apopuriThe pump works great for my needs. I looked up quite a few reviews for this pump and saw that it mostly negative. I decided that I would give it a shot though, the pump was only 20 bucks. I'm happy to report this pump is really rock solid. The reviews might have been for an older version of this pump because mine works flawlessly. The guage is well made and the material used to make the pump are rock solid. It is compatible with both schrader and presta valves. My road tires have to be pumped up to around 95-100 and I really had absolutely no trouble doing so. It was very easy and the pump was steady as could be. Since the pump was rated to 125 psi, I imagine it would be pretty hard to pump anywhere past 110 on the pump. This was great for my needs but just make sure that your bike doesn't need a pump that can handle higher pressures. I'd recommend this to a friend without a doubt.

A GuestI've had one of these pumps for about 3 years now. Bought it while I was in college and it has always done what I've needed it to do. Used it for MTB and lower pressure road bike tires; I think you would have trouble getting it to pump higher than about 100psi. I originally bought it after being scolded for buying a pump at Walmart.
I've only ever had two major issue with the pump, but i think they were both partly my fault. I dropped it once while packing my car for the summer and broke one of the two plastic clips holding the top on. It still works, but i have to be careful pulling up all the way on the pump, as the top can pop off if hit very hard. The second issues is that the gauge reads about 15psi low. I didn't notice this until i used it to check and top off a motorcycle once, and then compared with a tire pressure gauge. I am an engineer and have a habit of taking stuff apart and one time i removed and buggered with the post on the bottom of the pressure gauge. I think this might have been how the pump was calibrated...
In all I love this pump and am looking to get another. I've used it a lot over the past three years, including on many bikes, on motorcycles, on cars and pumping my cars spare tire up from 0 psi once.

pauldotcomGreat looking pump. Too bad it broke after the third use (no lie). The top of the pump is made of plastic. One of the clips broke off deeming the pump useless.
Also, when I used it, it was held on to valves VERY tight. It required way to much effort to simply remove it from the valve.
