I understand that budgets can be a restraint, but if you can, you should really get a floor pump for home (with pressure gauge of course).

A hand pump is really only meant to serve as a crutch while out on the road. You can carry a tire gauge around, or you can just fill the tire until its rideable. Then, once you get home, use the floor pump to fill it to the proper pressure.

Besides, pumping to 80+ psi on ANY hand pump is not the most fun thing in the world. With some, it's not even possible.
