Mini bike pump recommendations for bicycle commuting? (sh.itjust.works)

Does anyone have any recommendations for tiny bike pumps to keep on my commuter? Durability is preferred, but I don't want to break the bank if it gets stolen.

I'm glad your experience has been idyllic, but oftentimes things happen to people. Not unreasonable to carry an item the size of a banana to get out of a jam. Something I have used 4 times over the last 4 years riding in an urban setting. Really saved my butt out riding with my kid. Why sound so shitty on people? Different people experience different things.

I'm not sounding shitty, I'm trying to understand why people would want to fight with pumps and tubes and all that shit by the side of the road rather than preparing themselves not to have that situation.

Riding with your kid isn't cycle commuting and is a different case entirely so isn't really relevant for the conversation.
