Such thing as a BIFL floor pump?

I think Silca is what you want. But I don’t know if you want to pay for it :D
Yeah, their prices are like <$100 to $800! LOL But the highest end ones have a pretty robust lifetime warranty.
I've been looking at their pumps because they have some pretty good black friday deals right now.
I bought myself their MTB pump for my birthday. It is one of the few that is accurate down to 3psi and with parts availability it should be serviceable for life.
My other is a Specialized Airtool which also has replacement parts available and so far has needed zero service for almost a decade.
Which pump?
After looking at more pumps, there seems to be a "sweet spot" where these are more accurate at different pressures, and "gravel pumps" seem to be what I'm after, being most accurate at <50 PSI. I've got small-wheeled stuff that needs to be pumped (trailers, folding bike, etc.), so a lot of the tires I'm pumping will be in the 30-40 psi range.
I believe MTB pumps are also better in these lower pressures.
The Terra is their MTB pump.
Maybe that's why it's the one that seems to fit my requirements the most... except that they told me that the Terra isn't designed to be serviceable, which I'm not thrilled to hear.
It does have a lifetime warranty, so you'd be covered either way, but still. That just bugs me.
I may still consider it, though. Considering the brand, and their history, my concerns about it failing and having to replace it aren't that bad.
