RockShox High-Pressure Shock Pump 300 PSI
The RockShox High-Pressure Shock Pump 300 PSI is a workshop-grade hand pump that combines a high maximum pressure range with a solid analog gauge for repeatable sag and tune settings, making it a best-in-class choice for most shock servicing tasks. It earns its position by offering reliable accuracy and a lower price point than digital alternatives like the Fox Digital HP Pump, while delivering more useful pressure range for suspension work than compact bike pumps such as the Park Tool PMP-4.2. Compared with the dedicated service tools in this list, it represents the most cost-effective way to dial shock air pressures without adding shop-only tooling.

Fox Racing Shox Digital HP Pump 350 PSI
The Fox Racing Shox Digital HP Pump 350 PSI stands out as the technical leader for riders and technicians who demand digital precision and a higher 350 PSI ceiling, ideal for high-pressure forks and fine shock tuning. It justifies a premium over RockShox's analog pump with a digital readout and tighter accuracy, which speeds repeatable setup and reduces guesswork compared with compact emergency pumps like the Park Tool PMP-4.2. When paired with service tools such as the RockShox IFP Height Tool or the Fox seal driver kit, its precise pressure control helps ensure calibration and rebuilds are executed to factory tolerances.

Park Tool PMP-4.2 Micro Pump
The Park Tool PMP-4.2 Micro Pump is a compact, lightweight inflator prized for portability and affordability, making it the market leader for on-bike emergency use rather than bench servicing. While it cannot reach the high pressures or precision of the RockShox or Fox HP pumps, its low cost and small footprint make it an indispensable complement for riders who also own the service-specific tools listed here. In the context of suspension tools, it should be viewed as a rider’s backup rather than a primary shock service device.

RockShox Rear Shock IFP Height Tool
The RockShox Rear Shock IFP Height Tool is a specialized service instrument that facilitates accurate inspection and setting of internal floating piston (IFP) height during shock rebuilds, which reduces guesswork and shop hours compared with generic tools. It holds a leadership position among service-only items by being tailored to RockShox geometries, providing a technical advantage for shops and DIY mechanics seeking consistent rebuild results and cost savings versus sending shocks to a service center. Unlike pumps, this tool directly affects long-term shock performance and should be paired with a precise HP pump for final setup.
