Pump 1 shown above 

What started as the finest one-stroke manual pump for long, skinny balloons has become the symbol of the serious professional - "The Rolls Royce of Balloon Pumps." It has been continually improved and refined. PUMP 1 is a professional tool that will pay for itself in one day's work, increase your marketability, and make ballooning more fun for you and your customer. Do yourself a favor and step up to PUMP 1.

  PUMP 1 weighs fourteen and one-half pounds and stands 32" high. It is made of white PVC plastic with a black base and handle.  The cylinders lock together for easy transport and comes with a squeeze bottle of lubricant, a nozzle wrench and instructions.

	with PumpO	- #2033K -	Quantity:
	PUMPO is made of "laminated wood fiber." That's techno-speak for very heavy duty cardboard. This special tubing is wound just for us. It's strong. T can lay the pump on its side and stand on its middle. One Stroke fills a 260 completely.  The PUMPO is as efficient as the PUMP 1. The valve and gasket assembly are made with PVC parts like the Pump 1.  The base is a solid piece of plastic. It does not break.  PUMPO has a padded vinyl hand cushion on top, a removable plastic base and a gloss white surface. It's 32" tall and weighs less than 6 pounds. It comes with a bottle of lubricant and instructions Top of Page
