I've had a couple of cheap ones and they all work just fine. One thing to
look into: if it's going to be used frequently perhaps consider springing
for one of the air driven ones so he won't spend so much time pumping it.
And it has a much higher present 'cool' factor. I think they only come in
10 or 15 ton models.
Another Mark.
