UK hand pump

I have found a steel quality pump (I am in the UK too) - I broke the plastic one- All the ones I have found on adult toy sites were expensive or came as part of a kit. Look on Ebay.co.uk - it was called a (Gunson 77003) Vacuum Pump and I paid £24 + p & p which I thought was good price reasonable indeed. It was steel and had a pressure gauge as well. There were some that were being sold for £60 + so watch out ! But this one guy is a car tool company!
I believe it was . MST tools, in Bolton. Let me know how you get on.
My experience is that pumping in warm water (I.e the bath) is better than air, but these pumps won’t handle water,and damage easily so you need a “reservoir”. It’s looks like a plastic cup which the pump fits on one end, and the cylinder on the other and the water is pumped into this, so it stays well away from the pump.
I have found a tool company who sells them (£6.50) I have ordered one today get it mid next week and will let this site know how I get on.
