Re: Retract

are you asking if so its easy , take the tip used to fill sports ball like footballs , soak it in warm soapy water then push standard retract tube over it then add your retract refill tip on to the other end , you then can use it with a hand or electric tire pump , fill to 100psi

Bought this pump last year and set it up as Crass describes. Fills a large retract bottle in about 15-20 strokes to 100 psi. ,the built in gauge works great. I'll never go back to the Robart pumps again.

Re: Retract

Hi

Bought an electric pump from CT, added a 3 cell lipo and switch.
It's been working great for a few years now.

Re: Retract

I still use a pump similar to this that I bought at the Pickering Flea market maybe 15-17 YEARS ago! I just sit it on the ground and use my hands to pump it up and down. Best $10 bucks I ever spent! It's just now finally start to fall apart!
