Hear that Jerry, that guy called you a wuss!
Are we talking about floor pumps as well? The big Zefal one made from plastic tubing pumps on both the push and pull stroke. It isn't as cool looking as the Silca floor type by far, but is more efficient. The gauge is in the handle, so also helpful for you folks who might have gotten a tad near sighted. (I'm getting thin on top but the eyes are still good). I hated the locking part that pops over the stem (it leaked), so I replaced it with a shiny brass presta fixture.
