Only Good for Little Jobs 
I just tried using it to inflate the tires on my sports-sedan and was very disappointed. The hose is very short; I cannot see the pressure gauge that's attached while engaged to the valve. Even worse, the connection (hose-to-inflator) leaked air no matter how tight I tried to make the connection. If only Black & Decker had used metal instead of plastic. The plastic connectors are simply not strong enough to handle the forces associated having a short hose. For pumping up my basketball, it works great.... more info

Not a worthwhile accessory 
I have other VPX components besides his inflator (driver, inverter, flashlight) and consider them to be worth the reduced prices I paid for them. I only paid 5 dollars for the pump at Home Depot and am glad I didn't pay a dime more as it really is not a well thought out or performing device. For instance, it is claims to go to 75 psi but just barely makes 60 psi and is straining too hard at pumping up one mountain bike tire on a full charge). Why does the pressure gauge got to 125?

No battery pack! 
I hate to give this item a low rating, but I really never got to try it. I liked that it was on sale and was very excited about that, but when I got it I saw that it doesn't include a battery pack. I couldn't afford to get the battery pack as well, so I've had to return it. With the battery it really isn't that great of a sale and very expensive, for me. I guess if you have a soccer team or something... ;) But I just wanted to fill up my toddler's soccer ball! :P I got the manual pump instead and it works... more info

Not well Designed Previous Versapak much better made. 
I also own the Versapak version of this product. It is made much stronger and has a 12" hose. The short hose severely hampers the use in many applications. The pressure gauge is super inaccurate. It is plenty powerful for most applications. BD knows how to do thus better just look at their previous VP700. Love the lithium batteries. I have bought other items in the VPX line and have been very pleased.
