Quite agree about the exercise smugness which follows the use of a manual footpump. Very satisfying. I do find it best to avoid spicy food prior to such exertion though......

Dunno what make mine is, but I've had it for years - (and still have the box it came in as well). It was when Esso used to give out Tiger tokens, and it *cost* me something like 200 or so tokens. Similar model in Argos at the time was something like £20.

This isn't cheap, but its very quiet and very fast, comes with a good quality bag that also holds the ample air line.
It connects by croc clip direct to battery.

Still have the hand pump that came with a Lada - crudely made but suprisingly efficient - much quicker than a footpump and even more excercise!

"much quicker than a footpump"
I nearly bought a bicycle 'track pump' from Lidl on that basis recently, as I think the length is the important thing (or more exactly, the swept volume). I do have an electric one in one of those emergency start boxes, which usefully makes it self-powered, but it's noisy and slow, and the idiotic 0-300 psi gauge annoys me, when I only use the first tenth of the scale!
