Has anyone ever used this pump before?

Any recommendation for a 12v pump that can inflate towables fast. Heck, if it can inflated car tires...great!

I have a non-name-brand pump of similar design and price range I bought at walmart for inflating air mattresses, and discovered that it fills a large towable way faster than the air compressors at service stations. I say go for it!

I have the inflator in the link below. It came with my boat. It filled a regular old raft (like you use in a pool) in aout 3 minutes with the connector for the raft. I have not tried it with a tube since I do not own one but it took care of the raft with no problem. It is 12v and I just plug it into the 12v outlet at the helm.

I bought the Coleman 12v rechargeable (got it at Dicks sporting goods, a self contained and very easy to stow unit) Blows up my kids inflatables in no time. Only complaint I have with it is that it needs a little longer fitting that is used to insert into the fill valve of the inflatable. Battery last a long time, can be used to deflate also.Not to bad for the $25 or so I paid for it.

I bought the same package as mrfixit, and it does work great. Tube was good quality, and the pump blows it up in minutes. I have an air compressor at home, and the air pump fills better than the compressor because of its design. Also allows us to bring the tube along in the boat until we are ready to use it. Takes up so much room otherwise. Get the 12 V model, not the 120 V plug-in for home.
