    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~

    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:

    older_id=67006
    9&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=17421&bmUID=1083558192640

    tinyurl.comyu9ol

    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. Topeak Joe Blow Sport Pump!

    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): sks-sks-

    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.
