Broken bicycle pump "head"
It's actually not exclusively a bicycle pump head but I broke the nozzle/head on an electric pump made by Black and Decker. After numerous calls for replacement parts I was told that it's a "liability" to sell replacement parts for high pressure lines.
With that out of the way, where can I buy a replacement head/nozzle to crimp on the end of the hose? I don't want to buy another expensive pump just to replace a $2 part.
Thanks
Chris

perhaps you need to have the hose size in mind, bring what you have,
and see if the bike shop can order you a floor pump replacement head,
from one of their distributors, then a hose clamp to fit it..
there a trigger to shut the air off to prevent over pressure?
volume of car-tires gives more margin of error,
than a small volume bike tire.

When I ordered a new head for my bontrager turbo, I got a hose and head for $12. I would buy something like that, cut the hose on the black and decker, and connect the hoses together with a barbed coupler and t-bolt clamps if they are available in that size, if not readily available, I would just use regular hose clamps.
