Absolutely correct. I just had this happen with my Joe Blow. Went to top up my tires for a ride and the pump failed without warning. Took 2 weeks to get the replacement part. Other than that, it has been very reliable and easy to use. I like having the pressure dial at the top of the pump rather than on the floor.
