Great pump - better than Silca?
I have a Silca floor pump that I’ve renovated and renewed since 1977 - great pump for sure. But now I have a place overseas, and needed a second pump. Couldn’t really justify the cost of a new Silca, so I did some checking and got this one. I am seriously happy with it. It’s the “tall” version, and so is a lot easier on my ol’ back. The gauge is big and easy to read, and matches the pressure readings from my separate gauge. Gets tires up to pressure (I use tubulars - 95 front, 100 back) quick and easy. Some folks don’t seem to like the screw-on chuck, but I like it a lot - takes a moment to get it screwed on, but it’s a nice, positive seal. Sure, it doesn’t have the “cred” of a classic Silca, parts still available 50 years on, but in terms of practical daily use, this beats the Silca - quite a high bar to get over!

Great bike pump
I love the pump, once I figured out how to use it. Well built and sturdy. The screw on pump head is something new so took a couple of tries to get used to. The pressure release button only releases pressure from the pump hose, not from the tire. The screw on head fits so well and airtight, that I thought I didn’t have it on properly. It easily pumps tires up to desired 120psi. Screw on/off is easy to use and doesn’t smack your thumb or fingers like the standard lever head pump can. Have used for over a year and still love it. Works well and screw on head is the only way to go.

This the Final Boss of Pumps
This is a fantastic pump. I can use the presta valve side for my road bike, the "regular schrader valve" side for my kids bikes and to thread a needle on for filling up basket & soccer balls.It's tall, sturdy, and accurate. Keep it in a cool dry place and it should last a really long time.

So far, so good
I really like the quality of the pump and the head attachment works really well for my road bike. I used to use a tiny hand pump and I'd get a good forearm workout trying to hit 110 psi and my tires were nearly always <80 psi. Now I'm consistently above 110 psi and don't need to go to the LBS as often to use their pump.The piece that attaches to the tube is the ABS-PRO head and is a very solid connector. It has a micro adjustment button that allows for air to be released in a controlled manner. Fits both schrader and presta valves, and has extra tools for inflating other items such as a basketball or yoga balance ball.I haven't given it five stars as I want to wait and see if the product will stand the test of time in 3-6 years. The product is made in Taiwan and my two previous bikes were also made in Taiwan - I have come to trust in the manufacturing and quality of their products. I hope to revisit this review in a few years to see how well it has held up.Edit (October 2019): after four months It is holding up well. I have been keeping my air pressure 100-115psi compared to the 40-50 (dangerous) on my road bike and maintaining recommended tire pressure has helped me save effort and avoid flats (0 this year). The product is really easy to use and shows no sign of wear or loss in utility.

After having it a while, the issues with the design are apparent...
Original review: It requires 2-3x as many pumps as a normal floor pump thanks to the small diameter shaft, but that is no enough of a hinderance to make me return it, because the screw on valve, accuracy, and look/feel of the unit is awesome.Revisited review:Pro:- It allows you to effortlessly attach the pump to the valve, say, in a narrow spoke'd wheel.- Precision pump allows for very accurate pumping.- Beautifully finished equipmentCons:- Screwing on the pump head to create the right 'seal' is tricky pretty much every time. Too tight, and the pump is blocked and can't be pumped, too loose and it hisses air and doesn't inflate.- Some valve stems will seemingly not work with this. I have mostly high quality innertubes, but, on one, with a single peice valve stem, it simply would not seal no matter what. Removeable core valve stems seem to work best.- A confirmation 'pop' is needed to know you have the right seal, and it's going to work, it'll resist to a point then the resistance dissapears and you can pump normally.- Lastly, while precise in air delivery, it takes a fair number of pumps to inflate a tire, while for some this is NBD, when you combine the fidgety attachment mechanism with the slow pump rate, it's just kind of an annoyance to use this thing.This is all to say, it's a nice pump, however; despite the novel idea of a screw on head, there is simply too much variation in when it will or will not seal/work, and it gets frustrating especially if compared to a normal lever operated valve interface. I would consider these points before purchasing it. When it works, it's nice, but not nice enough that I would choose this valve stem interface over a traditional one.

Improved version of an already durable, reliable pump
I am an road cyclist so have to have a pump that can pump up 115-120# reliably. I have the previous version of this steel drive floor I purchased a few years back as well as this version with the bigger dial, and angled fill valve. First off the screw on fill valve is the same as the older version from what I can see and a real joy to use when compared to pumps with the clamp on fill valve. These screw on valves seal up tight on the tire's presta valve and do not pop off when the pressure gets over 50psi. The o-ring has lasted to this day on my older version of this pump and I don't see a reason why this one will not last that long either. Also if needing a replacement rubber o-rings, they can be found in a Home Depot, or Lowes store. The bigger dial of the new version is very much welcomed and the hose is a high quality high pressure hose and long enough to easily reach your tire fill value no matter what position it may be in on the wheel. The reason for buying this 2nd pump is to keep one for presta and the other for my wife's Schrader valve bicycle, and have a backup around if needed. From my military days I've learned to always have a backup system available. When pumping up with this pump I get about 5-7psi per stroke so it is pretty quick to get my tires up to 115psi. I am very happy with this pump which seems to be of the same quality as the older version I have, so would recommend it without hesitation as the old one has lasted so long.

Poderosita!!!
Esta delgado el cilindro. Pero que buena fuerza de llenar pronto las llantas de bicicleta. Incluso la usé en mi moto y sin problema y rápido.

The perfect pump for road bikes
Everything about this bike pump is excellent.It threads on to both presta and shrader valves very reliably, it has good seals and pumps very efficiently and the tall narrow plunger means it takes little force to achieve pressures over 100PSI while delivering a similar flow rate as a normal bike pump. The build quality and finish are also excellentGranted it's quite expensive and unnecessary for most bikes, but if you have a road bike, it is well worth it. No more struggling to seal the presta valve or pushing the pump with all your weight to get the right pressure.
