Charlie Ky's recommendation on the $13.99 HARBOR FREIGHT "High Flow Hand Air Pump" (sku 63304) pump is a great one. It is well built and durable. I would only say that its gauge is "ballpark" accurate and that it is not a precise reading, but other than that it is a superb pump even if it were priced at thirty dollars. It has does both SCHRADER and PRESTA. You won't find a better " typical Dynamite T plunger Old Fashioned style floor hand air pump" for twice the price.
IF YOU MUST HAVE PRECISION ACCURATE psi READING for your TIRE, then pump the tire and then use a separate high quality DIGITAL TIRE GAUGE to read the tire inflation pressure, and then release or add air as necessary Until You Get The precise tire pressure psi number that you desire. If you're like many folks who simply do the thumb squeeze test, then this pump is all you would need. Gauge accuracy is probably within 10%, so enough to be ballpark accurate, like new car speedometers were sixty years ago.
