I have one and carry it often. Haven't had to use it much, though. It does the job, but I've found it finicky enough that I'm moving to a full size frame pump (Zefal HPx). Biggest problem seems to be the sealing of the chuck on the valve stem. Lots of wasted effort in air leakage. Maybe it's just me, though. The pump itself is made very well, and will likely serve my grandchildren...
Previously I'd used the Blackburn Airstick, and went through several of those. They would eventually fail either in corrosion of the internal valves, or in the case of the last one, just seize up the insides. The dual action was nice in getting tires up to pressure quickly, though.
