Strengths: Definitely one of the best. Previous reviewers must have been the unlucky two bc ours - ALL of our Park Pumps (plural!) we use for our 2 busy bike shops in downtown Toronto - have lasted the longest out of all the other dozens of other pumps.
AND it's easiest to use (simplest, most logical head design: 2 clearly different holes on same side of head for PV and SV + long metal lever that locks DOWN, literally + clear gauge ontop + hose that starts high to best reach those high valve points! + ergonomically curved and comfortable wide grips).
AND of themost efficient. There may be others that r quicker but are they as easy to use/well-designed/last long??
AND it's totally serviceable!
It's our official bike pump by choice and experience. Period.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: It's our official professional bike pump by choice, trial and experience. Period.

Strengths: It looks like it works...Weaknesses: It doesn't work well at all.Bottom Line: It doesn't work. I have been suffering through ownership of this product for 3+ years. After paying what I remember to be about $80 I expect it to last. Turns out, it was never an efficient pump from the beginning. It takes forever to inflate a tire to high pressure (road) and leaks air like no other. It used to rip the valve stems off my tubes upon removal of the head (good times), Park recalled it and sent out a rebuild kit and it still sucked. For being suck heavy construction it really does not work anywhere close to as good as pumps half the price ($45 Specialized Air Tools kills the park!). Stay away from this product, its a huge miss.

Strengths: Gauge is on top where you can see it.Weaknesses: Made in China.Tips over easily.Lever should be reversed lift up to put on press down to lock on.Bottom Line: Made in China.Not worth the money.I used it before I noticed it was made in China otherwise I would have sent it back.I thought Park Tools were US made.I have a Specialized which is 5yrs old and needed new rubber inserts which I got from Specialized for free and now works great like it always did.So don't waste your money.I'm sure there are other pumps made in China and if thats the case spend as little as possible.
