A no-lumbago pump

Version française     back to home page

The pump shipped with the Best kites is very convenient, heavy-duty with an aluminium axis and a strong handle. It is also quite short, which is nice for packing, but makes you pump in a very bad position, dangereous for your back.
So I created an extension for the handle to let you pump stnding up in a much better position.

Materials

25mm PVC tube, used for electric cables.
2 T jonctions for the PVC tubes
PVC tubes are reinforced inside by 10cm of round wood.
2 screws and 2 Beta pins
I made 2 holes of 3mm at each ends of the handle, one at the top and one at the bottom

How does it work?

Packed

Unpacked, ready to use
