Terry, I bought a Campbell Hausfeld battery operated
pump for $59 U.S. at Home Depot.  I weighs 11 lbs so
you need a cart.  I use this 5 to 6 days a week,
generally for 4 hour gigs, and have used it on a
steady basis since Feb. without a problem  I go thru
about 1500 balloons a week useing this pump.

On Mothers day I was busy, an I mean BUSY (couldn't
even find time for a potty break) for 9.5 hours.  At
the end of the day the pump was noticably slower, but
it was still going, and I had used it for 4 hours on
Sat.  I had just plugged it inn to charge overnite.

This one beats the heck out of the $150 to $300 ballon
pumps.  The only thing is I had to spend %.98 for a
packahe of attachments that included the nozzle to fit
my 160's that I use.

It is the only way to go.  BTW why be a "no paid no
tips volunteer."  God gave you a talent.  Use it and
support yourself with it.
