The Beto floor pump:

So boringly effective, that it's the unofficial pump of local roadies,
who normally can be sold any damn thing on the promise of ephemeral
performance gains or added coolness.
I have one, and . . . well, it's a floor pump. For home use, it's the
best price-performance out there.
Complaints? Better pumps put the floor gauge at the top of the body
instead of near the floor, where it is not easily read. But they do have
an adjustable arrow on the bezel so you can set your preferred pressure
and match needle to arrow. The pump is not nifty-looking or
super-overbuilt like some of the high-end floor pumps.
If the shipping works out for you, then just get one.
