Before I bought this pump, I had tried two hand pumps from a hardware store assortment. Both I have returned. The foot pump I will keep. For this price, very stable design, tight connection to the valves (anything but a matter of course) and good pressure buildup. I use the pump for the bicycle, motorcycle, car and balls. For all these purposes, the pump is well suited. The only criticism is the precision and scale of the manometer. I recommend here to create especially for motorcycles and cars, a separate gauge.
