It just took me about 45 minutes to inflate one tire. I took this shitty pump from my parents house a while back. As far back as I can remember they've owned it. Now I do. Some background: the label says "K-Mart Corporation 1985". I think it's safe to assume this thing was relatively shitty when it was purchased. Time has not helped this. The plunger inside is old and soft and doesn't form a tight seal. The shitty fucking result of this is that when you push the handle down it's about a 50/50 shot of you pushing any air into the tire or just pushing against nothing and almost falling over. All the while air is leaking out of the tire because of the crappy connection the old pump makes with the tire valve. Fuck that infuriating thing.
