CCM Foot Pump

The CCM foot pump is a rather cheap model. The biggest problem it has is its cheap construction the frame of it isn't sturdy enough to withstand pumping on uneven or slanted ground so when you do pump on the terrain the pump has a habit of bending rather then pumping. This leads to some serious problems of course if you want use this  pump while camping or generally outdoors.
Also we found that the connection between the connector and the hose was so shoddy that it actually started leaking after a few uses at 30-40PSI.
This leak wasn't minor flow of air while pumping but rather it was actually draining the air from items we were trying to inflate. That incident finally concluded that the pump was completely useless and we stopped bothering with it.
We did check the new version in stores and found that the overall design was the same but they seem to have swapped the connector out so that may mean the resolved the leak problem. However the bending and lack of stability should still be there as the pump itself did not change.


The leak occurred under the metal crimp of hose to connector.
