I bought the Topeak JoeBlow Pro X Floor Pump as a replacement to a decade old floor pump. The Topeak JoeBlow Pro X Floor Pump is a superior floor pump that I would highly recommend. I really like that the pressure gauge is positioned higher up on the unit to clearly see the pressure read out. The stance of the base is solid and does not rock in any way, metal base is flat. I also like the fact that the extension tube can be used for short or long scenarios, I will often pump my tires up while my bike is still mounted on the hitch rack on the back of my vehicles. Lastly, the head unit that attaches to the bike tire valve is great. You press it on to and it secures and it holds and locks with no leakage.
I purchased this pump as a replacement for a 9 yr old Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Bike Pump. The previous pump developed an irreparable leak from the air release button near the gauge on the pump. I have replaced the O-ring inside the old pump and the rubber gasket that contacts the inner tube valve twice over the last 9 years. The new pump has three upgrades of interest First, the air release button is on the hose, not the pump. If it fails, I'm hoping I can replace the hose and not the entire pump. Second, the gauge is substantially larger and easier to read. Most helpful for an aging cyclist. Third, the hose is longer and, unlike its predecessor, will reach from the floor to a bike on a stand. I've only had it a month, but it appears to be better made that the previous model. The head easily locks on to a presta valve and (so far) does not leak. I have not used it on a schrader valve.
Works great, good product. The gauge is large and close to the top making it better to read than anything I've seen before.

It says in the sales info that the pump head with work with either Schrader, presta, or Dunlop valves. That is not true, you need to use an adapter to use this pump on a presta
Valve. Very cumbersome to use the adapter. Never would have bought this model if this was spelled out. Great pump, but not for s presta valve. Very disappointing.
The Topeak Joeblow Pro X floor pump is excellent! The gage is up top and easy to read and has a large padded handle. Glad I made the decision to purchase.
I had a 10 year old JoeBlow Pro that finally petered out. I loved the pump so I decided to buy another and it exceeds my expectations. The handle and gage are larger, the pump is taller, and the chuck is better making the pump much easier to use. I tested the gage against a digital gage and it was right on. In short, its a great, accurate, well built pump.
I use this pump with Presta Valves exclusively with no problems
