This isn't a Tower product, I don't believe, as indicated by my call to their customer service (and by the sticker in the pump)-- that is, they just sell it-- it's a convenient purchase though because it has the right adaptor. Thus, the quality isn't as top notch as Tower's boards and gear made by them. This pump does the trick though. However, at some point in transport or use, the plastic piece on the handle that attaches to the hose cracked, then eventually broke off. The way the hard plastic thread sticks out doesn't seem like the best design because the plastic is somewhat thin/brittle and a bump against the trunk or a drop and it'll crack or snap. That said, we use our gear; that is, we aren't always the most gentle on our equipment, but we also don't abuse it-- we expect it take wear and tear. We're river people, using Tower boards on Appalachian rivers, even some whitewater. This pump does the trick and it's affordable, but pay attention to how you load it (disconnect everything always) and take caution with the threaded connection on the handle. It's a critical piece but os molded into the handle, so if it breaks, you're out of luck. We only had this pump for this season (summer), so, it's not like it saw a ton of use. At the price, we will buy another and we will have spare parts. Hoped to just buy the handle, but that's not an option. If that connection could be removable/insertable at the handle (screw into the handle as opposed to always sticking out) it might help.
