  • Generally known as a "floor pump". Commented Apr 9, 2018 at 21:36
  • You need to consider the tires you will inflate and buy a pump to match. A low-pressure pump isn't good for high-pressure tires, and vice-versa. Commented Apr 9, 2018 at 21:38
  • Not a feature, but I sometimes wish a floor pump had a small storage compartment for ball valve needles or spare valve caps. Mine's got a small film canister taped to the upright. Commented Apr 10, 2018 at 0:26

    @Criggie - Some come with a plastic clip to hold ball needles. But I don't know how well this works -- whether the needle is apt to get knocked off. Commented Apr 10, 2018 at 2:17
  • I have 3 or 4 cheap floor pumps that have been broken or won't pump high pressure or otherwise have been rejected. Now I have a full-metal body Nashbar pump with a nice wooden handle and I love it. Commented Apr 10, 2018 at 20:56
