I’ve got a Hurricane Pro from EVO and it’s horrible, I need to put my whole weight on it just to pass 60 psi… I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s just bad?
It’s also being sold as being able to pump Shradder and Presta trough the same hole, but I’ve never figured out how…
Can’t find anything online

I’ve never used this specific pump. But from my experience, pretty much every floor pump with a pressure gauge and compatibility with both valve types is the same.
If the pump came with a manual, then take a more detailed look at it and make sure you’re using it correctly.
Are you pumping tubeless or tubular? Is the back of the nozzle flipped up/down correctly when pumping? The fact that you need to put all your weight on it tells me that the nozzle is flipped wrong.
Topeak JoeBlow … The one and only pump every cyclist should have.
To use it on presta mode, you’ll need to unscrew that gray cap, take out and flip the other way the rubber/silicone nub inside.
I understand you have a schrader tube? You may also want to look into a broken valve. Does it deflate okay? If so, try to plug the pump in hard until you hear some air come out and lock it in.
As for pumping action, just pull it back a bit so you overcome any resistance more smoothly.
