Default Recommended high-volume floor-type bicycle pumps?

om...
Our trusty floor bicycle pump is falling apart after many years of use,
mostly for maintaining automobile tire pressure.

So, I'm looking to replace it with a *high-volumetric-capacity*
floor-type hand bicycle pump.

What brands/models are recommended based on durability/reliability,
volumetric capacity, accuracy of built-in pressure gauge, etc.?

[Note that I am NOT interested in a portable car battery powered pump,
which don't work much better than high-capacity floor-type hand pumps
anyway. If I ever need the higher capacity (and so far have not needed
it), I'd get a refillable air canister (the 6 gallon, 100 psi type).]

So, what do you recommend?

Thanks.

I just bought an air compressor at Sears for $119.95 (now on sale for $99!)
and it goes up to 125 psi and will work with all other air tools. I was
going to do the same thing you did, but considering the cost of a mechanical
pump I decided to look at a compressor: now I don't even have to bother
pumping. It has a built-in regulator so you can set your pressure and it
will only inflate to that number. It's compact and inexpensive. It comes
with an accessory kit- the tire pressure guage is cheap, but other than that
it is a study product. I'd give it a thought. Here is a link to the
product:
