Recommend Pump Head For Silca Floor Pump?

Earlier this year, I bought a Silca floor pump. It came with a complicated pump head. There is a tip that threads onto the valve and is reversible, using a quick release, for presta or Schraeder. I really don't like the pump head, because it is slow to use, got stuck so I couldn't separate the tip from the quick release, and finally ceased allowing air to pass. It looks like this, more or less:



Except that mine is now in pieces as I had to disassemble it to get the tip unstuck.

So I want to put on a different pump head. I only really need to inflate presta, since I use my air compressor for Schraeder valves, although the ability to inflate Schraeder as well would be a slight convenience. I'm looking for a head that is quick to use and will last forever or close to it. Oh, and not crazy expensive. I usually pump to 100-120 psi if it matters.

What do you recommend?
