Joe Blow Valves Fall Apart Every 3 months
Rating: 1 (2008-10-05)
I've gone through 3 Joe Blow pumps in 9 months. The overall pump is sturdy but the valve falls apart with only minor use in a very short period of time. Lucky for me my local bike shop let me swap them out for free. It's really a crying shame that this company doesn't get it, the valves are just cheap plastic and not on par with the rest of the pump.

Topeak Joe Blow Sport Floor Pump w/Gauge Steel Barrel w Gauge Yellow
Pump of reasonably good quality. The strongest and most unique part of the pump is the Schraeder/Presta valve head. When put on the valve stem of your tire, the head attaches snuggly to both the Schraeder and Presta style valves. An aluminium lever latches the valve head of the pump tightly to the stem and valve - uniquely tight.
The pump has a strong construction with a steel base and a padded pump handle. Air gauge is accurate and beefy.
Overall, the pump provides a better than average tire filling experience. Topeak has taken all the faults of other competitors and improved on them and have produced a product that will last a very long time with good service.
Good pump but small gauge increments of 4 PSI is unwelcome
Rating: 2 (2008-03-21)
It's a solid pump with an easy to use valve head. What I have found frustrating is the gauge.
The numerical increments are every 20 PSI: 0 / 20/ 40 / 60 / 80 et cetera. That would be fine but the marked increments between numerals is 4 PSI. For example, after "20" the tiny hash marks indicate 24, 28, 32, and 36. With the gauge near the bottom of the pump it is nearly impossible to discern the hash marks while pumping.
This pump is fine for inflating my bicycle tire to 80 PSI but near impossible to use with my motorcycle tire at 33 PSI. If you have have better than 20/20 vision and use a base-4 numerical system, this is the ideal pump for you!
Very easy to use

I'm very pleased with this pump. It's by far the best pump I've ever used. Before, I use to struggle to fill my tires to the point I thought was properly inflated, but the first time I used this pump, not only did I find that my tires were actually drastically under-inflated, but was really quick and easy to get it to the right pressure.

I've had this pump also for about a month.
Pumps up tires/tubes with Shrader valves OK.
The Presta valve side of the twin head does not work properly with short stemmed Presta valves. It seems that the pump nozzle has difficulty in forming a good seal with short stemmed Presta valves. The pump will only pump up to around 75 PSI into the tire/tube. Pressures beyond 75 PSI appear to "seal" the valve, which prevents further tire/tube inflation. The extra pressure just pressurizes the pump hose only!
Pumping to higher pressures is a bit difficult. Especially when compared to easier working pumps such as Specialized and Blackburn brands which I have also.
An average pump.
Not recommended for use with short stemmed Presta valves.
