I use the steel high volume bicycle pump from Kmart. It has the lever locking valve attachment. I have not had any problems with this pump on my cars or bicycles. Funny thing however - I spend more time putting air in the bicycles than the car, they must leak more. If this bicycle pump does does not do the job, I have a 220 volt 5 hp air compressor that will get up past 225 psi. I used to use air tools and do my own body work, but not too much now. "Curtis L.
