Such thing as a BIFL floor pump? (lemmy.ca)

Hey guys,

So... I've been using a small electric pump for my bikes and e-scooters over the last few years.

They are nice, but really aren't designed to be used as often as I do.

I'm a fan of low-tech gear, so I'm looking for a good quality floor pump that will last the next 20+ years. Obviously, it needs to be serviceable and have easily replaceable parts. And it needs to be accurate, for sure. LOL

I'm reading reviews from Wirecutter and various cycling sites, and they are all over the place with recommendations. I think a lot of their choices are driven by affiliate links, so there's that.

Does this unicorn exist?

I'm a Park Tool fan and own quite a few of their bike tools, but I'm not a fan of their chuck style (that lever-type chuck). It does look like they sell just about every replacement part for their home mechanic floor pump, so I'll keep them in mind!
