Who makes a good durable floor pump that will handle presta and schrader?

Thanks,
Rex

I use a “JOEBLOW” ,nice action, works with both valve types, easy to read gauge.
it was only 30 bucks or so.

i prefer the specalized air tool, works well, solid solid pump, and never stops working

+1 for Joe Blow. Great prices at Amazon.com.

I have one of those Nashbar Orange floor pumps. I bought it several years ago and haven’t had any problems with it. You don’t need to switch sides or anything when going between presta and schrader, the head has a built in adaptor.

I second the Blackburn Airtower. It is the best pump I’ve ever owned.

Specialized AirTools are awesome. My friend, a former mech at the largest bike shop in Boulder, uses them exclusively, as does his shop. That makes sense, because they’re also one of the largest Specialized distributors out there. However, three other smaller shops, two of which don’t even carry Specalized (in favor of Orbea and Cervelo), use them as well.

JoeBlow are nice. My family races BMX and theirs gets a lot of use, and it’s held up.
