I have an old Zefal Husky and it works well, or did work well, but the rubber rings in the schrader head and in the presta adapter have both gone bad. Presta adapters are readily available but I had to ultimately glue my new presta adapter into the schrader head to keep it working.
The parts you need are here:

Thanks for the pointer to xxcycle.com. Never heard of them. I kept the name in my bike supply notes.
I LOVE your name. I had to explain it to my wife.

so I've been wanting to buy a decent floor pump, what are some
recommended brands..? any brands to definitely avoid..??
preferably something capable of both schrader and presta valves....
(i think most pumps can do that nowadays, but thought I'd mention it)
Thanks in advance..!! -Jack
p.s. I did a search and not much came up....

I've had two Blackburn Airtower's sieze up after a year or two. The good news is that you can just take them to an authorized dealer and swap it for another one, no paperwork, no questions asked.

Assembled with surplus King Tiger tank parts I'm sure. Probably will outlast your kids. Silca's aren't what they used to be and are overpriced IMO. 2nd choice, Blackburn Air Tower #4.
