GIYO High Pressure Floor Pump - GF-55PT  Thom Chubb, Holder
I bought this pump for the stellar Weekly Special price and thought I had found a bargain. Unfortunately the valve head broke within two weeks of purchase, so that it cost me $8.50 per use, which when you think about it, is not very good value. Otherwise the pump was fine to use, and not particularly hard work to get up to pressure.

crappy velve head  tyler hamilton, STRATHFIELDSAYE
good low cost pump shot hose, the valve head broke so had to fix it but still not very good

A so-so floorpump  Jonathan Wee, WILLETTON
It's more of a pressure pump, instead of volume which makes it easier for high pressures, so that I don't have to do handstands on the pump.

Like
- the metal barrel
- the T7 price
- the red arrow on the dial to set a target and pump away without having to keep checking whether you've pumped to the right pressure
- the flatted top of the handle to rest your hands
- the idea of a presta/schrader pump head

Don't like
- the execution of the pump head; to pump presta valves you'd have to engage the valve very deep into the pump head which have led to damaged valve 'cores?', to twist-seal the pump head is not as easy as a lever
- I'm not that tall at 1.75m, and I still find this pump a little too short
- hose is little short when you've mounted a bike on a workstand
