I've had good and bad experiences of Lidl pumps in the past but this one looks like they have learnt from their previous dubious offerings.
Post a review if anyone purchases one.

I bought a Joe Blow Mountain track pump,it has a larger diameter barrel for the 2.4 inch tyres on my Genesis Longitude,I found the gauge to be way off + around 6psi and hard to put even 15psi into tyres,so not recommended.
My ordinary Joe Blow is still going strong though and the gauge is spot on,after nearly 14 years of hard use.

What leads you to think it's any better from the "look"?
My lidl trackpump exploded into bits the first time i used it.
I wouldn't trust another.
My aldi trackpump bought more recently as a backup is somewhat clunky but far better I think.
Should have taken the lidl one back, but bought from an italian lidl and from past experience am not too confident of italian attitude to returns.
