The Core Pro is Blackburn's shop-quality floor pump designed for home mechanics who want professional-level performance without running a business. The pump stands 29 inches tall with an oversized inner diameter pump shaft, which means you're moving more air per stroke compared to standard floor pumps. This translates to fewer strokes to reach pressure, whether you're inflating high-pressure road tires or high-volume mountain bike casings. The 6061 aluminum construction covers the handle, air chamber, and base—material that's durable enough for aircraft applications, so it's not going to flex or wear out from regular use.

The 51-inch hose gives you reach to work on bikes mounted on car racks, in bike stands, or just propped against a wall without having to reposition anything. The AirTap pump head threads onto Presta, Schrader, and Dunlop valves without adapters or flipping mechanisms—just reverse the head orientation depending on which valve type you're using. The integrated air bleed button sits right at the valve connection, so you can fine-tune pressure in small increments without disconnecting and reconnecting the pump. This matters when you're dialing in precise pressure for different riding conditions.

The three-inch base-mounted gauge provides clear pressure readings from a standing position without bending down to check a barrel-mounted gauge. The large base footprint keeps the pump stable during use, and the gauge displays pressure in both psi and bar. The combination of oversized pump shaft, long hose, and stable base makes this pump efficient for regular use—if you're inflating multiple bikes or adjusting pressures frequently, the Core Pro speeds up the process compared to smaller pumps....
