I bought a Blackburn floor pump a long time ago (mid 90s). Still have it. Told my friends. Many have one. Bought another so I would have one for the trainer room. Well, you could say I bought another. I actually married someone who owned one (one of the friends that bought one).

Only failure is that the hose eventually cracks. I've "field expedited" a fix once, just before a race, in about 5 min. I've fixed 3 cracked hoses in 10-15 years, 2 on my pump, one on hers.

I've yet to replace a rubber washer, gasket, etc otherwise. Fits Shrader/Presta. I am fastidious about pumping up my tires, even on the trainer, so a pump gets used pretty much every time I ride.

I've flown with it a few times, knocked it around bringing it to races etc.

Smooth feel, good volume, good gauge.

I got the cheapest one, gauge on base. I think it was $29.99, maybe $19.99. Resembles the Air Tower 1 and 2. Those are rated low psi (120-140) but mine does 180 or something. I regularly go 100-140 psi, with certain tires I go 150-160 psi so they don't get all mushy on me.
