Great little pump this, I wouldn't be expecting to hit the pressures quoted but as an emergency back up it's fantastic and would surely see you home ok.

Very good pump
high quality item, very compact and easy to use. Stows tidily underneath the bottle cage. Just what you need in case of emergency puncture out on the road. A good compromise of quality and price - there are cheaper and more expensive versions out there but for me, this one is just right. Capable of getting enough pressure in a road tyre to see you home without your arm dropping off in the process.

Great pump
This is pump has the usual Topeak high quality feel, pumps up the tyres well (not all pumps do!) and has a great frame stowage. The capacity is small so it's probably not great for large tubes but it's fine for my road tyres.

Certainly a rocket
Really pleased with the pump, came provided with a bracket to attach to water bottle cage and fits well. Good fast pump for those annoying punctures that come along from time to time.

Can Get 100PSI
Managed to get 100PSI with this pump which is good enough to get home with after a flat so I'm happy with it, Bracket seems to be solid enough. Hasn't dropped of yet.

Great little pump
i use this pump when i go out riding to reinflate any punctures that i might encounter. For this role i couldn't want anything more from this pump. its light so can fit in my jersey pocket without dragging it down. i've inflated my tyre to about 100psi, although this does take a little time and a bit of muscle. i would suggest using this in conjunction with a track pump for use at home,

It works. But that's about all I can say. Will easily get your road tyres back up to 80 psi but you'll need the patience of a saint to get much further so the ride after a puncture can be on the squishy side until you get back to the shed pump.

Small pump
Cheap, light, looks good, fits well against the frame, reasonably easy to get to a pressure you can ride home on. What more can you say?
01 July 2010
Does what its supposed to do
Good quality small frame pump, well made, effectively inflates tyres as designed ;). The only negative being the rubber stopper covering the valve tends to come undone letting dirt etc in. Otherwise recommended

small and handy
I bought this for emergencies - it's attached next to my bottle cage (using the supplied mounting) and I mostly forget it's there. It's not the fastest or easiest to use pump in the world, but if you're out on a trail somewhere and need to pump your tyre up it does the job well enough.
Reasonably small, reasonably light, seems fairly sturdy.
I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a small light emergency pump.

little beaut
I used to ride with an old school pump (you know the ones with the cloth type valve that screwed in and that often doubled as a make shift water pistol when you were 10yrs old!) Well I managed to fold it in half one day, so a new modern pump was on the cards. I wanted a cheap, light and powerful pump and this seemed to fit the bill (and had a shed load of complimentary reviews). This was a lot smaller than I was imagining - but quite honestly it's a little beauty. It's not something I use everyday, that's what I've got a track pump for. This only gets used once in a blue moon, on the side of a hill or mountain to inflate a tube. Yes, you have to give it the beans to inflate a full tube (it's not dual action). But I got what I paid for a small lightweight pump - perfect.

Perfect
I used to rely on my friends for a pump on group rides but was running the risk of getting stuck on a flat when i went out on my own
The pump is deceptively small and very light. It is possible to pump you're road tyres to a good pressure on the side of the road with it (although the maximum pressure is a bit ambitious)
The pump comes with a small clamp for carrying it on the bike. the clamp is secure and does no rattle even on rough roads.
The pump is build from aluminium, as is the lever to clamp it to the valve which gives it what looks, and feels like a high quality build.
Would highly recommend it for any rider. it is definitely ideal for road.

Size is not important!!!!!...........yeah right
When Topeak produce their products, they combine many facets to produce a product that will almost always, tick every box...........except iron your clothes.
The master blaster is a case in point.
While many other manufacturers produce very good products, Topeak focus largely on compact design with maximum efficiency. Their multitools are also a very good example of this and the attention to quality and detail is very good.
As a mountain biker and 'roadie', i need a pump that can be versatile enough to fit in my mountain bike shorts pocket and in the rear pocket of my 'roadie' tops.
This pump is not dual-action which means it doesn't push air in on the back stroke and for it's size, you would think inflating a tyre may take nothing short of a well deserved weekend. I was very surprised by how well this pump works. Not only is it comparable to bigger pumps for speed but inflates up to 110 psi on my road bike.
I cannot fault this pump. I like trying different brands when my old kit wears out but i'd be reluctant to try any other pump.
Well done Topeak and thank you wiggle for a good deal.

Definately a Rocket Blaster
Very well made, sleek design, easy to use, flexible on valve type, light weight, easy to store. "Simples'!" Powerful & pumps up tyres quick. Affordable & good space saving mounting bracket. Cant fault it ! Definately worth the small investment.

Awesome pump, perfect for me at a great price.
So, I was looking for a pump for my new bike, had to be small but sturdy, look decent and at a reasonably priced.
You can spend a bomb on a pumps (think carbon) but it's only a pump and I ain't a try hard. But I found this little guy is just great value for money. It's small in size, fits neatly under my bottle, weighs just over 100 gm and has an alloy barrel.
So she looked good but would she do a decent job, well had to deflate a road rim to find out. Did the job easily, managed to get the tyre pumped up to a decent level without too much effort. It might take a while to get upto 160 psi but I reckon she could get there if you need it.

Big waste of money
I just walked back from my very first puncture, I thought I had all I needed in case of emergency, inner tube, patches, levers, multitool, pump... well not really, this product ended up by being totally useless and not reliable at all. Disappointed.

Does the job
Small, lightweight get you home pump. I use it as a back up to a co2 inflator- wouldn't bother trying to get 100 psi out of it but good in an emergency.
22 July 2016
excellent value
great value, small but effective, own 2 now, the first is 8 years old and still going
11 July 2016
simple, light & work
& the price is reasonable~
For the purpose this product intends to be, something simple, light, & at reasonable price is ok.
Naturally, it can't & doesn't intend to replace a floor pump.
04 July 2016
Had to use it for the first time shortly after buying it. It pumped my tyre up no problem

Mountain bike done in 16mins
Brill as a roadie or mountain biker (do both) , this is a useful and very small pump with a lot of puff as with small you can be there all day as the chamber is small but not with this one ...Was quiet suprised how fast as was ready for the back up plan of co2 but you can trust this to get the job done 16 minutes to be precise on a mountain bike tyre and is usable on BOTH types of valve presta and car valve with a bit of juggling bits arround

Never leave home without it!
This little pump does the trick! Easy to carry, easy to use, light and simple, though sturdy.
The locking-feature of the handle is a nice touch, preventing the handle from slipping out, when not in use.

Small neat good features
Purchased this pump as my other one the locking lever broke.
Very neat easily fits in your rear pocket if you don`t use the attachment for fitting to bottle cage mounts.
Only used prior to CO2 inflator or track-pump just to make sure tyre is properly seated on rim; can't see there being a problem pumping your tyre up if you had no CO2 out on a ride.
The washer that you have to remove and rotate for schrader valves is a bit tricky to remove I suggest a piece or plastic rod or the likes of so you don't damage the sealing faces of the washer. Overhaul does the job well.

Pocket Rocket Indeed
I purchased this pump after trying & very unsuccessfully using the co2 canister after a puncture on a sportive, and had to ask a fellow cyclist to us his pump. well after that the co2 got ditched & this pump was purchased straight after the sportive. It's small and mighty, fits great along side the bottle holder, very light, and pumps up an inflated tyre in no time at all without great effort, used it 3 times since purchase (6 months), and has been an invaluable piece of kit, would recommend this for any cyclist, no matter the distance you travel.

Fantastic Pump, light, versatile and powerful
This s a fantastic pump. The holder which attaches to your bike is easy to fit, but if you'd rather just carry it, it's small enough to just stuff into your jersey pocket. The fact that it's both presta and schrader compatible means it the only pump i need to family trips out. So far seems to hold a good amount of pressure if you ever get a flat or just want a bit more pressure if the conditions change.

Good product
The thumb lock system works very well, no air lost during pumping.
yet it does not have the hose, and rider will have to pay extra attention to not break the valve core.
It pumps alright until 80-90 psi, but is not easy to get to 100 and above. (it is possible for sure.)

Good quality pump, easy to use and effective action quickly inflates tube.

Very handy
Small & relatively effective... what more could you ask for?

Small, lightweight pump that does the job
Nice, small and light pump that does the job if needed. Takes a while to pump up a tyre but it is small and light and hopefully won't be needed that much. Not really for use at home (better to use a track pump with gauge) but when out on a ride don't mind the extra time needed to pump a tyre after mending the puncture - it will get you home. It is also very easy to use. Was set up for presta when mine arrived. Recommend.

Nice little pocket pump
Love the colour and multiple valve type compatibility (remove plastic insert to choose valve type...this is not something I'd want to have to do regularly but if you don't have change it often, it's no problem).
One thing I'd change on it is a feature an old CCM pocket pump of mine had - you could rotate the very end of the handle out about 45 degrees to provide grip for your pumping hand. I dearly miss that feature on this pump as the handle is perfectly straight. When it's hot and your hands are sweaty, any bit of extra handhold would be nice...
