(Since I see these are on sale, I will chime in.)
I have had this pump for so many years I can't say how long; 10+? I bought it so long ago it had a different head, and Lezyne sent me the upgraded head free. I use it 5-6 times a week and I love it; I have exactly ZERO COMPLAINTS, and I can complain about anything, ask my wife.Presta-schrader swap takes 3 seconds; fantastically easy. I use it on my car tires I love it so much.
Pump is easy to stroke in the global scheme of things. It MUST have some friction to make a seal and work, right. I'd say one gets about 2lb/stroke in a 23c road tire if that matters.
Another review comments on the upper clips causing wear on the hose; nope. Again had this for a nominal decade and they aren't clips, they are a perfectly-engineered Lezyne-brilliant piece of a CNC machined chunk of aluminum lovely.
I cannot understand how anyone is going to complain about the thread-on head; it is far superior to the friction-and-lever style and Lezyne has made an engineering masterpiece of it as they do. It takes me 20 minutes of kitting out and grabbing lights and a head unit and water bottles of electrolyte and in that, who cares about 10 seconds of twisting a pump head.
No, this is not cheap. You get what you pay for. It is CNC aluminum not a collection of plastic turds. I have ridden regularly since 1988 and I can think of at least 3 pumps I have thrown in the trash. I can think of numerous heads from named brands that have failed in a couple years.
The Lezyne is perfect and will be for another decade I am sure.

I grew up with shrader style tire valves so when I got my Trek FX3 5 years ago, Presta valves took an adjustment period. I bought a $30 Serfa pump from the local store. For a long time, I thought it was my fault that my fingers were getting smacked when the pump head handle would snap back. And I didn't understand why it was so difficult to get the pump head to seat properly on the valve. After learning that I needed to replace bent valve cores, I decided it was time for a better pump.
I shopped around and picked this one. It's a major improvement. It's so much easier to screw on the chuck head, pump it to exactly the desired PSI and unscrew the chuck. Inflating tires is much easier and pain free.

Aside from a squeak with every pump, this works well. It's my first Lezyne, and I'm still kinda amazed how well the screw-on chock works.

Reviews seem to indicate a lot of people aren't a fan of the screw-on chuck, which is honestly fair. But I like it. The connection is secure and now I'm less likely to bend the valve core stem. Regardless, each pump is precise and consistent. Nothing for me to complain about. The sale price was good and I would imagine this will last me quite a long time. Everything I own from Lezyne is high quality.

As with most Lezyne products I own and use, headlamps and frame pumps, this has some nice features and some problems. The overall balance falling in their favor.
Example one. The gauge is large, easy to read and well protected by base. It is also easy to replace and parts appear to be available. On the negative, it has a tremendous amount of friction and tends to peak hold at 5-10 lbs above the tire pressure unless you tap it, or top out the piston for the next stroke.
I really like the long hose, it is long enough to pump tires on stand, and with slight tension the head hooks into a retainer in the base, effectively constraining the hose, handle and plunger. I do not understand the additional clips at the top which will probably dramatically shorten the life of the hose by fraying the jacket, and are seemingly redundant.
The controversial part for most people is the screw on nozzle. It works well, I find it easy to use, so I don't mind it.
The plunger seals well, the stroke is long, and the diameter is such that it is a good combination of volume and force for road tires. Mine has developed a wheeze and slight scratching as I pump. I am going to open it and see what up.
I am using it and hoping the the sticky gage wears in and reads more accurately, and going to see if the noisy pumping is a lubrication issue, or something else that is easy to fix. After that I guess I decide whether I keep it or not. I like the basic design, the look, the long hose, the big gage and the availability of parts. Not sure if the problems balance that out.
I have been a regular customer for 9 years, so I've got to mention that I tried to ask about the gage issue, but the phone went unanswered, and a follow up email has not been answered for over a week now. Customer service from BTD has always been good before and I am disappointed

Substantial product, especially like the screw on fittings for either type of valve, gauge is large and easy to read.

I the pump to appear to have great engineering and design details however upon use I found rotating the barrel attachment to the valve stem difficult because of the finger force needed to rotate to a tight position (which my wife gave up on and went back to the old pump) and the barrel will not fit over a valve extender. So basically I can't use this pump. Looks nice sitting in the corner...
Review by bikeAllWinter
The mechanism for screwing onto the valve stem has worked really well on both presta and shrader. This pump is faster to inflate a tire than my old Joe Blow pump. I've been pleased with it.

I like the screw on valve, it's easy to pump up, and it pumps a lot of air quickly.

I own several Lezyne pumps and love them all.
Review by DonZ
I've been using the Schrader adapters to fill my road bike tires because I was disgusted with the friction type Presta floor pumps. It wasn't till I went over to my riding partners house and saw his new Lezyne floor pump and was impressed with the quality. I especially like how it threads onto the presta valves and the pressure release button on the side. I believe it should be the last floor pump I'll need to buy.

I like the screw on inflation head rather than the flip on, it takes a few more seconds but provides a secure connection, the relief valve also is nice to fine tune your pressure exactly, and the gauge reads easily.
The fit and finish seem nice, but pumping action seems just a bit spindly such that it almost feels like one could bend the pump arm if you don't go straight up and down. Overall, though, it is a nice pump.

I should have bought it sooner, worth the money.

I use this pump for pumping the tires on my road bike . I really like the screw-on air nozzle and the precision of the pump itself.

If you are looking for a reasonable priced tire pump which does what it advertises to do, and you want a specific air pressure, this is the pump. It is as precise as the digital version with no needs to worry about batteries.

My old pump broke down and decided to get a better pump as I now have TL tires and need high volume pump. Works great - great build quality
