Franklin Ball Maintenance Kit: Pump,

The son has been asking for a small lightweight ball pump to use to pump up his basketball and the Franklin Sport Ball Pump worked perfectly for what he asked for. The ball pump was easy to use, the needles are durable and didn’t break in the ball, and the whole unit was easy enough for my elementary kid to handle on his own without my help. The kit came with a pressure gauge as well, but we found that it wasn’t particularly easy to use - the gauge with the numbers didn’t pop out easily and I suspect it’s not quite accurate. That said, we didn’t care about the gauge as much as the pump and we found the pump worked great so there isn’t any complaint. Everything fits conveniently in a small carrying bag and the pump is lightweight enough for the kid to throw in his backpack and take on the go. Overall, if you’re looking for a small lightweight ball pump, this is a good one to consider.

Works like a pump should

This is a completely effective, very cheap pump. It's lightweight, easy to use, and it comes with a hose attachment and a total of three needles (inflating, gauge, and deflating). It IS cheap material, but you should already expect that when it's $9. It also is completely functional without any noticeable flaws. There is a bit of air leakage, but I had no issues getting volleyballs up to 4.5PSI. The pressure gauge is the issue. It is also functional, and it actually comes in both metric and English units: PSI comes in increments of 0.5 and bar/kg comes in increments of 0.1. The issue is it's a nightmare to read. Admittedly, I used it to get about 4.5 PSI, but I actually had to use the bar measurements and convert it to get any semblance of readability. There are two notches on the PSI measurements, one of which makes it look suspiciously like it comes in increments of 0.1PSI, and I can't figure out which is the zero. Also, the measurements aren't perfect. Not sure if one is just zeroed wrong, but using the bar measurements, a reading of 0.3 bar (which should be just a smidge under 4.5PSI) read at what I believe is closer to 4.3PSI (or 4.8PSI as, again, I can't figure out the zero). It's not that far, but it is a difference. To add to that, the actual pressure reading of it is doubtful at best. There seems to be a good amount of internal friction in the gauge, which would suggest a lower reading than actual value. This could be compensated for, but it's a $9 pump and gauge, and I don't really have high expectations.

I'm a youth athletics coach in multiple sports (soccer, football, basketball, baseball, softball, lacrosse and volleyball). I've got 3 kids and they all love their sports. That said, this is my second time around purchasing this set because I lost my first pump. I've inflated hundreds of balls of all types using this set, and I love that this set comes with a pressure gauge. Just in case some idiot coach tries to argue a ball is too soft or hard, pull out the gauge and most referees tell the other guy to pipe down--especially since regulation pressure is on most balls by the hole these days. Anyway, this little pump is almost entirely perfect with one noticeable drawback with time: you will need to exert some effort AND control when pumping. With time, the pumping handle comes a bit loose, requiring you to maintain a "straight" pumping motion, or you may end up breaking the handle off. For me, not a big deal, I just pay attention and pump in a straight motion and it works great. For guys like me that coach youth teams: at the start of the season when all the kids balls need to be pumped at once, this thing will get hot to the touch as you get past the 5th or 6th ball, so be ready for that. Also, I recommend you keep a small vial of Vaseline nearby to keep needles moist, or you will kill your balls in one season. There's a small storage compartment built into the handle so you can keep a spare needle, just in case a kid happens to bend it when you're not looking. Final note: as you pump, pressure does increase to the point that an adult will exert effort and a kid may not be able to get their ball up to full inflation, so be ready for that too. This thing lasts a really long time-- my first one was with me 6 years and still going strong before it disappeared.

Good pump to have around for some of the kids things such as blow up balls. Works great for my speed bags

Filled my ⚽

Bien

Works ok. Smaller then I expected

Did the job and came with everything I needed.

Vraiment pratique pour gonfler tous les ballons sports. Très facile d'utilisation. Très bon achat.

This is simply unbelievable! Arrived after 4days, but as per description, to arrive on or before 13th July,. So wow!!!! Super extremely fast delivery. And the product?! Super wow. Fast in pumping air to my basketball, due to the pressure monitor with it, i was able to put the best PSI (8) for my all court ball.😁

Pour moi la pompe est pratique est pratique

Does the job as described
