You may not light this price either but it is quality stuff and I think it does what you want.

I picked one up at Harbor Freight a few years ago and it works great. They still have them and for $8.99 on sale, tough to beat. It is very convenient to fill to correct pressure. The quality seems fine, especially for the price.

My favorite, a classic Milton inflator.  Works great, easy to read and accurate.

I have one like the Harbor Freight one, and it has been so long ago, memory has failed me but I think I got it at an Auto Parts Store.

We have the same style at the shop the guys have been using for several years, plus being thrown around when using.  Usually pull the hose to retract and the guage gets a good smack on the floor.    Take them up to Auto Zone once a year and they have a air guage test board.   I have disagreed by 2# on all of the gauges and they are still just 2#'s off.

@ BonS

does the pump do OK?  i mean run for 2 minuets....check maybe run for 2-3 minutes... how many hours to pump up if your down 10 pounds or so due to a leak and repair?

plus what size is the thing?

Slightly less than forever.  Wink It takes about 1.5 minutes to top off the front tire from 30 psi to 42 psi.
