Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HP MSRP: $39
This little pump is an instant OJ/ExPo favorite. We've found it to be the perfect pump to keep in a glove box, travel bag, or pannier. At only 175 grams and roughly 10" long it's light enough to be carried on the bike, but it packs far more pump power than your typical mini-pump. Given it's tiny stature, it seems impossible it could inflate a full size 29er tire in less than a week, but it takes surprisingly little time at all. On the high pressure side of things, it pumped up a road tire to 120 psi in less than a minute with very little effort. The tiny foot support provides impressive stability, and the even smaller handle feels very positive in hand. Build quality is typical of everything Lezyne makes––top shelf.
If you're looking for a pump to keep in a travel bag, small traveling tool kit, or a useful pump to keep in a pannier for a long epic bike tour, keep this on your short list. For those with the need to know, there is another version of this pump available with an in-line pressure gauge built into the hose. Clever.
