This product is made totally of plastic and does not fill tires unless it is fitted absolutely perfect. I have yet to be able to fill a tire up without having all of the air leak out of the tire. Then, it takes another five minutes to get it to line up properly. Don't even bother!!

As reviewers have stated before me, invest more money in a better quality brand pump. As for me I have bought two different types of Bell Pumps and one didn't work at all. This pump didn't even last 1 day. After pumping up my front bike tire it shut down totally. I could not get it to pump air into any thing else. I will never buy any Bell Bike Pumps again, I suggest you save yourself some time and frustration and buy a better and different brand.

Within a year the cheap rubber hose cracked and broke at the nozzle. My original impression that Bell equaled quality has dropped several notches.

I bought this pump a couple of years ago at Walmart. It has been a really good pump. One of the deciding factors in buying the pump was that it was made so you could easily replace the rubber hose on it. As with all rubber hoses they eventually get dry rot and crack. I went to get a replacement hose for it at Walmart. They do not carry any in stock with the bicycle accessories. I tried the hardware stores and they did not have any hoses that fit correctly either. I then went to the internet searching for a replacement hose. I have yet to find any, even on Bell's website. This is disappointing because it would be an easy fix.

This pump is a complete waste of money. This model could barely inflate a basketball. I replaced it with the same brand but a different model which failed outright by bursting where the hose attaches to the base. The 1800 isn't worth the cost of the material it is made from.

save your money/the hose got broken in just 4 0r 6 times...this pump is made with plastic is pretty bad,,pay a little more and maybe got something much better

This pump filled my tires once... the rubber cracked and the air leaks out of the tube.

What a disappointment!

the little plastic thing inside the end piece that you clip on the valve floats around and does not push in the little valve plunger-- so pump doesnt work--someone at bell should be ashamed

My experience with this pump is down there with the worst of them. The hose cracked after a very short time. The valve inside the pump was not reliable from the beginning, and on the odd occasion that the pump did work, it was not easy to make a solid connection to the tire stem. Bell products, these days, are quite variable in quality. Some Bell stuff is good, other stuff isn't worth it at all.

Inexpensive, doesn't rust.
Doesn't work... often. Wondering what could be the matter I opened the top and withdrew the piston and seal. Two things: the seal unit had come loose (held between two thread stops. Re-tightening the stops corrected the wobbling seal unit but did not bring the pump to a useable condition. Second fault: the seal itself barely meets the bore. So sometimes it compresses air, other times it leaks past the "seal".
