Which bike pump do you like/use?

I can tell you which pump I absolutely hated.... We had a Silca - fancy retro Italian pump, lots of coolness factor. I wanted to throw that thing out of the window more than once. It was soooooo hard to get a good pressure with. I had to lean on the thing with all of my body weight to get 100 psi. Sometimes the gasket would flip over. After a particularly frustrating session I demanded that we go get a new one. Had the Joe Blow ever since.

I *did* throw the Silca across the garage once, after it ripped yet another valve off yet another tube when I was pulling the darn chuck off. Stupid too tight gasket. The cover of the gauge popped off. My husband has never let me live that down. Now I have my own Topeak pump and he can use the precious Silca. I carry a Lezyne Pressure Drive pump on my bike.

Topeak Joe Blow. I like that it has a dual head for Shraeder/Presta.

Also a Topeak Joe Blow user here. We did recently replace the valve head (with a Bontrager), but the pump itself is about 10 y.o., and still going strong.

Oops, I lied. I actually have a Serfas FP-200 pump and while I don't have much to compare it to other than the Silca, I really do like it. It's got a smart-valve thingy so I don't have to use an adapter when I pump up the all the various schrader-valved tires we have (Burley, kid bikes, jog stroller, etc), it's easy to get it up to the pressure I need, comes off the valve when I need it to and not before, etc.
