Planet Bike 1002-3 ALX Floor Pump with Love Handle

This pump is capable of easily delivering over 100psi. It's ideal for owners of both Presta and Schrader valve tires because it can inflate both without any reconfiguration. The attached gauge is easy to read and very convenient. I'm very happy with it.

I got tired of trying to inflate the bike tires on my family's four bikes with my hand held portable pump and bought the Planet Bike 1002-3 ALX based on price and ratings. I wasn't disappointed.
The hots:
1) "Love Handle" - two hand grips at just shy of a 90 degree angle comfortably fit the angle your hands are at when held in front of you pushing. The handle is padded plastic that feels fine.

2) The fitting that latches onto the tire is plastic, but of beefy construction with a metal latch. I find it gets great seal on all my bike tires no problem.

3) The gauge is a real treat for me. It's got the various tire types color coded. It was an education for me: I realized I had been chronically under inflating my bike tires for years. Inflating them to the right pressure was easy, quick, and precise. It felt great biking on the correctly inflated tires.

4) Aluminum tube looks great and inspires confidence.

Nots? Maybe all the plastic parts (handle, base, fittings) means it will not last as long. At the rate I use a bike pump and how beefy all these parts feel to me I think this will last a long long time.

All in all - the bottom line is that I was able to inflate my tires with very little effort, and in very little time, with great precision. This thing made inflating all those bike tires, if not an absolute pleasure, at least much less of a chore.

Bought it for $35 (with shipping). Works well and looks good. Designed to be light which makes it good for carrying and transporting, but does make it a little unstable when standing on it's own.

It works really well. Comes with a needle for my soccer ball. Great for my road bike. Buy this pump.

Good value for a pump, esp with free shipping. Handle has good ergonomic design and pressure gauge is a big plus.
