Can anybody recommend a good track pump?

Re:

I have a very similar Lezyne track pump to the first one linked and it's easily the best bike related purchase I've made in years. It seemed like a lot of money to spend on a pump, but it was well worth it (and I bought it with cashback I'd saved up rather than real money so it was all the better!)

I know a lot don't like these but ours must be about 10 years old and is still going as good as new

Re:

My friend bought me a Giant Control Tower 2 for my birthday in 2013 and it seems like a very nice pump to me

I bought the Lidl one - valve broke straight away but a replacement valve from ebay has worked ever since

Topeak's Joe Blow Sport II about £25 from Wiggle....I recommend it.........Presta or Schraeder....reliable and easy to use....sturdy.

I had a Lidl one previously and it kind of lasted two years but the valve connector was always rubbish - it was OK for low pressure Schrader but Presta required one hand on the valve and another on the pump... which is how it broke. Too much force unevenly loaded on one side of the pump handle and it snapped right off. I'm not a brand snob and like a lot of Lidl stuff, you can get a lot for your money sometimes but in this case the sheer quality of the Lezyne pump actually makes inflating tyres almost enjoyable!

Had a number of Joe Blows, most broke within a month, replaced after about 6 months with a top end Blackburn. That lasted about 3 months, the second one broke almost immediately. Still usable, so we slung it in the back of the car.
Bought a Rennkompressor, that's 6 years old now, broke the head after 4 years, new one cost me a fiver.
Got a second Rennkompressor in the sales (half price) that's been rolling around in the back of the car/van for 3 or 4 years. Replaced the knackered Blackburn that we had in there before.
Neither of them have missed a beat, except for the failed head, which after being used daily for 4 years, I'm really not bothered about. FWIW, that head isn't available anymore.
It's got the volume to do tubeless, and the power to run track tubs up to 150+

Interesting. Still fancying the lezyne at present. Not much more that a joe blow and a chuck with release valve.

Re:

Got the Lezyne Classic Floor Drive and it is a fabulous bit of kit. Had it for a year and so far worth every penny. I have decored a couple of valves but that was because i wasn't paying attention when screwing the chuck on. Edited and changed the pump type to the one i have

Pity they don't make the poverty spec silca I used to have anymore, bought that as a teenager as i couldn't afford a renn.
Replaced the head 3 or 4 times, greased the plunger infrequently.
Have up the ghost after ~20 years.
