I rolled the dice and have been very happy with this pump. It inflates the tube fully firm, and deflates too for easy storage. It comes with 2 different tips that lock should fit about anything. I've used it on my single tube, and inflated and deflated 3 times in one day with no issue. Can't go wrong for $30.

FYI, I bought this same rechargeable pump, liked it at first. Downsides were that it takes a long time to charge, and after the charge is depleted - you can't use it because there's no DC cord for your car/boat. For a large inflatable the battery would last long enough to inflate (maybe running about 10 minutes) and that was about it, (so you couldn't reuse it to deflate). Then after sitting idle for a year the rechargeable battery was shot. Can't charge it, can't use it. I only ever got to use the thing maybe 3 times ever. Don't recommend this for boaters.
 
That’s strange. I’ve had mine for 2 years with no issues. I’ve used it to inflate and deflate me 3 person inflatable dingy twice in a day. They key for me has always been to put it back on the charger at the end of day after I use it and never store it with low battery. I also am sure to fully charge it before storing for the winter. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.
