I bought a footpump and left it in the boot of the car for emergency/occasional use. The first time I used it a few months after purchase was to blow up a small 8 inch tyre on boat launching trolley. The pump fell apart; the gauge fell off and rendered it useless. I returned it to Halfords in its original box in brand new condition (but not working). In was shocked when they refused a refund, offering only a replacement as i did not have the receipt. I pointed out that it was a Halfords own brand pump the same as the ones on sale but they were adamant, no receipt, no refund. Both the sales assistant and the manager would not budge, despite my protest that the pump was not fit for purpose and certainly not something I would want to depend on in an emergency. In my view this is really poor service.
