I love my Lezyne pumps.
They unscrew the valve cores if you overtighten them. Took me a couple of goes to figure it out as I'm a bit thick, but not had it happen for 2-3 years now. 😃
Perhaps I’m being thick here but I’ve not quite worked out what the benefit of a pressure release valve is.
The benefit is for when you're attached to a schrader valve when it allows you to deflate. On a convertible chuck you can't get rid of it when you have a presta so it's just there not serving a purpose.
Then they gave it to a marketeer and voila, tits on Tom cat but now it's got a name.
As you asked for a pump recommendation that has a hose and doesn’t unscrew removable valve cores I’ll second the Silca Tattico. Absolutely bloody brilliant pump. Don’t bother with the Bluetooth crap though that’s what thumbs are for.
Topeak Race Rocket includes a valve core tightener-upper.

My pump came with a black presta push on valve adaptor. I just use that as it quicker and easier. This does mean that the hose is 'loose' but as I carry it in a backpack, it is fine.
The pump hose onto the valve doesn't need to be super tight, just needs to be secure. I've had the core come out maybe be once in 10 years or so I've been using Lezyne pumps.
