My favourite pumps are the 160Q blaster and a blue double-action pump I
don't remember the name of. They are quite cheap. I keep them suspended from
my belt with a uninflated 260. Providing I don't aim for any sensitive
bodyparts when I let go, this give me quick access to my pump. I heard
paople comment they get shoulder pains from using it, but I don't have that
problem. I walk around a lot when I'm twisting, and the larger, floor
mounted pumps just don't work for me. Nowadays, I mostly mouth-inflate and
keep my pump around in case I run out of air. 

I have, on occasion, used electric pumps, but they don't work for me. I have
a Black and Decker inflator I use when I need to inflate a large number of
balloons, e.g. when I'm working on a large sculpture.

What is your favorite pump to use - for light weight and reliability on a 4 
hour shift?
Thanks!
