Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:
This thing ROCKS. I purchased it in 2004 after going through 3 other faulty pumps. Luckily I had it during my coast to coast tour that summer. I used it all the time and eventually toured coast to coast in 2007... Probably had upwards of 20 flat tires. I was a leader on the trip so I had to fix other people's flats as well. Couldn't have done it without the Master Blaster. Unfortunately I lost it (or someone stole it since it works so magnificently) and am in the business of buying a new one. Gotta be this one again!

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:
This pump is essentially a copy of the legendary Zefal HPX frame fit pump. The Zefal is very hard to find and is quite expensive. This performs just as well and is outstanding. I'm very happy with it. Full length shaft and the switch on the handle (from compression mode to pump mode) makes it easy to get very high pressure over 100psi.[...]

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:
The pump moves air very well, much better than mini pumps. It has no guage so I can't comment on how precise it is. I gave it four stars because of the handle. Specifically, the valve end of the pump is made of a rubber material that sticks nicely in the junction of seat tube and top tube. The handle is made of hard plastic, which means it slides downward from the junction of the top tube and head tube toward the junction of the head tube and the down tube. Yes, the included strap helps keep it in place but the strap makes taking it on and off the frame more of a pain in the neck. If the handle were made of the same rubber material as the valve end, it would feel more secure on the frame, you might not need the strap at all and you wouldn't have to worry that the handle will scatch your paint. Other than that, its a good quality pump.

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:
It is a good pump but, as another reviewer mentions, the cheap strap and the plastic handle mean it really doesn't stay firmly seated to the frame. A pump that sells itself as a "frame fit pump" better fit to and stay attached to your frame, and this one doesn't.
