As the most expensive pump on test, this needs to be pretty good. But, unfortunately for Draper, it isn’t. Easily the biggest problem is that the pedal simply isn’t sturdy enough. Unless you position your foot dead central, and push carefully, the pedal collides against the lower frame, restricting the stroke. And then there’s the bizarre valve coupling, which instead flicks to horizontal when locking on, opposite to pretty much any pump we’ve ever tried.
