It is only used a couple of times a month though, so I can't comment on how they'd cope with everyday use.

They are great, on a back pack or a small hose reel. They don't do well, or last well pumping a van system through 100 metres of micro/mini bore.

Just hours of time esp. If it goes wrong a long way from base, van system shurflo is king.

They are great for backpacks and trolley systems tho.

DIY or just buying cheap crap I've been there. But I ain't buying the T shirt as I can make one myself ;)
Shur Flo pump shouldn't be too much of an ask if your selling the van. Just give him an empty tank of diesel :)
