mine is metal, just opened it up.

What *is* that stuff on the gravel?  Mine is sticky, like with grease.

I've not tried it yet, this job is a bigger one than I can while at working waiting for my project to compile, I'll tackle it this weekend, but I have one question.  Just how do you get the string/spring down the new airline tube!

BTW, if you never opened one of these you should, they are clearly the work of an insane genius.

(Mine pumps air but is noisy, I'd like to fix it.)
