mini pump with hose and T-handle?

Hi

does anyone make a mini / midi pump which has a hose (like lezyne) and a fold out T handle (like blackburn) ? I have a blackburn airstick with said handle type and find it's great for getting the last few pumps in but with the addition of a flexible hose, would be spot on.

Any recommendations appreciated

    Do you mean one like this:

    Topeak do a whole range in this configuration.

    I have no experience of using one, but from what I can recall, they get pretty good user reviews on the Forums.

    the lezyne road drive pumps have the hose, and as they do about 0.5 psi per stroke (the medium version) are easy to get to full pressure...

    ...you can also get an alternate hose with a built-in pressure gauge

    if you really want a t-handle, they also do one that's like a mini track pump, it even has a flip-out foot, it does go ok in a jersey pocket as it's still fairly light, but unless you really can't muster the oomph to use the road drive it's not needed...

    thanks for the suggestions. I'm leaning towards the lezyne pump as the topeak ones look a bit heavy duty for what I need. The lack of a T-handle isn't a killer, I just thought it would be the best of both worlds in one small pump

    I've got a Road Morph. It's not heavy (208g plus 18g for the mount), and it's really well designed and made. A T-handle (well an L-handle really) and a flip-out foot, and it sure gets good pressure in with ease.
