X-1000 Bike Pump – Unique AerTight Pump Head for Easiest use with Both Presta and Schrader Bicycle Pump Valves – Pressure Gauge – 160 PSI

This is my first bike pump, but from what I can tell it works really well. It's fairly easy to pump my rear tire up to its maximum of 85 PSI and I'd imagine this could pump up to 120 PSI before it becomes difficult to pump. The built-in pressure gauge is also a huge help and one of the major reasons why I chose this pump. It seems accurate enough considering it hasn't caused my tire to pop off the rim with overpressurization with the four times I've used it so far. As for the build quality, it's pretty great. I don't notice any flex in the pump (apart from the hose obviously) and even if you store it in a cluttered garage with things on top of it I'm sure it'd last a while. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the base is a bit small, but it's still big enough to put both feet on so it really isn't that big of a deal. I can confirm that it works on both Presta and Schrader valves. I'll update my review should anything happen to the pump.

This is a great pump that is well built and easy to use. The value is just outstanding when you consider the quality of the pump with its steel housing and large gauge. The best pumps are made by Specialized and this pump compares to their "Air Tool High Pressure" model which makes it easier to pump by using a smaller air flow per pump and that costs three times as much. This Aergun is also better suited for women as it is easier to pump even though it takes more pumps to fill a tire.

The pump performs well. The nozzle attaches easily to my presta valves. Easily inflates tires. My only negative is that the hose could be 12” longer. But I like the inflator overall.

Easy to attach to tire valve (any type), easy to pump. I can only assume the pressure gauge is accurate -- and, it seems to be the case, based upon other reviews. That was one of my main reasons for getting this pump. With my old floor pump ( a cheap one from Walmart or Target or K-mart), I could not pump the tire pressure past 60 lbs on the gauge, even though the gauge went up to 100 lbs. I also knew that the gauge was reading 10 lbs off (but I could never remember if it was reading "high" or "low"). The act of measuring the tire pressure with a separate tire gauge always inevitably released air from the tire, and inevitably left me with an under-inflated tire -- even below the 60 lb reading I could get from the tire pump gauge. So, looking at reviews on the web, and on Amazon, it seemed like the AerGun was the best bet. Another brand seemed to get the top ratings on the web, but there were significant dissensions from this in the Amazon reviews. And, the other brand is $20 more expensive. So, I picked the AerGun. It seems perfectly good to me -- pumps up my tires to 85 PSI with no problem (according to its gauge). The head is a bit larger than other standard pumps, but it did not really interfere with attachment to my tires. In some situations, it is possible that this might be an issue. The air hose is long, making for easy attachment from different positions, etc. There is a marker that you can set on the gauge to mark your goal for tire pressure - convenient. And shipping of the item was very fast.

This pump does everything it should do. It appears to be well constructed. However, be advised that attaching the pump to a valve stem is just the opposite of any other pump I've used. In all the previous pumps I've had, the pump lever needs to be in the "up" position in order to push the pump down onto the stem. Then, when seated properly, the lever is pushed down into a closed position. Not this pump. In order to be the pump on to the valve stem, the lever needs to be in the down position. Once the pump is seated on the valve stem, it's then necessary to raise the pump lever to an open position before inflating the tire. This might seem like something one would easily figure out. It took me about 20 minutes because when the pump with the lever in the up position wouldn't allow me to seat it on the valve stem it seemed as if it was the wrong size to fit the stem. Oh well. Otherwise it works well. Unlike other reviewers it did not strike me as particularly difficult to pump a tire to its proper inflation point.

I think that, once a year, Amazon should let us give a 6 star review, for the best product we have bought all year. This would be my 6 star. Yes, the humble bicycle pump. I could not ask for a better pump, especially at this price. I had another bicycle pump that made me think one or more of the following: 1. I do not know how to use a tire pump. 2. There is something wrong with my tire pump. And/or 3. There is something wrong with my tires. It turns out, it wasn't 1 or 3, because with this new pump, even I can quickly and easily get my tires to the desired pressure. I am a bike computer, not a bike enthusiast. My bike is my work horse, and I don't want to have to know how to do more than absolutely necessary. With my old pump, I felt like I could not get a good connection, and the tire would end up flatter than I started. With this, I simply pop it on, flip up the switch, and pump until I hit my desired PSI. I flip the switch back, and take it off. That is it. No air leakage whatsoever. Pros: Easy to read Easy to pump Easy to put on and take off Handy clip to keep the hose off if the ground It works with both types of tires It's quick Cons: It's not a particularly attractive shade of green? Yeah, I've got nothing. Summary: It quickly and easily fills my bicycle tires with the desired amount of air. Which is exactly hat I need it to do.

Works great for my bikes with both types of valves and having a built in gauge is definitely worth the price!
