Hill Pumps MK5 PCP Pump with Dry-Pac Kit 5128-555

This pump is very well manufactured (in the UK) and with very clear instructions for assembly and maintenance.The Dry-Pac feature is an essential and quite well engineered. It could have done with a cap to seal the inlet when not in use to preserve the desiccant material (which I think is molecular sieve).Takes just a few pumps to top up my air gun.Definitely worth the price.

I bought this as an entry into filling PCP rifles. I received the MK5 pump which is supposed to be easier than the previous versions, well if it is easier then I’m glad I didn’t have an earlier mark of pump. It’s not easy, even using the suggested technique to fill a rifle from empty would be very hard work (tea breaks are needed), but it’s more manageable when used to top up an air rifles tank.On opening the box it needs assembly to be ready to use, the instructions are simply and I put the pump together in 5 minutes ready for testing. My rifle was at 140 bar and after 30 pumps it’s was back at 200 bar, I haven’t tried to get it up to the max of 230 bar as the effort does increase and I will not lie the sweat was starting to drip onto the pump.The pump feels extremely well made and the version I purchased was with the dry pac option, which I would recommend to protect your rifle from a build up of moisture in the rifles tank and shortening its life.The hills pump is not cheap, you can buy a scuba air tank for the same price, but then you have to go somewhere to get this tank refilled, and also tested every few years from manufacturing date. The other option is a high pressure compressor, these can range in price from £200 to £5000, I did look at these but I don’t shoot often enough to justify the cost of purchase and the hassle of servicing the compressor after so many hours of use was also a concern. So I purchased the hills pump, is it an effort to use - yes, is it simple to maintain - yes and that’s why I am very happy with the hills MK5 pump.

Seems to be the Mercedes of rifle pumps...Very please with this great product. I opted for the dry-pac version for my Air Arms s400 carbine. Very easy to pump - was much easier and faster than I expected. Only used once so far - going from 100 bar to 190 bar in very little time and effort.In summary it's expensive, yes, but it's a great product and well engineered - nothing cheap about it. It's also a British product so if you're into buying British like me, the extra expense is a worthy cause!Seems like so much less hassle than a diving tank with all the regular check ups and visits to the nearest diving shop to fill up.It comes with two packs of dry-pac filling, the first going straight in the pump (into the dry-pac container!) and the second as spare. Enough to last 6 months (hopefully more if you don't use it too often). Plus a tube of silicon grease for keeping the shaft nicely lubed (no jokes!)So glad I didn't opt for one of the cheap chinese pumps.

I'm a new hobby air rifle owner; not used a PCP hand pump before; had an initial problem with filling the in-built gun canister; discovered 1 O-ring was defective on nozzle but the product comes with spares so switched it over and it works OK; When I start to pump I have to push the nozzle in a couple of times but after a few cycles the pressure builds and the air valve locks and it fills good and proper. I use the pump to keep pressure topped up and whilst there's chatter online, bricks and mortar shops, and on YouTube about how hard it is to use a hand pump, for me, it was no problemo and I'm no gym freak either. It's actually really easy to pump, and it enables autonomy / bug-out freedom from unnecessary and inconvenient scuba tanks. Build quality is robust. The speed of delivery was excellent. I would recommend this.

Good quality.

had no trouble topping up a 100cc tube wasn't that hard must be fitter than the average 60 year oldwork well

Great for my PCP pistol, and cheaper than an electric Pump. Easy to use, and gives you a workout at the same time, and it is British made.

Bought to fill air rifles as I’m nervous of using the bottle. 😵‍💫 🙄 This Hills Mk 5 is beautifully made down to the finest detail. Even the box it arrives in is quality! Definitely worth the cost.
