It takes about one time in a deep hole to promise oneself to never ever again submit to the temptation of buying a Walmart or other similar quality pump. In fact, in a deep hole, no pump might be better than a mediocre pump - the hands might not get cut, the vent might not get sheared off, time wasted, and one might not have ended up swearing so much while banging the ground with the pump
