Um, I think what Dave (??) was saying is that you can motorize the small
pump (mini pump) and make an "electric pump"
The difference between the 2 pumps is size and ease of connection to a
motor.
the manual pump is really best suited for a thumb and hand, where as the
small one is meant to be hooked up to a motor.
the big one will fill a blue air tank in 35 strokes, and a small one
will just keep running until the batteries run out.
the Main difference is volume of air. Some applications may require
many cylinders and they are best run with a pump that can put out a
larger volume of air. other apps require a steady stream of air and
that's where the little one works best.
