    Well...

    I bought one at Wal-Mart when I was traveling because it was easier than
    shipping my pump to Texas. It worked "pretty well" the first time to 100
    PSI. The hose and head worked fine, the piston rings held without leaks and
    there was enough stroke to get to 100 PSI given the volume of air in the
    hose and the cylinder head (note: it would not go to 101 PSI). Eye, there
    was a rub though: the frame that holds the pump and the pedal in alignment
    is NOT designed to withstand the force required to reach 100 PSI given the
    large diameter piston they use. The thing started folding over easier and
    easier with each successive use. After while I gave up and sent for my 20
    year old Serfas pump from home. After 8 months in Plano I came home but the
    ""100 PSI" pump stayed behind.

    I'm convinced that the entirety of Walmart's (Woolmort) bicycle section is
    composed exclusively of plastic and stamped sheet metal from recycled 60's
    Cadillacs.

    no bush's head.
    many many moons ago, light was made of the chinese army massed on the
    mexican border
    but picking up the expletive deleted pump-another Bush ninnitiative-I
    knew deep in my heart the army's bivouaced in Peoria and Terra Haute.
    butthenagain, im seriuosly morphed using the road pump at the shop. Not
    the excercise mind you but the repitititititive nature of this
    excercise when i really should be kleening the deray.
    forgive me evinrude it's $10.
    at $10 every cyclist in amerca will own one before aw-gust
    brilliant strategy brilliant. world inflation!
