with no proof of purchase required. I'm amazed at how much air it moves with the amount of effort
required compared to some others I have used.

I'll second the Blackburn endorsement. I've had a TP2 for many (at least 15) years. When the original hose developed a leak, they sent me a replacement free, no questions asked.

Topeak has a 2 year warranty on their pumps.. if you only get a year out of it then you're doing it wrong. I've had my Joe Blow Pro i got at the REI garage sale cheap for like 3-4 years now and i had an issue with the head unit and i took it to the LBS and no questions asked replaced it for free. Just bought a new gauge/valve assembly today and it will be here tomorrow probably since I live like 45 mins from their office. 12 bucks to put another 4+ years of life on a normally 80$ pump is pretty good.

Have owned a few in the many years and I have to say the Nashbar L'Orange has been quite nice. Guess I've owned it for about a year now and have been happy.

I see my question answered. I'll give them a call. Surprised (pleasantly) that there's no proof of purchas asked for.

I was in your situation last fall. I ended up with the Specialized Air Tool Comp at $50. Works really well so far.
