QualatexHand Held Air Inflator - Double Action Balloon Pump

Became a professional clown in the middle 90's and one of many requirements were to attend seminars to learn how blow up and sculpt balloons. This balloon pump is perfect! No matter how small the opening is, the tip of the pump will fit. I have my "ancient" old pump and it's well worn. So, I decided to purchase three of these. I am happy with the results and blown up 267 balloons already!

I've bought many balloon pumps (at least 4 others) in my time doing balloon animals, but this is by far the best. Other pumps break quickly, are cheap plastic, inflate slowly, or always require two hands to inflate a balloon. I have used many other brands of both pumps and balloons, and none are better than Qualatex. Spend a little more money and get this quality product!I have a custom balloon apron for my supplies when I walk around, and I never have to remove this pump from my apron due to the one hand operation. However, when I do use two hands, I can quickly put this pump under my arm and the large base makes it easy to hold until I need it again. This pump also speeds up the time it takes to inflate 2" twisty balloons, meaning you can make balloons faster when crowds are large. I received the exact color shown in this picture.PROS:- one hand operation- inflates in "both" directions - air enters the balloon when moving pump both out and in- plastic, so sturdy construction but lightweight to carry around for many hours- grips on handle are ergonomic and prevent slippageCONS:- is not as slim as some balloon pumps, but the quality and speed of inflation completely nullified this issue for me- some sellers ship random colored pumps (other than what is pictured) to you - NOTE: I received the exact color pictured in this listing!

Blows up balloons well

The media could not be loaded. I have worked with balloons for the last 10+ years, and this is the best balloon hand pump. It is easy to use, durable, and a good value for the money. I have bought several over the course of my career and have never had one break. I have however lost them, or my kids have run off with them.

Fue un regalo 🎁 y me dicen que fue justo como querían así que estoy fascinada

It takes very little effort to fill a balloon. It’s comfortable to hold in the hand and only takes three or four pumps to fill a 260 balloon.

I used to make balloon animals years ago and decided to give it another try recently. I purchased this pump and I love it. It makes balloons super easy to fill. I really like that it's double action so it even pumps while you pull the tip away from the main air chamber. The only one thing I would knock it on is that it's tough to get 160q balloons on. The tip is a bit too small. You can get them on, but it's not easy. Works great with standard 260q's.

This is the 3rd one I've bought to make some 260 balloon dogs. Finally, one that actually works! I've found it is faster if you attach the balloon when it's open and then pump away!
