Strengths: Well machined, simple, good pump volume.Weaknesses: Uses o-rings to seal the tube to the pump body. These are easy to lose and without them the pump will not pump beyond 30 psi.Bottom Line: It works great for presta or schrader, but the o-ring issue needs to be addressed.

Strengths: Lightweight @ 100g, compact, HAS a HOSE, good volume per stroke, great looking aluminum construction -- no plastic bits.Weaknesses: see comments belowBottom Line: The short hose is stored inside the pump shaft which keeps it from needing to be clipped to the side of the pump. Attach the hose to the pump and then to the valve stem and start pumpin'. I brought my 26" tire from ~18psi to ~35psi in about 40 strokes, which is about 3x as fast as my Cannondale pump, and the hose allows you to get into a comfortable position while you pump. When removing the hose, I did lose a bit of air from the tire, but it wasn't much all -- maybe one stroke's worth. I only mention this because with my old mini, I could pull it off quickly without losing any. There is no gauge, which isn't a weakness in my book, but some folks really want their precision.
