alsmith said:I've just come across one that takes AA batteries. More expensive but you can get those batteries most places (apart from on the trail!) but I guess rechargeables would be good, NiMH possibly better than alkaline. I'm not so sure about the AA size, possibly a bit small, so it's one of those reviews first things for me. It is a really small unit though so definitely worth consideration.

Why bother when a 48-60V is so cheap?

No reason. Didn't know you could get small cheap ones that took those voltages. I'm fine pumping by hand, but if I were to carry a compressor, I'd definitely want to avoid also carrying special batteries for it - even if only two AAs, That's my main point.

This is the one I'm in love with. NOT cheap, but at the black Friday sale it can be. Useless of course, if you don't already have the Ryobi drill, and have the battery and charger.
A bit bulky to carry, but when you know you are heading out with a leaker, and need to keep pumping despite the slime, it sure beats a tiny hand pump. Easier to carry than a large hand pump, but it still fills a pannier or rack bag, so not that convenient in size.
CO2 rig for small size and ease.
