New for me anyway.....Got it at Walmart for $10. It's about 1/2 the size of the previous Slime pump I was carrying around, and about 1/2 the price. The old Slime is on the right....
There are differences between the two.....this new pump needs a standard accessory plug to plug in (the old one can also be attached directly to the battery terminals). It comes with a built in pressure gauge (old one needed a standard extra gauge). And the new one has a built-in light that comes on when you plug it in. Too bad it doesn't light up the gauge.
The old pump looks to be a heavier-duty model....and might air up the tire faster. But this new pump works just fine.....and the gauge is right-on. (compared it to two other gauges).
You need to carry one of these things....along with a tire repair kit. Plus you need to learn how to repair a flat tire......it'll happen one day.
