These are floor pumps from BLUE LUG stores.
All of them has this Hirame pump head.
I’m sure that we use this hundreds of times a day, and hundreds of thousands times a year.
This is actually an important part of a pump to hold a valve securely.
The original head which comes with a floor pump breaks down within a year when used by shop mechanics.
But, you can use this pump head for a really really long time.
When it comes to the one we use at BLUE LUG Kamiuma store, it’s been more than a decade since we started to use.
I guess the Hatagaya one has been used for much longer than ours.
I believe that you guys can use it until your grandchildren’s generation.
It’s durable and super easy to secure a valve even if you have a weak grip.
So, I do recommend this as a gift for those who rides a bike.
I think everyone has different preference for something functional such as a light and lock, so they might be a little confused when they get them as a gift. But, they don’t tell it.
Pump head is an unsung hero for cyclists, and everyone has a pump, so they can use it in their daily life.
It’s gonna be so useful even if you only have a reasonable floor pump.
I’m sure that this is the best gift for cyclists since they use a floor pump more often than hex wrenches.
If a pump itself is broken, then you can replace this pump head to another one, so you can use it for may years.
Get a horse band as well if you purchase it for the first time!
