For home usage this pump is perfect. It requires minimal effort and time to inflate tyres with both Presta and Schrader valves and my pump is showing no signs of wear after regular usage for well over a year now. The pump handle is also ergonomically well designed. For professional usage [in a cycle workshop] I have also used this unit and whilst it is the product of choice for the home user, continuous daily usage requires a hardier valve attachment. That said, NO pumps in this price range have such a design (we're talking upwards of £100 here). If you need a track pump, go buy one of these!
