I have the adjustable pump. I've only actually used it once, and I think it was ok, but not great. It's handy if you want to switch between a variety of bikes (road, mtn, wife's etc...)
I have Park tools on both ends of the quality/utility spectrum. I like the beam torque wrench, but my combo pedal wrench/chain whip is a stamped piece of junk. I have the spline wrenches for cassettes, bottom brackets, etc., but can't figure out why they didn't include a way to hook them up to a socket wrench directly. The BB socket is the only one that does that. I have to buy all these adapters to use the other ones. I recently bought a cable cutter and went with Pedros because everyone said the new Park tool is junk. They got a super website, though. I'd say Park bats about .500.
