Wait for a deal at Harbor Freight. You'll be able to get a reasonably good air compressor for $50 and a digital pressure gauge with fine adjustment valve for $15. It works much better than those cheap tire pumps.

I even added a few feet of 1/4" copper tubing (bent into a coil) between the pump and tank on mine so I can inflate the tires with cool air.
