What's their definition of "fast"?


I guess their definition is "not slow".

And what do they mean by "two speed pump"?


Two pump handles on one bottle jack. As I said in an earlier post, you
can get some cross country ski training with it.

FYI...here's the manual...http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals...9999/39981.PDF

Two pump handles on one bottle jack

I guess that could mean "two speed" if one arm moved faster than the
other.

If I were marketing this device I'd have used "variable speed pump"
since the user can determine how fast he moves the handles.

"Variable speed" sounds even more impressive than "two speed." g
