Dual Action Hand Pump
With its dual action engineering that pushes air on both the up and down strokes, the Fitness Factor Small Dual Action Ball Pump inflates balls twice as fast. No air or effort is wasted as it pumps air into your ball both when you push and pull the handle. The pump is easy to use as it only takes a few quick pushes and pulls to pump up your ball. Designers have achieved this effect by sealing the piston of the dual action ball pump in the cylinder at both ends. The pump has two pairs of check valves: one below the piston and one above. Consequently, when the piston is pulled up, air is admitted to one side of the piston and expelled on the other side. When the piston moves down, the valves switch to the opposite positions, admitting air above the piston and expelling it from below.
This innovative design makes pumping smooth and easy so that your arms won’t be too tired from inflating your balls. Thus, it saves your time and energy. The Fitness Factor Small Dual Action Ball Pump is very efficient compared to standard pumps as it maintains a compact body while still packing a big punch of air.
Ergonomic Design
The Fitness Factor Small Dual Action Ball Pump features an ergonomic design for added comfort and ease of use. It comes with a textured, soft, rubber handle that fits comfortably in your hand for an intuitive grip. The pump is also compact and portable. It measures 8.5 inches long without the needle and 9.5 inches long with the needle which makes it easy to fit in your gym bag, glove compartment or even in your pocket. This hand pump also comes with one needle already installed and two additional needles as spares when you lose or break one. Also included is a soft rubber cap to protect the needle so that you can put it in your bag and take it anywhere without worry.
