Floor pump prices

Would anyone know where the best deals on floor pumps can be got?
Bike shops sell them for $60-$90. Kmart sells them, but I'm not sure
of their quality.

super cheap auto are selling a 2 HP 240V compressor for $99, "if you buy any
air tool". If that includes there "air tool kit" for $45.99, then for $145
you get the compressor, 5m hose,spray gun, blower, degreasing gun and a tyre
inflating gun. BUT this would max out about 120psi. if you want more they
have a 12V one(like matthew is talking about) that is good for 160psi, with
hose and tyre inflator for $97(alot more portable to)
sorry l couldn't be any help on the floor pumps

I'd just go to your local bike shop and buy one. Having correctly
inflated tyres will pay the price of the pump off in a year or two with
reduced flats.

Apart from bike shops, I doubt whether the average person needs a
compressor for the once a week pumping up of their tyres. Sounds like an
unneccessary expense to me.

I have a Serfas Airbones, its got both schrader and presta heads on it,
and it was pretty cheap, say less than $60? Perhaps try and dig one of
these up, mine seems to be lasting *fine*, but its only a year or so
old.

super cheap auto have a 12v one good for 120psi for $6.99

People who have Silica pumps are usually the last pump they buy, 17 to
20 years service. Only needs the little $2 washer replace every few
years. Lets face it, thats how stuff is supposed to last, brilliant.
Last looked they were $69. I'm getting one when my Taiwanese one
finally
sh*ts itself.

Yepperz.. SILCA floor pumps all the way!
I paid about $60 for mine and I wouldn't touch
a compressor or frame pump if the Silca was
handy.

Buy the bike shop one. The good floor pumps are fantastic. Dont worry
about compressors. Its effortless to pump up to 120-150 with a good floor
pump. If its too much of an effort to pump up this with a good floor pump
then I suggest it would be too much effort to ride a bike at all.

I have a Silca which I have used for about 12 years but those Kmart foot
pumps for about $12 to $14 can't be beat for tyres up to 90psi (after that
the hoses tend to blow off the pump). They are handy to have lying about the
car port/shed for the kid's bikes etc whereas the Silca cost me about $50 so
I tend to look after it more.

You only pump yoour tyres once a week ?

I do it every time I ride, I like to know what pressure my tyres are at.
