GX hand pump

I don’t mind hand pumping smaller air tanks. Once I get up to 2500 psi then it gets to be too Much work.I just bought an air compressor myself not long ago. But I’ll still use my hand pump every now and then just to try to keep in shape. I’m retired now so I can use the exercise sometimes.

One of the long timers wrote, sorry I can't recall who, pump 40 times, let pump cool (15min), pump 40 more, let pump cool (15 min), pump 40 more, repeat till done. Saves seals on pump and gives a great workout. I don't bleed pump until job is done, just rest pump somewhere safe as handle usually extends out. Takes a little longer, but works good for me.

Wow I knew there had to be a secret recipe thanks for the info I had already set that pump in the back of the garage never to be dug out again

I usually fill magazines between pumping. I'd love to get a compressor but I've held off after reading so many horror stories of stuff breaking.

Yeah you right, all I use is my hand pump now and it's easy, but that video was my first time using the hand pump and I was in shape so when I got all out if breath and start sweating profusely I just couldn't imagine anybody older or more out of shape than me using the handpump never thought I'd get used to it but I did and it's not bad at all.
