Topeak has a 2 year warranty on their pumps.. if you only get a year out of it then you're doing it wrong. I've had my Joe Blow Pro i got at the REI garage sale cheap for like 3-4 years now and i had an issue with the head unit and i took it to the LBS and no questions asked replaced it for free. Just bought a new gauge/valve assembly today and it will be here tomorrow probably since I live like 45 mins from their office. 12 bucks to put another 4+ years of life on a normally 80$ pump is pretty good.
