This pump kit has been a game-changer for our household! It's incredibly compact, fitting easily into our sports bag, and comes with everything needed to inflate basketballs, soccer balls, and more. The included pressure gauge ensures accurate inflation, and the flexible hose makes it simple to use without straining. Even my kids can handle it with ease. The sturdy construction and included carrying case add to its convenience. Highly recommend this kit for anyone needing a reliable and portable ball pump!​

Does it’s job, moisten needle.

Nice pump

Pretty good and nice to use. I was able to inflate my new volleyball without much difficulty. Comes with a pouch, pumper, pressure gauge, and 4 needles (one is in a compartment inside the pumper—there should be a sticker telling you it) Wish it came with an instruction manual though; I watched a YouTube Tutorial on how to use it. Overall, good purchase! Be sure to wet the needle before inserting it 😄

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.

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.

This is one of those products that you never really need until you really need it! I was hoping to throw the footbal around with my nephew but as luck would have it BOTH of the footballs I owned were flat. Luckily we found another way to amuse ourselves for that day but ordered this and now every football, basketball and soccer ball are filled with air and ready to go. Product came super fast and was just as advertised. Pump works great and the needles are hefty enough that they won't break off. Would definitely recommend!

This was fine while it lasted, but broke after a month.
