I've been looking for a pump with a gauge on it for a long time.
With this pump, I no longer have to guess how much air is in
the ball. Now I can tell exactly how much air is in the ball
before and after I pump it up.

I coach both of my son's basketball teams and use a pump several times a week. When I got this one, I REALLY liked it. The gauge was accurate and made it easy to properly fill the balls to the correct level. However, after less than a year, the pressure gauge part started coming off (it uses friction to stay together) and it got increasingly difficult to use without it coming apart. I tried gluing it with several different adhesives, but could not get it to stay together for more than a few uses. Also note that the picture shows an inflation hose. Mine did not come with that and thus it was a little tricky inflating balls without breaking a needle. I would NOT let my kids use the pump for this reason. It's a shame because I really did like it when it was new.

1.0 out of 5 stars picture is misleading - there is no hose!, February 1, 2009

I had the version of this pump without the gauge and wasn't happy with it because it didn't have a hose - you attach the needle directly to the pump shaft.
This is a problem because you have to be very careful when pumping your ball or else your needle will bend - you must keep the pump shaft straight and steady.

Because of this issue, I bought a new pump. I saw this version of the power pump on amazon and it was a little more expensive but the picture showed a hose, so I bought it. Big mistake. No hose, and it's still annoying to pump balls with. I'm returning it.
