This pump does inflate the kayak, and is easier than the foot pump, but the guage doesnt work very well, if at all. We couldnt tell because the needle jiggled but didnt give us a reading. We still had to just guess about the pressure. This product is not worth it for the extra money. It comes with 4 tips, which is nice. The overall height is low to the ground, so you might want to consider something else if you have problems with your back.

This pump makes quick work of pumping up a Straitedge 2 kayak, or at least the job is done before I get too tired, maybe ten minutes of actual pumping time start to finish. The pressure gauge is a must-have, dont be cheap and save a few bucks on the version without. The nozzle does tend to be a bit slippery and fall out, you really need to jam it in, then I worry about breaking it or the boat valve, but so far, so good.

If youre using this as the principal means of inflating a kayak, or other large inflatable, be prepared for a certain amount of lower back pain. Its quite sturdy and functional, but if I ever need another one, I will buy the foot-powered variety.

This pump works like it says and the price is good.
The pressure gauge helps see when my inflatable kayak reaches the required 1 psi, which is surprisingly quite high.
The guage reads up to 16 or so, 1 psi appears just above 0, but it is readable and seems reliable.
Its slower than an electric pump, so I use an air mattress pump to do most of the inflating, then use the hand pump to top it off at the required pressure.
So while its not that easy to use, it always works without the need for batteries, and I would definitely buy one like this again.
It looks sturdy enough to last a long time. Supposedly you can unscrew the base to take apart to oil it, but found could not easily do that by hand, (may need some kind of vice for that, if necessary.)

Purchased to use with our inflatable Kayak. Easy to work. Both inflates and deflates. We use it in tandem with one the connects your car battery. The gauge guides you in topping off your inflating. It also works on smaller air chambers like a dream.
