In a shop environment a compressor is a worthy investment, in a box with sound proofing to keep the sanity of the mechanics. Floor pumps like the all metal Silica pumps are rebuildable as are most of the Topeak.

Hi Folks,
 
Over the year we have tried many different floor pumps with the pump heads not lasting more than a year.  What brand and model floor pump has been the most reliable for you?  We prefer floor pumps with the gauge close to the floor since the gauges don’t bust when the pump falls over.  We are okay with either smart head pumps or dual headed (Presta/Schrader) on opposite ends of the heads.
 
Thanks,
Andy
