The emergency hand pump horn never runs out, does not require a refill and is not affected by temperature, meaning you know for certain this can be depended on in an emergency.

Once the horn has been screwed on one end, you then pull out the handle and then give a good pump – it is also suitable to be used over and over again in quick succession. When you’ve finished with it, screw the pump handle back in the closed position to prevent accidentally setting it off and making everyone jump.
