I'm going to make myself a chamber using Dom's (really excellent) guide, would this co2 pump work?

they do replacement co2 canisters and it looks about the same size?

Thanks

or this one which looks most like the one in the instructions?

Id say the third one... the first one you posted wont work as it only lets the co2 out when pressed onto the bit for the tire...

If you can find an attachment for a large co2 canister that would be the best thing as you have more control over how fast to let in the co2. from using the one i have its not the best but its not bad, im going to look into getting a large canister with a tap attachment.

This is one of the larger canister which can be bought from most gun shops.

funny enough I don't know of any gun shops!!!

I've just ordered the 3rd one and bought everything else from Homebase - dreading actually using it but building it shouldn't be a problem

Naomi, if you can cancel your order there are similar models on Ebay for £6.99... mine came with two cartridges too. The brand I got was Truflo.

I used the one in the first link, it worked but I did manage to burn my fingers off I had massive blsters for weeks.

I dont know whats best but obviously one with a trigger might be the way forward.

is that the right one Paul?

now how do I know I'm NOT going to burn my fingers like poor Ian - how DO you administer it correctly?

 

[Paul]

Yes, that's the one. There is a regulator at the top, so you just turn it slightly to start the flow..

What about something like this one? Would this work? :?

or is this one better?
I'm also interested in making one.

 

[DomLangowski]

Im looking to get one like this

It will attach a larger bottle and hopefully not cost as much, at the mo im buying little cylinders at £1 each. You can buy a larger cylinder and then get it refilled for alot cheaper
See how things go.

Maze, the second link you have posted you might have difficulty attaching a hose to it, im not 100% sure but it looks like you would. With the first one im not sure how that one works so i couldn't comment, sorry.

Do you know if this one has worked as I'm planning on ordering it from another site. Just wanted to
make sure its good enough and works. if so, I'm guessing I attach the tube onto the metal piece on the side?
