Jas-store.com Product Description |
The VPX1501 is powered by Black & Decker's convenient VPX Battery System. | 
Ideal for sports equipment like soccer balls and basketballs. | 
Lightweight and portable, the VPX1501 is a great back-up system for cyclists. | Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are. With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools. About the Cordless VPX Inflator
Grab the Black & Decker VPX inflator and hit the pool, the park, or the beach. This durable, portable, versatile device is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one. The VPX1501 inflator is cordless so you can take it along to the pool, sports field or on a bike trip. It is especially ideal for bike tires, sports balls and pool inflatables up to 75 psi. It's compact and lightweight, and it's very easy to carry and store almost anywhere. A hand nut lets you easily connect a variety of attachments. For your convenience, a sports needle, a raft nozzle, a tire hose, and a gauge with a presta valve adaptor are included -- and all of these accessories can be stored onboard. The VPX1501 is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery that is interchangeable with all other VPX products. The VPX1501 is a VPX expansion product with the VPX battery and charger sold separately. Key Technical Specs:
- Powered by one 7-volt VPX battery (not included)

Only Good for Little Jobs |
I just tried using it to inflate the tires on my sports-sedan and was very disappointed. The hose is very short; I cannot see the pressure gauge that's attached while engaged to the valve. Even worse, the connection (hose-to-inflator) leaked air no matter how tight I tried to make the connection. If only Black & Decker had used metal instead of plastic. The plastic connectors are simply not strong enough to handle the forces associated having a short hose. For pumping up my basketball, it works great. I'm betting it does a decent job of filling the pool toys with air. But I'm disappointed by its performance on my Lexus IS300's tires.

Not a worthwhile accessory |
|
I have other VPX components besides his inflator (driver, inverter, flashlight) and consider them to be worth the reduced prices I paid for them. I only paid 5 dollars for the pump at Home Depot and am glad I didn't pay a dime more as it really is not a well thought out or performing device. For instance, it is claims to go to 75 psi but just barely makes 60 psi and is straining too hard at pumping up one mountain bike tire on a full charge). Why does the pressure gauge got to 125? Did Black and Decker get a real good deal on these cheap plastic, over-scale gauges? Inflating a ball to 3 psi barely registers on this huge scale. |

No battery pack! |
|
I hate to give this item a low rating, but I really never got to try it. I liked that it was on sale and was very excited about that, but when I got it I saw that it doesn't include a battery pack. I couldn't afford to get the battery pack as well, so I've had to return it. With the battery it really isn't that great of a sale and very expensive, for me. I guess if you have a soccer team or something... ;) But I just wanted to fill up my toddler's soccer ball! :P I got the manual pump instead and it works great! :) |

Not well Designed Previous Versapak much better made. |
|
I also own the Versapak version of this product. It is made much stronger and has a 12" hose. The short hose severely hampers the use in many applications. The pressure gauge is super inaccurate. It is plenty powerful for most applications. BD knows how to do thus better just look at their previous VP700. Love the lithium batteries. I have bought other items in the VPX line and have been very pleased. |

B&D new VPX Inflator |
After I bought my 1st VPX item I was hooked. I had the line of B&D tools using the 3.6V batteries but with time and lent tools that were never seen again I needed to update. The item that concerned me most was the inflator, as the ads don't specify car tire inflation as a job they do well. I drive a Prius and like to keep tires them fully inflated and my prior Inflator still worked but I hate replacing ever more expensive 3.6V replacement batteries. These new VPX batteries hold more of a charge for a longer time. Anyway I found the new pump able to top-off four tires on a single battery (up to 40 lbs of pressure) without a problem.
Light-weight, more power and runs longer. I'll go to 5 stars if it keeps working like new.
