This nifty little device does indeed replace most CO2 cartridges in your bag, it is NOT cheap, it is sized better than the cartridges it replaces though. I do have a friend with it that used it prior to my purchase and sang it's praises. I run tubeless and last puncture pulled it out. It (or maybe me) failed miserably. I am suspicious that the puncture, which was deep and when I later removed my tire found a sizable glass shard inside of the tire, was too great to pump the tire back to snuff given the volume and ended up using a CO2 cartridge. Alternatively, maybe I was not able to press the nozzle head onto the valve sufficiently. Moving forward I will probably use the included screw-on adapter intended for use with tpu tubes to be certain it's not a me issue.
It charges quickly and seems to maintain charge over time when not used. It's small and light and fits easily in the back pockets of my jerseys. While it doesn't inflate to 'my' 100%< at around 75PSI, it's more than effective. I love not dealing with cartridges any longer, though I carry one in my saddlebag as a backup. It does get a little warm when using, but not to a bothersome extent. Also great the other day when my tubeless setup sprang a leak and lost more air than needed to get home. I topped it off quickly and was on my way.
I've owned several mini pumps over the years and never enjoyed using any of them, they have all been worthless garbage! After a little research, I pulled the trigger on the Lezyne Grip Drive HV in the medium size. I just got done testing it on a fully deflated 26x2.35 mountain bike tire, and was easily able to pump it up to 25 psi without much fuss! This will make trail side repairs much faster and way less stressful! Just a well made and well thought out product, im very happy with my new pump!!
I got this pump to make home installation of tubeless tires easier. I haven't yet used it in that capacity, but it works well as a standard pump. I like that it's metal with a large base and doesn't easily tip over. The longish air hose makes it easy to reach the valve stem and the head engages easily and reliably locks into place. The gauge seems to read a few PSI lower than my digital gauge so I add another 3-4 PSI to the target pressure to compensate. The tubeless tires slowly lose pressure as it is, so that can't hurt. I'll try to remember to post again after I've used it to mount some tires.
