A LBS recommended a bottom end Blackburn, which works well and has a double
chuck head: double, good; the annular valve lock is awkward, though. Sub
$40. The shop man claimed this model is the one they used in the shop.

Even better: Big Specialized floor pump for $10 at Goodwill, with what I
think is a dual use (as opposed to dual chuck) head with nice, long, strong
steel locking lever. At first I hated the design: shove it onto a Presta and
lose all the air before you can get the thumblock locked. But after I
learned the technique, much prefer it to the dual chuck kind. I still am not
proficient with Shraeder valves, though, and for those -- dtr's bike with
20" wheels, beater -- use a $10 foot pump from Pep Boys.
