Large Dual Action Hand Pump by Coleman Review

This article is a godsend. I used it to inflate both the air mattress and my 4 person raft. I can fill a raft in less than 1/3 the time it took me with the electric motor that replaced this pump. Get a simple workout by padding things. It's a little unwieldy, but physics say it has to be for this kind of performance. However, I can put it in my backpack and take it anywhere. However, I had to purchase an adapter for my raft as none of the nozzles that came with this pump fitted it exactly. So…

I bought this pump for all the pool accessories. I have a large floating chair with cup holders that can fill up in an hour if I try to mouth it. So I bought this pump to get there in minutes. Dual-action means that air is always pumped when you pull it up or push it down. Now that might seem like a great way to reduce the amount of work involved. However, I found it a bit difficult. I didn't expect every bump to be as strong as every bump. Let's just say being out of shape didn't help! I was…

The pump is well made and definitely does the job, but you need to do something. My hands shook a little after filling a large air mattress with it. I really appreciate being able to get this to work for my aerobed as I really didn't want an electric or battery powered pump. But I had to modify it to work with the aerobed valve. I received the hose with a decent seal after following another reviewer's suggestion of using a canister around the valve and hose. I am annoyed that there was no hose…

I recently ordered a Coleman mattress that came with a (pretty useless) 4D battery powered pump. This battery pump barely inflated the mattress with a fresh set of batteries and was COMPLETELY UNABLE to inflate the air mattress to the REALLY FIRM level which I prefer. So I bought this COLEMAN LARGE DUAL ACTION hand pump and by and large that means it's big and powerful. First, it's about 12 inches tall and three times thicker than a bicycle pump. Second, it completely mastered the air…

I purchased this with a double height Coleman Queen mattress. The pump doesn't appear to be the highest quality plastic, but I can't determine durability based on this subjective observation. Took me about 10 minutes to inflate the mattress which is large so it's definitely good exercise. It's not the ultra-quiet alternative to an electronic pump as you might think. I assume it works well on smaller mattresses. The pump is bigger than I expected. But I think that's to be expected given the…

I know that in today's world of portable electronics and even portable power supplies it's easy to just buy an AC powered battery or pump, but let me tell you, I've found this thing on a lot of hikes saved a lot of trouble. This is the most powerful hand pump I have ever used. Nozzles for connection to various types of valves are fixed at the end of the outlet pipe so that they do not get lost and can be quickly replaced. Of course, this thing is great for when you're camping and running low on

Just before the trip I broke a durable double pump and have been desperate for a replacement pump. I was hoping I would get lucky and find one that would work as well as the old broken pump we replaced. What I got was a pump that was better in almost every way. It definitely moves a lot more air and I can regularly beat a portable battery pump with it as others have said. From air mattresses to pool toys, this pump has become my number one choice. It can also (almost as quickly) bleed the air…

I bought this for an Aerobed Endura mattress that seems to need a little extra air every few days. (The mattress battery pump lost power.) Coleman - Great value - moves a lot of air. Mine has the inflation outlet on the piston, not the base of the pump, so the outlet moves when pumping - it's a bit annoying, and if you're not careful the pumping action can stress the tube or valve of the inflatable. Tip if the attachments don't fit: Unfortunately, none of the attachments supplied fit. patented…

I used it to inflate a mattress while camping. I didn't want anything that relied on electricity or batteries. It was pretty efficient. There are two options for the pump depending on where you place the hose that connects to the air mattress. It can inflate or help deflate. That's convenient. The scope of delivery includes four attachments for different hole sizes for different air mattresses. The adjustment for my air mattress (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JH1INQ/ref=oh_details_o06_s00…
