I think I really need to invest in a filbert pump.
I did 7 hours twisting yesterday and ended up with blisters all over my hand from my dual action pump.
When I google 'filbert pump' and limit the searches to UK sites only it comes up with a post on ballon chat of someone selling one for £50 but it was 2011 so I reckon it might be sold by now (just a sneaking suspicion) so I thought I'd ask if anyone would be willing to sell me one since the postage from the US is ridiculous?

We have the McPump in stock which is 2" taller, don't forget to log in to see the wholesale price.

I use the Mac Pump from Graham, and it is robust, easy to use, and has made my ballooning so much easier.

I too have mac pump. Money very well spent. I hear the Filbert pumps plastic is a little fragile.

I have the mac pump too and at the time remember thinking it was a big investment as I hadn't been twisting long but was best money spent

I have an electric floor pump which I bought from Graham a few years back, and it's the biggest load of rubbish i ever paid out for..! I wish i had bought a filbert or a mac pump...!

I now use a dual action pump, it's more work for me, but it gets the job done and there is no worry of the battery running out after you blow up about 25 balloons(no matter if the battery is new or not).

Anyway yes! go with the mac pump

I'll chime in and say I love my mac pump as well!  Worth every cent!
