Michelin Single Barrel Footpump

The cheap plastic valve adaptor came off the hose the first time it was used. The pump looks flashy at first sight and you would hope that with a well known name behind it that it would be good, but that does not seem to be the case. Poorly made and badly designed.

first impressions were good,then after little use the barrel split at the weld rendering pump useless.

Did not last very long. The gauge is no longer working only after 6 months.

Michelin Single Barrel Footpump Pressure gauge is clear and accurate. Poor design - does NOT inflate to 100 PSi. With ALL my 75Kg body weight on it I can only manage around 55PSi ! Poor quality material - The 1st one did not work at all. The 2nd one(exchanged) the threadwas faulty and the pipe came loose from the housing because it is cheap plastic.The 3rd one is still working, plastic bits that hold pump closed when not in use have broken and there are signs (and sounds) of premature wear. Michelin do make some good tyres but this pump is simply not fit for the purpose, especially if you have a Van or 4x4.

The tyre inflates quickly with the Michelin foot pump. The pressure gauge is reliable. The connection valve works every time with no leaks to reduce the value of your efforts.

At last, a foot pump that inflates the tyre in a reasonable number of strokes. The pressure gauge seems to be reasonably reliable as well. It even manages to inflate those strange skinny spare-tyres to over 80 psi without too much struggle.
