Hello mate,
I got one free from a certain 4x4 mag and the pump works quick and well (it's prety quiet too) unfortunately, the first time i used it the seal on the brass valve fitting broke. Upon further insp the reason becomes clear, there's too much clerance between the flimsy silicone 'o' ring and the seating groove thus causing it to blow-out. An easy fix is to push the brass valve forward and wrap insulating tape behind it to keep it there. Poblem solved , easy and cheapo ......

p.s. I called the folks at Tmax and told them what happened , They were only too hapy to replace the offending component...... Coolio ......

I got one with a certain magazine too. I have only used it a couple of times but so far it hasn't caused me any grief. It has been pretty quick - it takes my 31" BFG's from 18psi back to 38 in 3 minutes.

I would like to give props to the company that distribute them here (Aunger) too. When it was delivered it was left on the porch and the dog got into the box and destroyed the air hose, bag, some of the fittings and the little rubber feet. I enquired about how much to replace these parts but they sent them out to me free of charge.
