Sometimes the valve core will loosen as the hose is unscrewed.
OK, got it. It is a nice pump - seems to move a decent amount of air. I typically run my tires around 65-70 psi and never have any trouble getting them up to pressure. If I'm using this trail or roadside, I'm fixing a flat and typically pump it up before I put it back on the bike. But maybe that will be a necessary step to mitigate the risk of a snapped valve.
