Howdy All -
I just wanted to post about a terrific "floor model" balloon pump that I purchased from Clown City in Connecticut USA.
I know this post should really be in sweet & sour but I have not seen any recent posts in the carnival so thought I would put it here:). Forgive me?
Anyway, I have been in the market for a "pro" pump for some time and found this one from friendly Clown City. It is a bit pricey but well within the price range of other floor type pumps. I HIGHLY recommend this pump, it really is worth the money.
It has several advantages over similar looking/operating pumps. The main one being that the base/bottom tube stays put and only the top/inner tube slides out and able to intake more than enough air to inflate a 360 in one shot.
I have been using it for several months now and after a Vacation Bible School, Week of summer camp in Quebec, a Fall Festival and various other outings, this thing is great.
One slight, and I do mean slight, modification I made was swapping out the plastic nozzle at the top with a brass nozzle purchased from Home Depot's plumbing department.
They do not have a carrying bag for it, but I rigged a simple nylon belt for a strap and away I go.
So if your in the market for a pump gives these a serious look.

peace,

Phill,
I used a T Myers pump much like this one years ago...I now use battery pumps (fanny pack) mixed with mouth inflation.
I also offer restaurant table side entertaiment. You will get a great work out from that pump though!
It is a very good pump for line work.

I've been most happy with my T. Myers PUMP 1. It's paid for itself many times over.

I have been using my T. Myers Pump O for at least 5 years. The only thing I have had to do is change out the gasket. It has saved a lot of wear and tear on my lungs

I use the Filbert Pump...light weight, has handles/holders for inflated balloons around it....it's also a place where I velcro and strap on Tipper the Monkey for tips.

I'm not familiar with the Filbert Pump. Where can you find it?
