Robust and worth it.
For certain types of balloon, such as modelling balloons, such pumps are a necessity for other than the expert. This one is well adapted to the purpose. And whereas in my childhood everybody seemed to expect to be able to blow up balloons manually, this no longer appears to be the case with several types of balloon and no-one really wants to have a balloon explode directly in their face anymore. I have seen complaints about the durability of other pumps that were either cheaper or included 'free' in modelling balloon packs but everyone else seems satisfied with the robustness of this separately sold one and so am I even after repeated sessions of use. Finally, the design of this pump bears a degree of aesthetic value (i.e. it's curiously odd-looking).
