Huben Hand Pump

Picked up a Huben hand pump this week and took it for a spin today. Filled my GK1 to from 200 bar 350 bar on the first try. Took about 70 pumps and was surprisingly easy to accomplish. I do not think it would be practical for everyday use but great for hunting or if the SHTF. "Air is free until you start compressing it".

I am really starting to drink this Huben koolaid.

I don't mind hand-pumping my pistols and I wouldn't mind having a decent pump like that.

The only drawback to the pump is it comes in a weird male end and female Huben style fill probe. Nothing in the box makes it foster friendly. I imagine pumping my HW44, 1701p or LP400 would be easy peasy with the right connector.

I called Topgun-airguns and ordered a female connector to a female foster QD to make it cross airgun compliant. Joe B makes the best HPA stuff. Great vendor and fast shipping.

Pretty cool device, has that steampunk vibe to it. Blows my eight year old $400 Hill hand pump out of the water.
 
Latest update on this awesome pump. Great pump, excellent engineering. I would buy again. Air is free until you start compressing it. This pump makes compressing air easier than my previous hand pumps.

I contacted Krazcool and asked him if he had a female QD foster fitting for the pump. He said has the part in stock and I had it in a couple of days, very fast shipping, very good customer service.

Since then, I have used it to fill a Crosman 3622 2k psi, super easy. Daystate Regal .22 220 bar, very easy. Used to be hard with my hill pump. Taipan Vet 250 bar was easy, I did have to take a break to avoid heat build up.

All in all I am very impressed with the pump. Will be a great addition to my GTFO kit. I am now looking for a carrying case. The rabbit hole is deep.
 
I had a similar experience with the Huben hand pump and Amazon purchased Foster adapter (psssst) even when I tightened it down with a grunt...almost as if I bottomed out on the threads.

On a whim, I doubled up on the washer and it seem to resolve the problem. Perhaps the adapter was manufactured out of spec or something.

I liked the Huben design as it allowed me to stow it cleanly in the tennis racquet bag along with my Marauder PRod and pineapple CF tank
 
There is not another pump like the Huben hand pump on the market that I can find. The small form factor and high output is awesome.

The Kraz Kool vendor was able to send me the correct male to female foster quick disconnect needed to make the pump universal. Very fast service, I had it in a couple of days. I am searching for a bag / case to store it in.
