Is there such a thing as a hand pump for car tires? >Is there such a thing as a hand pump for car tires? Not specifically, but pumps made for bicycle tires that have schrader valves will work on car tires.  Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.

If you still want a manual pump,I'd recommend a foot pump;they take less effort than a hand pump. auto tires have a large volume,much harder to fill than a bike tire.

Graham >> Is there such a thing as a hand pump for car tires? > > Probably not but you can get a FOOTpump. FOOTpumps... they still make those things? good luck, ones made back in the 80s didn't last very long at all. Anyway, a decent bicycle pump will fill a car tire. I use the regular old hand plunger pump I bought for my bicycle on car tires as well. works well. > And an electric pump that'll > run from the cigar lighter socket. I got annoyed with how slow they are compared to a decent bicycle pump. > FOOTpumps... they still make those things? good luck, ones made back in > the 80s didn't last very long at all. They still make them and they still don't last very long. I carry one in my back pack when riding. Every time the pump goes bad, I buy a new one like it, and return the old one in the same box. >> FOOTpumps... they still make those things? good luck, ones made back in >> the 80s didn't last very long at all. > >They still make them and they still don't last very long.

Why not just spend the $15-20 for a frame mounted pump? $50 for a decent floor pump? >> Is there such a thing as a hand pump for car tires? > > Probably not but you can get a FOOTpump.

I had one once and since the piston only moves like 2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi. Go with the hand pumps where the piston moves around 15 inches.

Never worked worth a damn and finally hit the trash when the foot lever bent laterally. Now a days I have a nice US$200.00 aircompressor that I bought at Home Deopt. Works like a f.cking charm both with the bike and the cars. > I had one once and since the piston only moves like >2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi.

SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net > Odd,I use a foot pump to pump up my bicycle tires,had it for many years. > FAR easier than using a hand pump. Foot pumps seem to be one of those things that work great on paper, but not so much in the real world - I guess you got lucky and got a well-made foot pump, the ones I see in the auto stores (and bike stores) are crap, fall apart in no time (as somebody already stated, on one the foot lever just bent to the side, another just leaked). I shudder to think what Wal*Fart's foot pumps are like (are they pre- broken in the box?) (Not the previous poster, but our good friend SADDAM) >One of my tires has exposed cords and i have to pump it up every week. Can't you get a cheap tire for 35 bucks or so? At least these wouldn't have exposed 'cords'. Or do you have giant earth-mover tires on your Monster Truck? Or, most likely, are you just a blithering idiot living in a weird fantasy world...

I think the foot pumps bend to the side because people do not put pressure on them straight down. I don't recall where I bought this pump.it's made in Taiwan.

Get it fixed or get off the road before you kill someone, you degenerate american (sic). BTW, your buds shrub and bernanke are taking your advice (as seen in the .sig). Why don't you thank them?

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >shudder to think what Wal*Fart's foot pumps are like (are they pre- >broken in the box?) Just going on the basis of the foot pump that I destroyed, they are too narrow so that if you don't direct the force of your foot exactly straight down, the lever either bends or the pump tips over rather violently. That and the metal making up the thing was too thin. The first few times, the pump could be straightened out back to functionality by hand. >(Not the previous poster, but our good friend SADDAM) >>One of my tires has exposed cords and i have to pump it up every week. >Can't you get a cheap tire for 35 bucks or so?
