" Hi Malik the magic guy for expertvillage.com. Pumps are important. This is the best way to put air in a balloon. Now some of the peers would tell you you have to blow them up. I blew them up for 8 years and I can tell you once I started using a pump life got better. Now all you really need you need a hand pump like this. This would work find for almost any event that you are ever going to do. This is just a screw top when I talk about before this are is five or six dollars. If you buy them in bulk they would definitely less then that. You can get this for just for a few bucks. By a couple keep one in your trunk, keep one in your pocket, carry one with you all the time, they are very handy. You can get a pump like this, this is great for skinner balloons called a 160 you can use this for a 260 as well but it is not good if you are in a hurry. Now what I'm working a bigger event I use on of these guys. This is a big floor pump this way made by a professional balloon supplier. I'm just going to give you a idea how this works. You put a balloon on here and on one stroke this would full inflate a 260 balloon with room to spare. So if you work in a bigger event they make different varies of these floor pumps and they are really handy and they help out a lot. So really think about getting yourself a really good quality pump. If you look on my website there would be some links to some suppliers, some pumps that I like to use, some ones that I have success with in the past. I give you one tip I'm not a fan of battery pumps. There are some pumps that are electrical that operate on a battery this you never have to recharge, it never runs out of air, it is just a pump, and the battery is right here."
