It's the hose!
Having owned other mini pumps before, I can add another endorsement of the Morph pumps. I have owned a Topeak road morph for several years. Having a hose to attach to the valve just makes pumping up a tire way easier--much less energy spent holding the pump, while jerking the entire bike or wheel back & forth with the pumping motion caused by hose-less pumps. They are easy to service if they start showing problems. The head on mine recently developed a leak; Topeak customer service sent me a new hose promptly, at no charge. Unfortunately the pump clip they make for this pump really stinks. I use a pump clip from an old Blackburn/Bell airstick pump which died. The barrel size is the same for both pumps, so the blackburn clip works fine with the topeak, without looking so clunky & awkward.
