BlackburnCore 3 Floor Pump(Return to Product Page)

I really like the large pressure guage --- very easy to read. Fairly easy to pump to 140psi for time trial tires. The one negative is using the lock lever when attaching/detaching from tube valve since it is accessed on the opposite side of the tire and I have to put my hand between tire spokes.

It attaches very well, and I appreciate that the dial is larger and more easily visible to my aging eyes. Disconnecting, however, is a bit awkward with the placement of the "bleed" valve and angle of release. I've received a few sharp wraps from the lever!

High quality construction, tall pump, gauge is easy to read. But... the valve is difficult to use, and is configured differently than most typical floor pump valves.

Pretty good floor pump. I like the look and design of the pump. I think the larger barrel helps.

I'm not completely sold on the core 3 pump head. I wish I didn't need to unscrew and flip it around for the different valve type. And I really really wish the inline bleed button was on the opposite side of the AirTap head. It gets in the way if I want to remove the head with one hand.

This pump was junk right out of the package. No air output at all.

This pump wouldn't blow up a balloon out of the packaging. Very disappointing for Blackburn quality to slip so low.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do and replaced a more expensive model from another brand that honked like a goose. Head seals well and won't unscrew valve extenders or cores. Stable base, long hose, easy to read gauge. It's not an Italian work of art, but it looks pretty good and the quality is great for the price.

The pump was good at first but soon lost its seal and I had to return it.
