Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

True, it's better built than most mini and frame pumps and will last longer in routine use. That said, "longer" doesn't mean very long. Sort of "the best of a bad lot".

I guess I'm spoiled by my 15 year old Silca that has had the rubber valve washer replaced twice and no other repairs and I use it keep four bikes topped up. I can't imagine any portable pump lasting in that service or being tolerable to use that much.
