I ordered a new pump from McPump, I think it's the mini mac light but will check. First thoughts are it's taller than Mr Filbert so may be better for me as I'm on the tall side, a lot heavier and sturdy and the strap is a bonus for when getting about with it.
Will take a picture later and post

How does it compare pumping air wise with the Filbert?
How tall is it?

Does it come in different colours?


thanks

How about a review Graham I want to get a backup encase I brake my filbert. A while ago I dropped something heavy on it and cracked part of it, I had to get a replacement part from the states (I was lost without a big pump) The thing for me about the mcpump, is the lack of somewhere round the top to put balloons I use this on the Filbert all the time.
When it comes to the day I arive at the pearly gates I hope to slide in sideways saying to st Peter WOW!!! what a ride.

The Macpump is about two inches taller and I've been using it at home and it's fine, no problems.
I'm working in a shopping centre next week so will take it with me and use it all day, this will give me a better idea between the two and I'll review it then. The brass nozzle at the top has more defined ridges on which is to help keep the balloon attached to the pump better while inflating and it has a non return vavle for easier use as well.

I am looking to stock these and sell them in the UK for Andrew.

It was excellent, no problems at all. Will be getting some in stock as soon as the planes start flying again.

They are flying but it will take about 14 days for everything to get back to normal. I will get them ASAP.

Mine have been mis-placed in the post, they were sent early November and we have been told they tried to deliver them on the 29th Nov but no card and we were about,
since then no news. Fingers crossed they are found.
