Huge size makes this awesome for filling high pressure tubes in a fraction of the time that crappy pocket pumps require. Decent construction, high pressure option (which doesn't really seem to serve a purpose to me).
Definitely worth the $20 I paid for it.

Another relatively hard to find item in this day and age. It works well. Provides good pressure. A little on the fragile side compared to my old Silca and Zefal pumps of the mid to late 70's. The finish scars easily and the gromet that fits over the presta valve, easily distorts, making it difficult to reinsert the dust plug. Other than that, it's fine.Best Deals for Topeak Road MasterBlaster Pump
This pump looks good and feels good, but does not grip well to the head of my presta valves. Therefore, it's usually a chore to pump my tires. Thankfully I don't have to do that too often. My previous pump brand was Zefal, and I didn't have this kind of difficulty with that pump. Unfortunately it was lost or stolen.Honest reviews on Topeak Road MasterBlaster Pump
On Amazon, it says XL fits a 59-64cm bike. In person, the L package says it fits a 49-54cm bike. What am I missing?? I have a 56, and the L doesn't fit.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Topeak Road MasterBlaster Pump
so, i've given a couple frame pumps a try (Blackburn Frame Pump and Park Tool PMP-5 Dial Adjust Frame Pump) and was never fully in love with either of them. many people swear by them though and my new steel road bike has a frame pump peg so i was determined to keep trying until i found a good one! here are my thoughts on this one:good:
narrow shaft means it doesn't kill your shoulder/arm to get up to high pressures. it may take more pump strokes than the competition, but they'll be easier ones. skinny-armed cyclists rejoice!
locks very well against my top tube. handle end goes on the pump peg, rubber end goes against the seat tube. no strap used. doesn't budge.
doesn't rattle at all (amazing, when compared to the VERY noisy park tool pmp5).
easy to get on/off valve stem.
build quality is excellent.
rubber seal does the trick of keeping it clean.
inexpensive.
not-so-good:
i wish it came in black.
not much else to say. i love it. i'm happy i have it. if it seems like it'll work with your bike, i highly recommend picking one up.
