This pump is as pictured, NOT as the "Product Features" list it. It does not have an Ergo T-handle with kraton padding nor the mounting options mentioned nor the pump peg hole in the handle.
It is a 400 psi pump with unnumbered 10 psi tic marks on the gauge and numbered tic marks every 50 psi (1 Bar increment tic marks included up to 28 bar).
The Product Features list should read as it does on the packaging:
* No air leak valve release system
* Swivel hose and pump head for easy attachment
* Alloy barrel for smooth pumping action
* Easy-Read industrial class gauge rated to 400 psi
* Bleeder Valve for Fine-Tuning pressure
After using this product I would say that it works great; more so for its intended purpose of shock inflation than for tire inflation. It pumps up shocks with very little effort and the bleed valve helps to dial in exactly how much pressure you want. Granted, touching the bleed valve will dump 50 psi in an instant.
Using it on tires with both Presta and Schrader valves is also possible, although inflating a completely flat tire might take a while, since this is a small pump. As mentioned in a previous review, Presta valves can be inflated by removing the "No Leak Valve" from the "Pump Head" and removing the metallic piece from inside, then reassembling the valve to the head.
***Pressure readings below approximately 30 psi are not available.
