I’d like an easy to use shock pump for home use only. Weight and bulk don’t matter but ease of use and comfortable pumping does. I’d prefer a simple screw on chuck without any two stage release etc and a gauge that is easy to read and not obscured by my hand when pumping. It would also be nice to have a bleed valve that I don’t accidentally press whilst pumping away. Must be capable of 300psi. What do you have and like?
I've at least 4 and the above is the best by far. Came with my Giant Reign, years ago.
I really like my Lezyne one, I have the analogue one, but my brother has the digital one and they’d really nice as well.
it’s a bit nicer than the 2 YT and 1 Rockshox one I have as well. Although they’re both fine and no complaints.
I think digital ones probably make sense as they’re easier to be accurate with.
Personally, I like the Topeak one with the two screw attachments, which allows you to disconnect without any loss of air.
edit: I think it’s this one:

Been using a Syncros digital for years
+1 for the Topeak mentioned above, got the analogue version - had it a few years now (although the digital might be more precise I just think there's more to go wrong as it's electrical/prob ran out of battery when I need it) YMMV
Maybe I’m being overly princess and the pea but
Giant - could be a goer
Lezyne - have one, good as a compact pump but ergonomically not great and loves getting through batteries that aren’t available in the supermarket like a 2032 is
Topeak - That is what I have but is failing. A fine pump but that extra screw for attachment is an unnecessary faff
Syncross - had one but the electronics failed all too soon
Anyone tried the RockShox 600psi? It looks longer than most which may make it easier to use when repeatedly inflating shock and forks from zero.
Do you carry one around with you too? Because if you do, then the answer is probably another one the exact same, so they read and perform the same.
I have a couple of Beto ones, they're just basic but they do everything well, lasts forever and were inexpensive. Not really a tool you use enough to really need more? Beto make a bunch of other people's pumps
I've only had the analogue Fox/Rock Shox other than this Magura, which is better - comfortable handle, better valve attachement

For the workshop the leyzne floor shock pump

Not too worried on that front as I always check them against a Shockwiz. Not that I think the Shockwiz is any more accurate but it can be used to compare any pump being used inline. What I want here is quick, comfortable and easy to use. I may be hoping for a bit much if I want ergonomics by the looks 😕

It does look like what I want (though being Lezyne probably flawed in some annoying way) but can you actually buy one? I couldn’t see it on the distributors website or in stock at any store

Thanks, Magura goes on the list
