If used to inflate a beach ball, is there a chance it could rupture it? Does this device have a mechanism to prevent it from over-inflating?

Rupturing would depend on the size of the ball & the material it's made of, it has no protection from over inflation except your finger on the trigger. It's not a good product & I wouldn't buy it ever again, the pump tends to break after just a few cylinders of co2 are run through it because the plastic isn't strong enough to handle the force required to puncture the co2 cylinder. I'd suggest a floor pump with a gauge & Bell makes a very inexpensive one that should be more than adequate for inflating a beach ball. If you need a co2 powered inflator I'd go with the "air chuck" from Genuine innovations... it's of much higher quality but, still won't have a regulator on it. Slime makes a battery operated rechargeable inflator with a regulator & that may be your best option for the beach if you have a reason for not using a floor pump.

Yes, it ships deflated and you must blow it up. It's pretty much a beach ball.....but much cooler!

Yes. I set mine to inflate manually. It can be reset to inflate automatically again if desired.

No, I don't think so, as it only has one thing to manipulate: the on and off switch. However, all the inflatable items I have used happen to have a way to fully open the valve and therefore deflate in no time.

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

If you have a cat then no. I kept ours inflated and the cat popped it pretty quickly. I don't remember if it was easy or not to blow up, but I probably had hubby do it anyways

I didn't try it, but I would expect it to inflate them very well. You may need to fashion an adapter for the nozzle, as the smallest outlet is about 5/8 inch in diameter. You'll also waste a good bit of battery between balloon changes unless you switch it off in between fillings. But it should work.

If you unroll and, are you are patient, it will inflate. The directions specifically state that you should not blow into it, as the moisture form your break can cause damage.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

I would suspect so: inflating pool-type toys and air mattresses is what this pump was primarily designed to do. I will qualify that with the fact I don't have an air mattress.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

I used a pump that came with my exercise ball. Otherwise its the gas station...no way I could blow this up :) Still inflated though.

I truly had no trouble inflating mine...just opened the valve and blew into it. If & WHEN you do get it operationaldon't inflate it until it's taut. Leave it a bit limp. We have gotten 2 summers out of our 6, and they're still going into the pool again this summer. Good luck! If it's still not inflating, send it back...I'm sure the seller will want to know it's not working.

It will not deflate an overinflated tire. You regulate tire inflation pressure by monitoring the gauge on the inflation hose, switching the unit off when the desired pressure is reached.

If the ball has a small valve hole like a football, it will not work. The inflator comes with 2 size tips. Both are too large to inflate that body ball.

Hi Lauren - I honestly never tried it without having it blown up. With it being inflated though - it does illuminate very well and I'm thinking that it would be much more effective in the inflated state. Hope that helps! A really cool product - we use ours when we backpack.

Doubt it. The fittings used to fill your inflatables have holes drilled into them intentionally to make sure you don't over fill things. Plus I bet the gearing in the compressor is designed for high speed filling not high pressure.
