Good Floor Pumps
Can anyone recommend a good <$60 floor pump? Nothing fancy, just something that’ll last. (other then ToPeak)
Thanks

Something that will last? I bought my Silca floor pump in 1980; still going strong. I had to replace the leather gasket a couple times and replace the rubber in the head 4 or 5 times. Only works for presta valves though.

I snagged an old Meidai pump at a thrift store. Restored it, new leather washer and pressure gauge. All told, less than $25.

Blackburn Air Tower 4. Lifetime warranty I think. I had a gauge to bad, they sent me a whole new pump. I like the gauge up high.

I've had many, many years use out of cheap-o $25 pumps from Nashbar, Performance and Park Tool. Unless you think 15+ years is not durable enough.
My philosophy is don't over think a floor pump. Just go to your favorite online or local seller and buy one that you like and can afford.

Maybe slightly off-topic, but I love my Black & Decker AirStation. 160LBS MAX pressure, 200LBS accurate guage with auto shut-off, and runs on either AC 110v or DC 12v. I replaced the stock head with one from an old pump that had a dual PV/SV, and it works great. I move this from my garage to my car and I never manually pump my tires and the air pressure is extremely consistent with the auto-shutoff.
