I bought this air pump, it says on it to make sure its sealing rings are always lubricated,but it doesn't say with what. No special reason you guys should know, but I'm asking here anyhow andif no one seems to know, I'll hunt for a boating forum.Also, even though it was sold and shipped by Amazon, it came in a bigbox labeled all over (4 sides) as 6 units of patio chair covers, andonly one side that it was for me. Plus the box (and the pump) was a lotbigger than I expected. I think it's very good that Amazon reusesboxes, but I've never seen it before and I thought something fishy wasgoing on. Ahh. I see from the box that it's made by the same company that makesthe patio chair covers, so it's not Amazon that used a non-conformingbox but the original vendor. Made in China, shpped from Seattle.

Maybe you need the exercise, but this style is a lot less work, smaller, fasterand deflates the object also. No need for lubrication either.(Lots of brands available, this is just an example) wise man once told me:"If you are working too hard, you are probably using the wrong tool."

The ultralight version I have stuffs down to about the size of a #2.5 can. It, my Eureka one man tent, a down mummy bag, a mini-Trangia cookset, and some food fit nicely in a roll top dry bag.
