Hose: Broadly speaking, the longer the hose, the more convenient it is. They vary a lot in size, so check these out before purchasing, especially if you have trouble with your eyesight. Some are mounted on the top, some at the bottom, and some have a pointer so you can set your chosen pressure. Gauge: All our test pumps come with pressure gauges.

Most of our test pumps have chucks that push on to the valve, with a locking lever to keep them in place, though a couple of them have screw-on chucks. Some have a single head unit with reversible washers to switch between the different systems, while others have separate heads. Head: All our test pumps are suitable for both Presta and Schrader valves. The latter gives more stability, but there’s little to choose between them. Our test pumps tended to have a pair of feet either side of the barrel or a triangular base.
