Silca Hand Pump Tattico Mini Black

Typical mini-pump gauges have issues of accuracy and size. The gauge can't be so big that it feels bulky in a jersey pocket nor can it be too small to read. Much like a high-end watch, the internal mechanism of an accurate pump gauge consists of a variety of small, precision parts with precise movements. Also similar to a watch, the internal components of a floor pump gauge are already very small in size. As we looked at creating a gauge small enough to mount on a mini-pump, we found that as the overall size of the gauge decreased, the internal mechanism needed to be simplified and therefore accuracy decreased rapidly. This leaves traditional mini-pump gauges generally being barely more accurate than squeezing the tire with your fingers.

TATTICO has 4 unique features:

1. Inverted Design: TATTICO is designed backwards from most pumps.  The hose and valving is hidden inside the inner tube rather than the outer cylinder delivering up to 10% more air per stroke compared to pumps of similar length.
2. Adaptable Cup Seal: Other pumps seal with o-rings which lose effectiveness as friction heat increases.  The TATTICO Adaptable Cup Seal grows with the tube resulting in ultimate efficiency at all temperatures.
3. Hidden Heat Sink:  There is a heat sink hidden at the end of the barrel which absorbs a high percentage of heat generated when pumping.  This keeps the rest of the pump cool, even at high pressures.
4. Twin Tube Insulated Grip:  TATTICO handle uses 2 thin tubes separated by an insulating air gap to keep hands cool.  This results in better grip and control without risk to hands even when inflating multiple tires to high pressures.
