Hey guys! I am actually asking for a friend-of-a-friend in this case (I already bought all my pump gear well over 20 years ago.)
Where can a newbie buy decent pump equipment online? I know Pumptoys and LAPumpworks both still have online stores, but I'm looking for more options to recommend.
Cheers,
Russ.

I tried to reply but I kept getting that stupid error message. I’ll try later.

I'm contacting the administrator. I have NO idea what's going on.

Here's the tubing and the fitting. The fitting connects to the one on top of the cylinder. All of these fittings are standard and can be used with any brand cylinders that have this type of quick-fit fitting. The hose slides onto the pump.

This one is the most durable hand pump I’ve had. ALL of the plastic ones I've had have broken. This hand pump is also very reasonably priced and it includes a gauge. Just slide the tubing onto the hand pump. You don’t need any hose clamps.

About cylinders:
After some EXTENSIVE trial and error, I finally figured out that the forum software apparently doesn't like the words in the link to the cylinders I use. Apparently, even though they're not in any way dirty, they're too "grown up." Although I'm sure that our administrator doesn't add words that are banned, the default setting for the forum software probably does contain a list of banned words. GRRRRRRRR!!! In order to get around that, the link is shown as a graphic. Type the text in the graphic into your browser.
Although this will work on a mobile phone, typing the text in the graphic would be a major pain the rear. It's much easier on a laptop or desktop computer.
