A few Lezyne's on offer at CRC, I have the Classic which is spot on but maybe a tad above your budget. Worth a look though.

I have a Park PFP5 which Merlin had on sale a while ago.

Not really anything not to like about it. Steel body, wide feet, pumps air. The only time I had an issue with it at all it turned out the thumbscrew on the hose from teh bottom to the gauge needed tightening back up. There are times when a slightly longer hose might be nice, but really this is a thing for all track pumps.

I'd buy another... 😉

Had a good Bontrager one for Christmas I spotted in Evans. Think it was £25. Plan to keep one at work for commuting needs.

Topeak Joe blow sport 2..
I got mine from halfords about 6 weeks ago as they were doing them for the same price as Merlin's.
At the time was £27.50

There currently £31.50 so still cheaper than Merlin's..

Got a Joe Blow max - not impressed with the valve - too easy to leak air when removing.

My old SKS was miles better but eventually the gauge went on it

I've got a Specialized Airtool Comp,but the Sport version is £35 and the main difference is the dial on mine is 75mm and the Sport's is 50mm.Mine has been ultrareliable,and spares are available.
