It's plastic. The pumping action can generate static and then a spark. Boom.


On second though, go ahead and try it. Roll the video on your phone when you're doing it.

Meant for "holiday" lights. You can tell with the plug have a female back end to plug more in (if it wasn't in the case). In a few locations, I've taped the back of mine to prevent snow from entering & shorting out, otherwise I just knot the ends.

Well, the description says to never use it with gasoline, so there’s that.

It also says not to use anything flammable so this sounds more like a "lawyer told them to say this" vs gas will destroy it.

It is not a bad thing to come into the store if you are in the area of one. We have clearance stuff that is forever changing especially at the change of seasons. A week before Christmas we were already lowering prices. I got a Minion inflatable for 5 bucks. With Craftsman there now we have been marking down other brands. Be aware though it is very hit and miss. Jim
