I was able to find one company that makes such a pump: Pro Bike Tool, very happy with it and it was only $23, but now I also want a floor hand or foot pump, I am really tired of those quick connects that 90% eventually fail within a few years if they ever did work.

Maybe just buy some screw on extenders, attach the pump to the extender, then always use the end of the extender as the pump head from then on?

I've been using these on my wheels to make pumping them easier, I hate having to flip a big lever with the pump head between the spokes, and they've been rock solid:

Do you mean a pump that the chuck threads directly onto the valve stem? The Lezyne Floor Drive is a portable pump you can carry on the bike. Several years ago I compared that pump with the Toppeak Road Morph G that has the conventional type chuck, at this link:
Comparing Topeak Road Morph G and Lezyne Micro Floor Drive Pumps.

Lezyne still makes it here is the high volume one,

If you want the high pressure one, it also is on their site.

Interesting that someone else is having issues because of their inflator that threads on to a valve stem. And you actually want a thread on air chuck.

CO2 cartridge removes valve core?

I've had fewer issues with lever locks and quick releases than I ever did with a screw on air chuck. But different strokes for different folks probably applies here..

Perhaps you just aren't buying the good cheap stuff, and are only buying the cheap cheap stuff.

As the pump wrangler for several different nonprofits, I've dealt with more chucks than a convention of Charleses held in a beef meat locker.

All chucks eventually wear out, from the cheapest overseas versions to the finest Silcas and Lezynes. Ones used at a shop, co-op, or nonprofit even more so. The more-expensive ones can often be rebuilt, but at a price point that's higher than just getting a lower-class but usable replacement.

A threaded connection can be used, but is often time-consuming to thread on, and when unscrewing can leak air if not performed quickly. I like threaded Schrader connections for one reason - I can thread a replacement head on quickly as needed.

A bigger problem is chucks that don't work correctly or leak right out of the box. I just had the unpleasant experience of having an entire shipment of brand new Planet Bike dual chucks leak badly around the valve in Schrader mode, regardless of reseating, tube, or bike. They were OK on the Presta side, but Schrader gets used a lot more often. That being said, the Planet Bike auto head works great with no leaks on all the same Schrader tubes. Planet Bike is aware and making it up to us.

Since at the co-op the valve ratio is about 80% Schrader (and at some nonprofits nearly 100% Schrader), I equip most of the floor pumps with inexpensive yet durable all-metal Schrader-only heads like these ones on Amazon. But we still have some Presta-capable pumps for when it's needed, and we're reasonably happy with the Planet Bike auto head, even though there is a problem with some customers unscrewing and dismantling the chuck to fix perceived or imaginary problems, or just to appropriate the innards. The dual-head chucks are much more resistant to such dismantling, but those have problems with leakage as noted above.

the Pro Bike Tools pump I now have is essentially the same as the Lezyne Micro Floor, but half the cost. Works great and seems rock solid. But I'd like a bigger pump for garage work.

LOL, "A bigger problem is chucks that don't work correctly or leak right out of the box." Exactly

One thing I have learned is never use those roadside pumps, and never ask if you can use somebody else's.
Another is never borrow yours, that's why my previous one is dead. thought I'd be a good samaritain, guy had a trillion dollar 60 speed gold plated bike but no pump, he killed it.

I don't mind threading on, I want something I know is going to work when I need it, which isn't often. My dad bought a screw on hand pump back when that was all that was available back in the late 60's, still worked when he passed away 45 years later but my brother grabbed it they are near impossible to find now.

My threaded hose kept pulling the valve core out after I was finished inflating, assuring that the tire ended up totally empty. I was livid. This is with presta valves. I realize needs are different with schrader valves, but I don't like the threaded ones for them, either, for the reason RCMoeur states.

First time that happened to me was on a bike tour about a decade and a half ago, with a 50mm wide tire which of course takes a lot of air when I pump it up the second time, with a small portable pump.

Since then, I always use a wrench to tighten the valve core. Have not had a problem with that since. And I usually use the Lezyne pump for bike touring which uses that chuck.

Several years ago I saw a great sale on Schwalbe tubes, bought a bunch of them and they all had removeable cores. On that batch I added just a tiny bit of blue (removable) thread locker to the valve cores before I tightened them with a wrench. If you try this make sure that no threadlocker gets onto the valve seat.

Last year I saw some valve caps that had a small hole in the cap that fit over the wrench flats on a Presta Valve. Bought several of those caps to put one on each of my bikes. Thus, the cap also functioned as a wrench to tighten the valve core.

I don't normally give my tires that much attention, and I don't think I should need to. I bought the core wrench and added to my tool kit, but I should not need it again, as I've gone back to the clamping type of fitting.

so how does this answer my question of finding a bike pump?
but thanks for the thread bump

There might be others on this forum that are learning from comments from others on this forum. His comments may have helped others that were unaware that some Presta valves have replaceable valve cores.

A friend of mine was unaware of replaceable valve cores, until he took the chuck off of his tire after pumping it up and the valve core when flying several feet into the grass, never to be found again.

Lezyne has their ABS-1 Pro chuck, and many models of floor pump that either come with that chuck, or can optionally be equipped with that chuck.

I have one, and I like it.

What he said. One of the few thread-on options currently available.

Doubt someone that clueless reads bike forums looking to to be enlightened. Sounds like my brother who always skipped helping my dad on chores and instead watched cartoons Saturday morning. Me? I helped my dad and eventually became a mechanical engineer.
Speaking of which, I called my brother and asked about the old pump, he said he cleaned out his garage and it was sitting in a pile to be thrown away. I know my brother so I told him I wanted it. when I got it home yeah, it didn't actually pump much air but I knew what was wrong with it. My brother failed to add a drop or two of oil every year or so, there is even a hole at the top of the plunger with "oil" stamped in it, and the leather on the piston had dried out after about 20 years of neglect. This pump is all metal, I unscrewed the top of the pump and greased the leather until it was pliable and put it back together. Works like a charm, good for another couple decades.

I really don't need a floor pump now, but if anyone knows of one that somebody makes I'd like to hear about it.

Supposedly the Pro Bike Tools, also known as Pro Bike Gear division, is a subsidiary of Shimano, Lezyne has no part in the design of the Pro Bike Tools pump, and Lezyne pumps have been out a lot longer, therefore Pro Bike Tools is a knockoff of the Lezyne, typical Shimano.

I use a Lezyne Digital Drive 18k floor pump with the optional "Pro" Presta head. If you are running Presta valves, this pump (or just the head), is a fast, no-nonsense component which you don't have to fumble with. I like that I can put it on and take it off without losing any air, and that the pressure gauge is accurate. This pump was expensive, but with half a dozen rather expensive bikes, I thought it was a good investment.

This thread wasn't about what is the best, or your favorite type of pump, it is about the rare, hard to find, screw on head, who makes it, where can you get it.
Please Google what Clint Eastwood had to say about opinions.

So I did locate another pump with a screw on head, and it is only $11 !!!

If you are still looking and are open to electric rechargeable bike pumps, the Fantikk X9 Ace has a screw-on/threaded connection for both Schrader and Presta valves, along with a gauge that has a 1 PSI margin of error. I use it for my bike tires, the Airzound bike horn, and even to top off my car tires (it can inflate one full car tire). I bought it for $35 around this time last year. I like it and I would recommend it.

I like Fantikk so much that I am now looking to screw on a quick connect/plug-in chuck to the threaded connection so I can inflate the Airzound quickly while riding, especially since it is winter. My situation is the exact opposite of yours.

How do you know this Fanntikk has a 1psi margin of error? Was it marketing or have you actually verified this with a calibrated system? Certainly their website doesn't give confidence of that kind of accuracy in any verifiable situation. It looks like a serviceable multi purpose thing that can inflate tires as well. Certainly their mini chainsaw is impressive on paper and would be fun to play with for a bit but I am always skeptical of the modern no-name gadgets that can do everything at a low price and have great claims on weight or accuracy. Not necessarily a bad product for the price but just leave the gimmicks and marketing out and just say hey it's cheap it works relatively well and have a great day.

Though the idea of being able to refill one of those AirZounds on the fly is an interesting idea. I never replaced my old one after the hose got abraded by the tire but for the time I had it, it was good to have and wish I had the ability to keep it inflated.

You can contact Andrew (in Canada), the inventor of Airzound, and he should mail a hose for your Airzound at a reasonable price. He is an approachable nice guy.

FYI, one refill of Airzound lasts for 25-30 blasts or 60-70 miles of riding for me. Usually, if I fill it once in the morning, I do not have to refill it before getting home at night. However, I would like to use the Airzound more on the road and assert myself against car drivers, so having the ability to inflate it more quickly in the winter is nice to have.

With respect to Fantikk, I did not calibrate its digital guage with any other device, but after using it for almost a year between bikes, the Airzound, and my car, I feel that its digital gauge is pretty accurate or close to being accurate.

I think I got rid of it, this was probably 14 years ago. However I might reach out anyway. Thanks!

That seems higher than what I used to get but it has been a while maybe I need a new one.

Ok gotcha I would get rid of the 1 psi accuracy if it is not verified with anything. Glad it is working but no need to hype that part.

OK, review time!


But first availability: you cannot buy these as of Dec 1, 2025, they are sold out. Perhaps there was a run on them after I posted them.

Second, some pics:




the Croc is size 10 US

note that the pumps are quite different size, the larger one pumped up a near empty tire to driveable measured by finger pinch in 22 pumps, the smaller took 44 pumps. The gauge on the large pump said about 65psi but I question that, I did not have time to check it with an accurate gauge, I will post that when I have time. By the way the smaller pump is a Lezyne knockoff.



here they are compressed, the small pump could be mounted on frame (12 1/2" long), and in fact comes with hardware to do that, but I do not recommend, see pic below, the head could easily come off when you ride making the pump useless and now you'd have to find a replacement. The large pump is 17" long and is really a small floor pump although I suppose if you didn't mind the weight and size you could carry along. The Schrader connection works well with both pumps. The Presta: the small pump I recommend attaching only the head, then screw in the hose, and then reverse when full. It is likely going to leak all the air when attaching, and a small amount when detaching. The larger pump with the long hose attaches much better and leaks very little air when attaching/unattaching. The large pump has an interesting feature, when you get about 10 psi in the tire, it automatically extends after compressing, you might like this, although when you are done pumping it makes it more difficult to handle the pump since it is extended (31" !!) I'd say the small pump is more bullet proof (assuming you don't lose the head) but only time will tell.

I have a Fanttik X9. It is not real fast. I’ve compared it to two SKS digital gauges I use for consistency. The SKS reads to within 0.6 psi. One high and one low. tenths on a manifold I made. The X9 reads to nearest psi. After over a year of use it still within 1 psi of the SKS gauges. One SKS reads 0.1 psi below the X9 at 40 and 60 psig. The other SKS is higher by 0.5 psi. Of course my gauges are not listed as NIST traceable. I got it based on Syd and Macky’s review. Yes I was influenced.

My only complaints are it is slower than my Bontrager track pump (10 psi low) and the screw on set up for presta has to be perfectly perpendicular to the valve stem when screwing on. Otherwise it will run but won’t fill. Odd it does not leak but just shows zero.

Buy a Presta to Schrader adapter and use the Schrader side of the X9. I believe I paid a dollar at my local Walmart, and it was the Slime brand.

Bicyclists should not complain about slowness, as we are the slowest vehicles with tires on the road. I consider filling the tires with air, once every two weeks, as part of my ride preparation (along with other things we prepare before the ride) and have learned not to complain about it.
