Inflation time: 13 seconds on a 26 inch 2.3 tyre to 26 psi
Buy Pumps onWith it’s polished aluminum barrel and silver braded hose the BBB Air Blaster looks as much like a track pump as it does a piece of art. The large pressure gauge at the base of the pump adds to the feeling of luxury, with styling reminiscent of a sports car from a bygone era. Luckily this isn’t a case of style over substance, as the Air Blaster performs as well as it looks. The high volume air barrel and intelligent valve head will have your tyres pumped up in no time. We especially liked the easy to read gauge and while it wasn’t the fastest pump it certainly wasn’t a slouch!
Verdict
Don’t let the marginally slower inflation time put you off, add a touch of class to your home workshop with the BBB Air Blaster.
