A *foot pump* is a manual air pump you operate by pressing down with your foot to inflate tires, balls, inflatables, and air mattresses. No electricity needed
*How it works:*
You press a pedal or bellows with your foot, which forces air through a hose into the valve of whatever you’re inflating. The weight of your body does the work, so it’s easier on your arms than a hand pump.
*Common features:*
- *Dual-cylinder or single-cylinder*: Dual cylinders push air on both the down and up stroke for faster inflation
- *Pressure gauge*: Built-in gauge to check PSI/bar so you don’t over-inflate
- *Hose & nozzle adapters*: Comes with different nozzles for car tires, bike tires Presta/Schrader, balls, inflatables
- *Foldable design*: Flattens for easy storage in a car trunk or backpack
- *Non-slip base*: Keeps it stable while you’re pumping
