Lap pump = harbor freight tools pump

I did the same thing last week from Harbor Freight and it works very well at half the price. It’s a great find.

Same :(

I purchased from LA pump years ago and threw it out. Recently purchased another one from that Dr. Guy. What a joke! Pump broke in one week.

Purchased from Harbor Freight.. Like finding gold.. Exact same thing (or pretty close) to the higher quality pumps. Great Find!

Here is my alternative to the LA pump Package ( $140.00 + 16.00 Shipping = $156.00 )

LA pump cylinder $70.00 + $15.37 shipping = $85.37

2 male connectors from McMaster-Carr $1.30 x 2 = 2.60 + $4.75 shipping = $7.35

General Harbor Freight pump which they place on EBAY weekly for $19.03 + 7.99 shipping = 27.02

3/16” ID tubing from Lowes @ $0.16 / feet - Bought 8 feet = $1.28

Everything you need @ a total price of $121.02

$156.00 - $121.02 = 34.98

SO by simply adding a little extra effort you can save yourself about $35.00

That’s money in the pocket.

Now I haven’t received anything yet and Harbor Freight stated to allow 14 days to receive (which is pretty slow to my ship times on Ebay) - will let you know - just wanted to throw this out there for those that like to save a few dollars.

BTW this is my first endeavor at pumping - wish me luck

The LA pump and the Harbor Freight pump are the exact same pump with each vendor throwing their own label on it. The pump shows up in a couple of other places too and is easily spotted from the red handles, brass pump barrel and gauge.

What I would like to find out is who is the manufacturer that actually makes the pump in the first place and buy directly from him.

This is what I’ve understood so far in simple terms:

1)Buy the pumping device from Harbor Freight tools.
2)Check the thread “Selecting your cylinder size” for measurements.
3)Search for a Tube that will fit your size. Ex. Gravel cleaner
4)Find a way to attach the tube with the pumping device. <— This one I have not yet understood how to do so because I lack experience in the subject.
5)Read the officiall “Pumping” thread on how to begin your journey.
6)Enjoy!

Thoughts?

Mityvac pump $40 from auto store nearby
Gravel cleaner $12 from pet store nearby

Total $52

Tried it, everything fits very well. I did not buy the liquid rubber, I can deal with it doesn’t hurt that badly. I feel like I could have easily gone without the pump and done manual suction. I would never know what the HG is though and I read that can be very dangerous so the extra $40 isn’t a big deal. It feels great, and I look forward to my gains. Thanks all :D definitely the easiest build yet.

Sorry to get a bit off topic, but roughly how great is the chance of getting ED if you make sure that you are erect before pumping and use the proper pressure etc?

Thanks.

Oh and awesome thread by the way!

Hey guys, This is kind of a weird question, but I recieved my harbor freight pump the other day, and it has a sticker with a warning on it that says “the brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the state of california to cause cancer and birth defects”. Do you guys think that this could pose any sort of health risk, since I’ll be handling the pump on a daily basis unlike someone who would be using it for it’s intended purpose of bleeding breaks?

Here’s my set-up:

Harbor Freight pump - $19.95 Harbor Freight Tools – Quality Tools at Discount Prices Since 1977

2" Jim Diamond cylinder - $28 http://stores.e bay.com/egay-ba … 2QQftidZ2QQtZkm

And that is it. I did not have to modify anything. I simply trimmed a mil or so off the tube that came with the harbor freight pump kit. I used the fitting that came with the harbor pump, spliced the tubes together for a long tube and walla! My set-up holds great vac and I have started following Advocet8’s routine schedule.

Total cost under $50

Pump $20, vacuum cylinder $28, thick angry penis - Priceless!

Thank you! Anybody can tell me where to get a cheaper cylinder similar to those made by LA pump?

Does anyone have the McMaster part numbers for the male and female couplers.

Thank you.

2 pages earlier in this thread. I don’t know about the female coupling.

I think female is 5012K29

OK, just to put the answer in one spot:

The male mcmaster PN is 5012K251 and the female is PN 5012K29.
