£45 inc delivery and just not very accurate. I expected better
Smart handy saves using car pump.

Pump is good with ghe added bonus of high pressure setting.
The body and feet are metal with some weight lower down to add stability.
the adapter which houses two types of connect at the same time is bulky. The input valve is very tight so it will need bedding in, so tight spaces between discs and spokes are very hard to get at but should last for years.
Gauge is too wide in its operating range (160psi) and too small at lower ranges (20-60 psi) for more precise reading. The Gauge is also not to be trusted for a reading, So use this pump to overflate the tyre and use a smaller And better gauge to set accurately.
Great pump to have knocking about.
I get fed up of setting up the compressor or queuing up at the petrol station. I do like to have a pump on long journeys, just in case. So not sure it'd be good for travelling with..... hence the 4 stars. But yeah, a good buy. Copes well with my rear tyre Pressure, which most pumps just won't manage.
Well made with metal body. Best pump I have purchased after some that stop working after a short time. Gauge ok but I have a separate accurate one. See how long this lasts.
Does what it says on the tin, but the main reason I bought this is because it had a pressure gauge incorporated and would save me time double checking the pressure. However the gauge is not marked out that accurately i.e. okay if you are inflating to 30 or 40 psi, but anything in between is a bit hit and miss and still requires a seperate check with something more accurate. You probably won't see these on a Moto GP grid.
