Zefal tire pump as seen on my "touring" bike. It works on both Presta and Schrader valves. With the long length it pushes a lot of air with each pump so it doesn't take too long to inflate a skinny tire to 90 psi.
Since it's so cold now, temperatures in negative numbers this morning, I decided to get the bike on the trainer in the basement useable. I have another identical pump down there just for that purpose. However, it's missing the little plunger that depresses the valve stem on the tube. My first thought was I'd pull the one out of the working pump and duplicate it, but I decided to check and see what a new pump would cost. I checked online and I didn't see one like it listed. I brought the good one in and pumped up the tire on the trainer so I'm in business there now, but I need to decide if I want to fart around fixing the other pump, bring my air tank in, bring the good pump in when I need it, or just buy some other type of pump.
This shouldn't require all this thinking. I just want to use the trainer a couple days per week until the weather warms up and I can ride outside. It just pains me to toss something I'm capable of repairing.
Stay warm. It looks like the ice storm down south is going to be a rough one.
