Now maybe I can build this electric hand pump!

 

[ztirffritz]

Too slow. It's sold out.

Got one, backup in case fill tank runs low.

 

[ztirffritz]

I bought one too. I wanted the microbore hose to use with my air tank. It will serve as a backup for my Benji pump too.

Thank you for posting this deal, I would have missed it otherwise. Points to you!

My pump came today. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it's all there.

What's all there?? What comes with it? Mines arrived tomorrow.

A pump and a couple rebuild kits. Pretty straightforward. If it works, it's a heck of a deal.

 I think the price is about right ( for all hand pumps) as they certainly aren't new tech. , the first hill came out in 1998 or so and there isn't a whole lot to them.
I have a slightly different model "Chinese" (???) hand pump that works well and came with l;ot's of O-rings, wrench,dead head for hose, will max the guage out ( just filling the line) and the Japanese made gauge seems very accrete, hose is reinforced also included a huge bottle of 20wt sillycone oil.




If you cruse that Chinese site they also have an elect pump for $199.00 + $79.shipping. I believe it would NEED work ( as the $1,000ish unit one dealer sells does) but if a person understood them well, had some tooling & such "might" make a good unit?

It should be possible to purchase a decent hand pump from some US dealer for say $100.00, maybe one day.

edit to add another great feature ALL manufacturer's should consider:

Received my Barska pump today and promptly tested it by topping off my Vulcan from 210 to 250 BAR. I'm not going to sugar coat it, there was some effort involved requiring me to get my weight into the final stroke of the pump. It took less than 5 minutes to top off the Vulcan. So, I think it was worth it! I have a 4500 psi tank, but knowing that I can pump up the Vulcan if I run low on air is a great peace of mind.

I pumped up my 90in^3 air tank with the pump today. By golly, it did make it to 4500psi...but I almost didn't. From 4250 to 4500 it was a struggle. I had to wrestle it down with all 220lbs of my weight. I was coated in sweat by the time I was done. 

 

[DuncanHynes]

YOU pumped a 4500 tank to max??

 

[fe7565]

"DuncanHynes"YOU pumped a 4500 tank to max??

When I took my 4500psi SCBA for hyrdo test and fill-up I got it back with 4500psi in it. The guy who owned the shop been in business for 30 years. I am sure he tested it at least 10% over 4500psi and I am pretty sure they are designed for at least 6000psi burst.

 

[ztirffritz]

It was already at about 3800psi, so it wasn't like I pumped from 0 to 4500, but even the little bit I did was a chore.

Where was I when this deal went down. I sure could of used one as I am a new air gunner

 

[ztirffritz]

I try to post stuff like this as often as possible. There are a few deal-a-day sites that sometimes have airgun stuff, but it's rare. I don't get to hunt as often as I'd like so I hunt for deals on the net. Watch the formum and you'll see stuff pop up now and then.
