There are various 'Vevor' branded hand pumps on Walmart.com all in the range of $45-$50; with decent reviews-but, some are three stage; some are four...
Is there any real reason to go for one over another?... Pros/Cons?...
Thanks!

The $50 pumps are all three stage I am pretty sure. There is a lot of mislabeling. You might be able to find a cheap 4 stage pump, not sure. My understanding is that the 4 stage pumps get higher pressure with less pumping resistance.

IMO more stages means more things to go bad and repair. I'm very happy with my $40 three stage hand pumps for 3000psi volumes ranging 180-255cc.
Did need to refurb one after 3 years of service but it was an enjoyable learning experience for me ( yeah, I'm odd that way ;-)
If i need to fill larger volumes I'll fire up the 220v yong-heng. Don't have anything rated above 3000psi and have no plans to go there ...yet:-)

3 or 4, I've even seen a 3½ stage pump!
I have a 3 stage. It can pump 3000 psi easy enough, but I weigh almost 200 pounds. It will be very hard to pump if you weigh 120.

The G9 hand pump is a four stage pump. If there's a pic of the spare parts bag and you can see the o-rings you can tell how many stages by the number of o-rings.

Ive had a 4 Uncles 3 stage pump since Nov2022. I havent had any problems with it. It did come w a baggy of extra parts and a wrench to disaseemble if needed. I did have to tighten some of the connections but all good. I havent used the pump or my 2 PCPs much in the 1.5 years but they still work good. I was thinking to get an extra hand pump as a backup, but i dont shoot my 2 PCPs much as it is..
