Nobody. Do yourself a favor and spend $20 on a shock pump. You will have zero accuracy with any other type of pump.

You forgot something: EOT
Whilst on this topis, can i just use a normal schrader pump on my Drop Off IV fork?
'regular' pumps pump too much air volume to be usefull as shock pumps.
In a desperate situation it would work. but like probable said, you could not be accurate because of the large air volume generated with regular pumps.
