I have used my JoeBlow on the cars, on the bikes, and for launching water rockets skywards to the amusement of my children and a pack of cubs. Highly recommended !

Well, you say that, but just a couple of weeks ago I had the misfortune to have need to inflate Lady Skol's 2.2 MTB tyre from flat with my pocket rocket and it didn't take very long at all. The 7 other people that were waiting for me didn't appear to get bored!
but was it sub zero and pitch black ?

The footpump I use for my car tyres failed a few days ago. The JoeBlow stepped in and did the job of pumping up car tyres easily. I won't be bothering to replace the footpump!

+1.

I had a slow puncture on one of my car wheels a few months ago and I was amazed at how much easier it was to use the Joe Blow compared to my foot pump.

I love my £6 Aldi track pump; it performs flawlessly and I think the gauge is close enough but I've never really tested it. It does give the same pressure reading (but with much smaller increments and much easier to read) as my Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HGV (which is extremely difficult to read - I used a magnifying glass and then put a ring of insulation tape to mark where the gauge needs to be for my tyres).

The Aldi pump has a double head for presta and schraeder - rubber push-on with lever 'lock' and the whole pump costs less than you can get a replacement hose/head for most brand-name pumps.

I really liked my cheap an cheerful Zefal frame-fitting pump (£4.49) but I don't like holding my pump directly on to the valve, I prefer a hose, and I like a gauge hence the purchase of the Lezyne.
