What Customers Say About Black & Decker VPX1501 Li-Ion VPX Inflator:

I think its a shame Black and Decker will on longer be making these tools. It runs off the same battery that all VPX tools use. This compressor was a bit of a surprise. I expected something far less well thought outand nowhere near the quality this tool is excellent. I bought it actually because I had all the other VPX toolswith the exception of the flashlight.
I have other VPX tools including their drill, screwdriver, and flash light and have been pleased with them. I was disappointed to learn that Black and Decker has discontinued the entire VPX line. Now I just have to be careful not to crack the tubing on this one. I got one of these little pumps a couple of years ago when the VPX line came out. It has been handy for me to keep in my car for use on my bicycle tires (I ride a local trail most days after work and carry the bike on a spare tire rack).After a couple of years the black rubber tubing developed a crack/leak. Fortunately there where still dealers on Amazon that had some in stock.
I love the VPX tools - The batteries last a long time and the tools do the job for light duty work.
I'm betting it does a decent job of filling the pool toys with air. But I'm disappointed by its performance on my Lexus IS300's tires. The plastic connectors are simply not strong enough to handle the forces associated having a short hose. If only Black & Decker had used metal instead of plastic. The hose is very short; I cannot see the pressure gauge that's attached while engaged to the valve. I just tried using it to inflate the tires on my sports-sedan and was very disappointed. Even worse, the connection (hose-to-inflator) leaked air no matter how tight I tried to make the connection. For pumping up my basketball, it works great.
Why does the pressure gauge got to 125. For instance, it is claims to go to 75 psi but just barely makes 60 psi and is straining too hard at pumping up one mountain bike tire on a full charge). Inflating a ball to 3 psi barely registers on this huge scale. I have other VPX components besides his inflator (driver, inverter, flashlight) and consider them to be worth the reduced prices I paid for them. I only paid 5 dollars for the pump at Home Depot and am glad I didn't pay a dime more as it really is not a well thought out or performing device. Did Black and Decker get a real good deal on these cheap plastic, over-scale gauges.
