Review on ACACIA Mini Bike Pump: Compact 130 PSI Pump with ๐Ÿšฒ Pressure Gauge for Presta and Schrader Valve - 12.2 Inch Size by Tim Nicholas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Manufactured by non-cyclists for the budget market

DON'T BUY THIS -- the pump might be good on its own, but how do you know? The crappy pieces of plastic covering the Presta and Shrader jets (separately - really?) make using these jets a dead deal - CAN'T USE THIS PUMP - SEE PICTURES - The plastic "guard" cones CAN CANNOT BE REMOVED - but the pump is unusable until you remove the plastic parts. I tried a box cutter, a saw and finally a pair of pliers which broke the nozzle --- THE PLASTIC CONES WILL NOT ENTER THE PUMP AIR HOSE OR THE SHREDDER OR THE PRESTA VALVES --- PLEASE SEE MY ATTEMPTS IN THE PHOTOS TO RELEASE OR REMOVE these ridiculous details . IS POSSIBLE as a pump with gauge, but this pump is totally unusable as the plastic "sleeves" render the nozzles at both ends inoperative AND THEREFORE THE PUMP IS UNUSABLE. UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT OPEN THIS PACKAGE AFTER 30 DAYS SO I CANNOT GET A REFUND AND THIS IS A TOTAL LOSS. OUT -----------------------

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
