A decent foot pump that doesn't break the bank

It's been a few years since I last bought a foot pump and it seems things have moved on since then.

After an inherited Halfords pump broke after 30 years service I replace it with a Ring branded pump about 10 years ago (think it cost about £10). It broke recently so I'm now in the hunt for a replacement. Foot pumps seem to have both gone up in price and gone down considerably in quality. Anything under about £15 seems to be the same piece of junk marketed under multiple names. I'd rather pay a little more if it gets me something that will last but even the £20 pumps look a bit nasty.

I've got a 12v inflator for the car so this is really only a single barrel thing for the bicycle or emergency use. Any suggestions?

Thanks all. Looks like I need to source an old, track pump, cheapest thing because they are all crap

Had missed that other thread, will give it a peruse too.

Right you have all convinced me that a floor/stand/track pump is the way to go rather than another foot pump, at least if keeping to a low budget. I was temped by the double barrel foot pump but at over £40 I don’t think it’s for me given the limited use case I have.

Have gone for a Dunlop branded one of eBay, feedback seems good at least. Not expecting much but if it pumps up the bicycle tyres and the gauge is accurate within about 5psi I’m happy.
