With my flat tire the other day, I found the hose on my punishment pump doesn't fit the valvestem properly. I could replace the hose or something, but it's already had at least five hoses, and it has a broken handle with a hacked on piece of wood. It's also miserable to use, so I think it's time for retirement.
That brings me to my question. I'm currently using a Joe Blow pump for my apta, and I really like that a lot. Once I test the valve for fit, I may get another one for the truck if it works. The problem with the JB is it has a lot of plastic, and looks generally delicate for banging around in a work truck. Is there anything better(rugged) available?
Requirements...
At least 160# of pressure. More is better
Durable
Fixable, especially if it's expensive. Replacement parts that cost almost as much as a new unit isn't very useful
Manual. I like the dependability of using my arms, with no electric, and few mechanical parts to fail
edit:
I suppose since I have a Milwaukee saw now I could possibly be convinced a Milwaukee battery pump is worth getting, but it would have to be the second coming or something to interest me over the reliability of a manual pump.
