The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
It is a great size to fit in a small bag. I don't have braze-ons, so I typically put this pump in a little tool bag strapped to a rear rack, or put it in a messenger bag.
It can pump road tires to about 100 psi without requiring too much strength.
The combination Schrader/Presta connector is convenient and doesn't leak.
The little mud flap is pretty much useless. You might as well cut it off.
The way the handle locks down is a good concept (all the way in and twist slightly), but it tends to interfere with pumping a complete stroke. It is also difficult to find a comfortable position on the handle to push with power.
Overall, it seems pretty durable, but it gets pretty warm when you pump quickly.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
Because it's "single action" it requires a lot of pumps to get up to even moderate pressure, but pumping is reasonably easy. For "on the road" emergency use, this is a fine pump to get you back to moderate pressure and get you home. But keep a bigger pump and gauge at home for the majority of your tube work, especially for high pressure tires. And be sure to keep it set up for your valve type; it's hard to change it without resorting to long-nose pliers or similar tool.

Really nice pump for road bikes, pretty quick and easier than most pumps to inflate to high tire pressures.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
This pump was super easy to attach under my water bottle cage. I've used it on numerous occasions and frequenly share it with fellow riders. This pump is attached to my bike for all types of rides. When I park my bike at work or the gym, I can quickly unhook it and toss into my backpack. As a recreational rider, I don't think it's necessary to have a dial on your travel pump, but rather spend the extra dollars to purchase a nice homepump with dial. I agree with a previous review that the little muddle flap isn't the best quality, but unless you ride through an extensive amount of mud, it's not a big deal!

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
Despite some of the cons mentioned by other reviewers, I think this pump does a great job of what it's supposed to do. For a small frame pump it inflates tires with minor effort, and that's all supposed to do.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
I have carried this pump in my backpack for my 18 mi. commute the last three years. It gets used if I need to top up at work, or get a flat. As an "emerg" pump it is perfect. Yes the stroke is shorter than other pumps but it gets me up to 90 psi in no time and is totally worth the weight savings. Completely reliable & does both valve flavors (super easy to swap). Neither a bigger or a smaller pump would serve me any better. Insignificant complaint: The pump head plug doesn't stay in place.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
I like this pump for the size and ease of use. Although for my MTB, using 26X2.1 takes a some time to pump the tires to 35 PSI. Also, I'm not sure if its the amount of strokes or the increasing pressure, but the handle by the valve begins to get pretty warm. Nice thing is that its easy to pump to the higher pressures, it just takes a lot of them. Probably be better for a road bike with lower volume of air.

Comments about Topeak Pocket Master Blaster Pump:
I already had a minipump, but I wanted one that I could fit directly onto the frame of my road bike. It fits nicely next to my water bottle. Fairly lightweight and does a better job than my other minipump: you get more pressure out of this pump and pump up the tube faster than you would expect. Perfect for on the road!

I've had for several weeks and am very happy with the result. It is light, low profile and does what I need it to do.

Plan to use in an emergency only. Actually, I hope to never use it.
Fits into a saddlebag. Not heavy.
May take some experimentation to see how it actually attaches to the valve stem. No documentation provided.
