Shock Pumps

I'm in the market for a shock pump for occasional home/personal use. I don't need a digital readout and want something reasonably priced. I've seen Fox and Rock Shox pumps that are both about $30.00. Is one superior to the other? Is there another brand I should consider?

Thank you for any input.

The Fox and Rock Shox pumps you've seen are probably made by the same company.

Giyo makes a lot of shock pumps that get re-branded.

Thank you. I've learned something.

The first two pumps listed on the Giyo site, appear to be identical to the Fox and Rock Shox I've looked at aside from gauge color.

Thank you. I'll search Amazon for the Giyo this afternoon.

The Giyo GS-02 came today. Seems very sturdy and well built. It's the same as the Rock Shox model with an additional feature. The Rock Shox model screws on but reviews claim than some air seeps out when unscrewing. The Giyo adds a lock lever that prevents seepage.

Many thanks again to cobba and 2cam16 for pointing me in the right direction.
