0-60 psi gauge would only get me half way there. I use my compressor to get to 100~ PSI then use the Silca floor pump to get to my target.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, if your floor pump gives you a workout, it's probably good to be getting that workout.

I don't use threadlocker on my Presta valve cores, but I do check the valve core on every new tube to make sure that it's tight.

I think it's good that you posted a picture, too, because these really aren't exactly like the old Lezyne chucks.Lezyne actually has a page about their air chucks: History and Compatibility of Chucks. The one I purchased recently is the first Lezyne floor pump I've owned, so I never lived with any of their earlier models.

I recently bought a Topeak Joeblow X. I like it and chose it because the gauge is near the top which makes it easier for old eyes to read.
