Absolute best floor pump

I'm looking. I've seen high volume pumps claim to deliver 100psi in 10 strokes and the ability to seat UST mountain tubeless tires, so far the Serfas brand has the FMP-500 which looks great.

Blackburn has some high end pumps like the Tower 5 or Team CSC??

What is the best ultimate and then the best value for around $50-$60?

Specialized

I've got a Specialized Pro that I just can't kill. I've used it for four years and it has traveled, probably 30K miles with me all over the country. In and out of the car, at races, trailheads, etc.. I've tried to hurt it, and I can't!

Yes, the love of your youth. You still keep her picture up there. But it becomes something like that dog that answers to "Lucky". If Silca still made a 1985 (or even better, a 1970) pump, I'd still be using it. I gave up. They are crap today. Get the Specialized Air Tool Pro. Less money and much more pump

I took 11.4's advice on the Specialized pump. Well priced and effective.

I've got a 1982 REG floorpump around in that funky electric blue.
My other pump is a new Blackburn TrackPump Sport2 which seems to do a decent job.
