I did end up getting a Joe Blow. I like it, but it does have difficulty forming a seal on the presta side (not sure about the Schrader side, since I don't have tubes with Schraders). Odd.

At least I don't leave slime trails.

Saving for the next one...
It has different sides for the valve in question? Interesting - my Blackburn Air Tower 2 just has one "side" and takes either valve with no problem.
If it has a dedicated Presta "side" that isn't working quite right can you return it for a replacement? Seems to me that shouldn't be happening with a brand new pump.
We are Zefal fans. The Zefal Husky floor pump is a beast, Zefal also offers replacement parts but our pump is over 8 years old, is used extensively in the bike shop and never had any issues. The adapter for schrader is chained to the pump so never gets lost and is simple to use.
