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've helped a five or six folk over two decades who have thought the same as you. Donated a tube and used my pump to infate and get them on their way.

That said if it's worked for 10 years why bother now? The only point to make is if it does happen that you get a flat, what will you do? Ring your partnter and get a lift, or use an Uber (?) fair enough. Walk with the bike for 20k in the dark to get home ? Maybe an idea to have a spare and a pump?
