If you really want a floor pump that'll last you the rest of your life, then there are two steps.

Step 1: Buy a Park Tool Pro level floor pump;

Step 2: Buy the chuck linked here. I bought one a while back for an old favorite pump whose chuck had gone bad, and it got to me from Japan in about five days. And I paid thru PayPal. The dollar was a little stronger than the Yen when I bought mine.

Attach the Hirame Chuck Yoko to your Park Tool pump, and you'll most likely never need another pump for the rest of your life.

By the way, the stainless steel hose band I used was purchased for under two bucks from Home Depot.
