When Buying or replacing a Hand Held Pump....

[Ruggedlandsc@per]

I was doing some investigation, when I noticed, on Amazon, and other personal Sex Shops online, and around where I live, and down in the Toronto Area, They had these pumps, on for like $100.00 to 125.00 What a huge mark up, for a Sexy Toy. as a Car tool repair, ( Brake Bleeder for Hydraulic Brakes) You can purchase a pump, the same kind mind you, for $19.99.

I guess if its a sex toy, you can hi jack the price to w.e you want... but as a car repair item....

I highly start suggesting ppl that if you do like these hand held pumps.. and the best thing about it, there are other attachments, so that if you literially wanted to having a pumping buddy, 1 person could pump for two!!!

Don't buy by themselves.. buy the whole kit. You'll be glad you saved yourself $90.00 well mine was in Canadian Dollars, and I'm glad I did my homework! Saved myself alot of money!

Yep, I always buy replacement vacuum pumps from ebay for about AU$25.

Harbor Freight has a great hand pump kit in the $20-30 range.

Yeah my pump handle broke off

I bought a mityvac replacement off amazon.

Same type that came with my “kit” when i originally bought it.


The one thing I keep meaning to research is a replacement hose. I think I know the right measurements, but I just never got back to doing it.

The tubing is ¼ inside diameter. Lowes has clear vinyl tubing in that size for under $10 for 20 feet. That’s the tubing that pumps usually come with. Some hardware stores sell it by the foot. You have to ask where this is located in Lowe’s or anywhere else. They all seem to hide it where you’ll probably never find it on your own.

A very nice upgrade is silicone tubing, as recommended by thboy, here in this forum. It’s more “tame” than vinyl hose. Vinyl gets curves in it and won’t lay flat. Vinyl also sometimes stretches out and gets loose where it attaches to the fittings. Silicone seems to stay tightly sealed on the fittings. Amazon has Baomain brand silicone tubing, 6mm (¼ inch), 9.8 foot, 3M, for under $15.
