I'm looking for my first quality (non-WM) floor pump. I've searched here as well as looked at numerous reviews for the floor pumps under $40. It seems like all of them have a problem when it comes to inflating (either getting a good seal is the problem, cheap materials make inflating difficult, etc.) presta valve tires.

Can anyone recommend a quality floor pump for under $40 that works equally well with Presta and Schrader valves?

Thanks.

Serfas.

Don't spend "less than $40". Spend $45 (unless you can find a sale) on a Serfas FP-200. I use one in the shop.

My LBS had Giant brand flood pumps so I've been using the Control Tower 1 with no complaints for the last year and a half.

I researched floor pumps a couple of years back and settled for this one for the
quality and the price. I have been very happy with it.

+1 for this Joe Blow. Great pump for $35. I've had mine for about a year.

For $40 you can get a specialized air tool which I think is a notch above the JoeBlow model. More metal construction and better air valve.

I use the joe blow in my truck and the air tool at the house.

I've been very happy with my Lezyne:

It replaced a 25 year old Silca.

+1 on the Joe Blow ... have been using mine for more than 5 years now ... cannot remember how much I paid for it but it was not the most expensive choice available.

I got a Park Tool PFP-4 for 40 bucks a year ago and it's still working

+4, the Joe Blow is the way to go.

 

[profpenguin]

I have the Lezyne as well. I haven't had any problems with it. I can't say how it compares to the others, but it works well for me.

 

[tihsepa]

I have a Park something or other 3 that they dont make any more and a Lezyne. They both work very well.

Just picked up a Lezyne Alloy Floor Drive at $44 from chainlove. I love those sales they have going on.

+1 For Joe Blow :thumbsup:

I've got no good information except that the bulk of pumps that I've used in the past have a pretty sketchy pressure gauge. You may pick up a stand alone gauge to have peace of mind. I know sometimes they are off a good bit. The ones on the pumps that is. That is just my very limited experience and I'm new so take that with a grain of salt.

+1 on the Giant Control Tower.

I bought one as a newbie in 2006. Made all the newbie mistakes with it, and it it still lasted six years. I went to the dealer to see about a new head or seal kit. He said, "Quit bustin' my stuff" and handed me a new one off the shelf, later explaining that it has a lifetime warranty.
