It seems to work pretty good for a cheap pump. We leave it hidden at the camp and figure if anybody steals it we won't be out of to much money. Speaking of stealing guns a PSA announcement, I have every one of my guns photograph and serial number stored in several places and on paper and I also take an indelible black marker and on every one of my guns make three tiny little black dots on them somewhere for positive identification purposes . I do the same thing with the marker with all of my fishing poles to and reels.
