunger system

It's a little on the flimsy side and you definately have to exercise some caution when pushing the plunger down as it seems it could easily be broken but if you just give it a shake to free the jam rather then forcing the plunger down it actually works quite well.

Works great for what I use it for. It helps to add a few drops of oil in with the bb's, makes them feed easier.

nothing so far

Once I got it working, it was wonderful. It is made from really tough material. It worked best with Daisy BBs. (Another popular brand was eventually OK but not as smooth or easy, even after I worked out the bugs.)

Adapter #4 (for the Makarov) would not stay on the loader. I permanently attached it to the speedloader with JB Weld. Next I Dremeled off a tiny amount of the lock-lug to shorten it by about 1/64" and increased the bevel by about the same amount. After I ran about 100 BBs through the mechanism to loosen it up.I also added a few drops of oil to the hopper. I switched to Daisy BBs. It now functions beautifully. Now I wouldn't be without it!

This may work easily "right out of the box" for other magazine fed BB pistols, but it required a bit of tweeking and creativity with the Makarov. Don't give up if you initially have problems with it...you can probably work them out!

It works with a lot of clips and can be adapted to work on other brands.

Make them a little stronger"They seem too fragile for long term use.And offer more adapters.

Be careful tying to fit them on clips"One wrong move and the adapter could snap ande break

It is obvious that plenty of work went into the pre-production of this thing. It is very well made. If I had one of the guns that the dedicated adaptors fit, I might expect even more from it. It even stores with the plunger compressed and locked inside to keep it from breaking off. That's a neat idea.

Well, the one I got just refused to work. With any more than one or two BBs in it, it jammed up tight. If it was up to me, I would make the "chute" that the BBs come down from the bulk area narrower so that they stay single file and did not bunch up, get almost side by side and then hang up and get stuck in the soft plastic. When that happens, the whole thing locks up.

I am not planning on sending it back to PA. In fact, I didn't even call them. By the time they send me another one, the cost of shipping it twice almost doubles the cost of the unit. Had I known in the beginning that the total I would spend to get one would be so much, I would not have bought it. So, I am going to cut my losses, just take the hit on this one and see what else is out there.

Everything this is a very good product I would recommend this to anyone.

nothing

I use this with the Walther PPK BB gun and I like that it loads the BB magazines fast.

There is a trick to using this. You need to shake it a little to get the bbs to come out. The plunger seems to bind a little. I would like to to be smooth and load evenly but it does work.

Occationally, I would need to remove the clip for the magazine holder to remove an extra bb. Annoying but not enough to stop me from still using. Still use it and like it very much.

The ease in which you can load BB's, if it worked.

I would make it work.

the plunger had to be pushed real hard to get BB's to come out, when it worked. and now it just doesn't do anything. will be talking to PA about a return/refund.

I have 9, 15 round clip and without this I think I would sell the gun. It takes a bit to get used to but after you get the hang of it I can load all 9 clips in less than a minute. A very good product and I am happy someone came up with the idea.

Nothing

Take you time a figure out how it works, don't force it, remove the clip and try again. Sometimes BB's get jammed. Once you get how to use it you will not understand how you could do without it

Piece of junk, does not work, struggle with it for a length of time and went back to loading by hand.

The big change would make, is to make it a working product! Not an overpriced piece of junk!!

save your money

Makes loading bb s easier in bulk magazines,not so easy loading my clips or my Walther PPKS bb gun

Instruction more in depth

This is a good tool, it takes time to master it

fast loading of my ppk mags

bad instructions

a drop or 2 of pellgunoil on the plunger solves the jamming problems

I have had my speedloader for about 3 months now. At first, I was like some of the other reviewers. It was more of a hassle then it was worth. It jammed on me all the time and seemed very fragile. But I planned on buying extra clips, enough to last 1 co2 cartridge, which turned out to be 9 clips total. I was not about to manually load them. I even bought 2 more loaders so I have not ever have to do so. I kept playing around with the loader until I learned how to use it. I broke it twice but was able to "crazy glue" it back together and keep it working. Now I do not have any problems at all with jamming and man, does it save me a bunch of time. I have ran about 12,000 BB's through it and it still works fine, "crazy glued" and all.

I fully agree that the loader should come with better instructions and a very clear warning about what will happen if the BB follower in the clips is not placed in the proper position.

A person has to remember 2 things and that solves most of the problems. 1st is to shake it between clips to preload it. The second and the most important is to place the clip BB follower in the load position. Not doing so is how I broke it and also was the reason for it to jam up.

Well... the concept of being able to load magazines more quickly is kinda cool.

Just about everything. This thing just feels CHEAP! when the lever comes up you just can't push it back down unless you put an ungodly amount of force on it which either breaks it or it sprays several bb's all over the place. it also makes a signature of an el cheapo plastic product: "CRINKLE!" that's about it, if I missed any thing read other reviews.

Don't buy this, I guess if you filled it with lead shot you could use this as a doorstop. The bottom line is DON'T BUY THIS, it is a $10 peice of JUNK.
