I bought one of theirs a few years ago as I needed a disposable pump, it is pretty crap, may not be the same version though. But for q disposable bit of kit it did the job

It pumps stuff up just fine, but the pressure gauge is mainly decorative.

£12 ? They used to knock 'em out at £5 a go.

Probably works well enough, I've been warned before that ones with plastic shafts won't last long so might be worth checking.

I have a cheap Beto one from Amazon one that's been working fine the last few years. The pressure gauge works, I'm not sure if it's accurate but it's at least consistent.

Pretty crap. Mine fell apart after 3 months. I have a cheap red Halfords pump that has been used and abused for over 5 years.

I work for them so may be biased, I bought one a few years ago and it's been okay, the ones currently on sale are much better quality though and seem to push out more air per pump as it were.

I am loving mine tbh. The clamp's not as good as my old minoura but the handlebar doofer is genius.

I have an Aldi one picked up in the last cycling sale. Pretty good bit of kit for £6.

I bought the Aldi 'premium' one about a year ago as a spare, reduced to £8 ish.
Feels solid and has been knocking around in the boot of my car for most of that time.
It has also successfully seated fat tyres with furious pumping.

Aldi one here as well. Pumps tyres up, pressure gauge appeared to be accurate when only pumping MTB tyres up, after inflating a couple of road tyres its now more misleading than accurate.

Wiggles Lifeline trackpump is only £15 with free p&p and gets great reviews.

I have one at home and one at work, both have been brilliant for road bike pressures for a few years now.
