blackburn tp-5 is the best pump I have ever used, I never regret having
spent a little extra for it

Not exactly clear on the question, so it's one of two answers:

1. Wrench Force (Trek) - I've had one for three years, it's excellent - whatever you get make sure the inside liner is metal

~OR~

I meant number 1 but if you know where I can get my hands on number 2 to try it out I would appreciate it.

Park Tool Floor pump or Zephal Husky. I use the Silca large Presta head
as a Schrader to Presta adapter.

Behold the bestest, cheapest floor pump ever:

This Beto floor pump is reasonably quick, very pleasant to use, will
pump up to 160 psi (it says; I take my tires to 120), has been reliable
in my experience, has a Presta and Schraeder two-hole head, and is the
unofficial floor pump of every cyclist in Vancouver. You can't go to a
race without seeing the distinctive red barrel of these pumps.

And it's C$25, which is like $20 US by the time you get it shipped. It
even has a tasteful wood handle.

I'll second this. TP-5 is a great pump, esspecially since I replaced the hose
and head with a Topeak Smart Head ( just like a Joe Blow )

I use the TP-5 on all bikes , lawn tractor, cars, soccer balls........🙂

I didn't know that, but as a Vancouver cyclist I have no evidence to the
contrary.

Great pump.

Note: the Schraeder side only works when the little pin-thing in the centre
gets pressed in by the Schraeder valve; this means you can't easily use the
pump to inflate things that require, for instance, a ball-needle (since the
air will just come out the Presta side). Just something to consider if you
were hoping to use your floor pump to inflate your large exercise ball...

Yeah, get the pump that comes with the needle valve attachments that
will allow you to also pump up a basketball, soccerball, football, etc.

I've been really, really happy with my Performance Hurricane. Because
of their "no questions asked" exchange policy I get a new one whenever
it breaks. I'm on my fifth (or so). Lucky for me the closest bike shop
is a Performance store. ;-)

I own a Park Professional that I have been using for a few years now
with no problems. Its suppose to be completely rebuildable, (a lot of
'em probably are) but so far I haven't had the need to do anything
with mine.

SKS track pump (the classic made of steel and with wood handle):

Easy to use and extremely reliable.

I will have to second that. I've got an all-plastic version of it,
but the thing still works like a charm. The head stays on tight and
never loses air--despite using it exclusively on 120psi tyres.
