Ryobi vs Ridgid 18v inflator shootout:
• RIDGID VS RYOBI 18V IN...
One of the most useful Makita cordless tools I have.
The coordless inflator is one of mine as well. I've always got one with me.
I love mine I had it for about a year and it's served it's purpose many times
That's great to hear. I have no doubt it will work fine for a long time. It's a Makita after all. Lol I was just very surprised it seemed to perform the same as the ryobi which is $50 less.
Been great for me 2 months.Above average home owner use and been GREAT
I'm glad to hear its holding up great. I wouldn't expect anything less from a Makita product.
Never had any issues with mine. Very pleased with it.
That's awesome. I'm hoping to catch a good sale in their newer 18v inflator. It looks pretty sweet.
Owned my for a year or so and I am impressed.
Glad you like it. It's a makita, they are solid tools.
For bigger tyres, there is bigger model (DMP181Z) available with about double output. The smaller one is handy with bicycles, wheelbarrows etc... just select the right one to your needs.
Thanks for the info. I've seen that newer one now and I would love to try it out. It sure seems like its solved all my dislikes with this one. Thanks for watching.
Awesome tool, have it for almost a year now for my car and mtb. Has helped others out a bunch too
Portable inflators are one of the best tools you can buy. Thanks for watching.
Bonus tip for those in an area with road salt: if you have never dropped your spare tire before- drop your spare, check the pressure and BEFORE you lift it again, fluid film the HELL out of the wheel, mechanism and underside of the truck bed.
That's a great idea. I was just spraying some penetrating oil in there but I might have to get a can of fluid film to use instead. Thanks.
Thanks for this review
Thank you for watching.
Had mine a long time. best Makita tool I've had.
That's awesome to hear. I know the inflator is a tool I use way to often lol
I have one and I've never had a problem with that you're supposed to hold those things as level as possible when you're performing your test
Are you saying your supposed to hold the inflator as level as possible?
Thanks for video bud...might be slower than tbe rest..but if it lasts as long as all my other Makita tools ...it's a keeper...:)
That's for sure. I really do love Makita. Thanks for watching.
I love mine. Great tool.
Glad to hear that. I also saw they came out with a newer model which looks pretty nice. I might try out one day.
Great tool….does my top ups in moments.
The portability of these battery inflators is just amazing. Wish I'd had one 10 years ago.
I love this tool. But the trigger is kinda bunk though. A zip tie fixed that since it shuts off automatically
Project farm done a test and his failed to stop when it was supposed too.
I think I'm getting the high-pressure version for Christmas. I like everything about the unit except that you have to hold the trigger down during the inflation. I'm guessing they did it that way, so you're less likely to burn it up.. 🤷♂️
I used my buddy's Ryobi the other day. Set it and forget it. It was really nice! Does anyone really know why Makita left that feature out?
Thank for the video! I assumed would have that feature. Makita is usually on top of their game.
I agree. I think the high pressure one is going to be really nice. I've not actually used it but it looks good. I also think they might have just left that feature off not to burn it up but once you use the Ryobi or the rigid and they shut off when they're supposed to, it really makes paying all the money for the Makita hard in my opinion. I love everything else about Makita just not this. If you get the high pressure, let me know what you think of it.
Intro music is pumpin
Thanks, I'm trying to get some new music for up coming videos.
bought one a year ago no problems we have 12 v one and it is not man enough and eats batterys but bought the new one 160 psi is chunky and is better again than the other 18 volt
I just saw the new 160psi Makita last week. It looks pretty nice but like you said, chunky indeed. That stinks the 12v didn't work for you. I've been hesitant on 12v tools like that. Thank you for sharing.
Can I also inflate mattresses and inflated toys like the ryobi one ?
It does have a small black adapter that came with it that should work for blowing up air mattresses and tubes. I never used it and I had a buddy that needed a Makita inflator so I no longer have this one.
It is a pretty good inflator for it's size, you can just throw it anywhere in the car. Feels like Makita quality all the way. Providing you have some Makita 18v batteries - it is not so expensive either. The biggest drawback is that you have to always press the trigger (solvable with some kind of a tie). There are newer models (18v and 40v), much bigger and heavier - but have twice the power and the speed of that.
Agreed. Standard makita, gets the job done day in and day out without issues. I saw they have a newer 18v model. I may buy that one next. It looks pretty nice from the little research I did on it.
@@tgltoday2717 I just bought the 40V one. Have not used it a lot. It is HUGE compared to the 18V one, did not imagine it to be so big. But if you are inflating big truck tires - probably will be worth it for you. I kind of fancy more the 40v stick vacuum cleaner that I also got. Same size as the Brushless 18V model - 3 times the power!
@@sizif717 I'll have to check the 40v out now. I 'm real curious how much bigger it is and how it does on bigger truck tires. I would think with it being so much bigger and 40v that it should be able to handle a truck tire pretty good. Thank you for the feedback.
I own one and hated having to always hold the trigger, piece of velcro and it hasn’t been an issue in over a year. Highly recommended
I got one of these last year. I already had a bunch of other Makita 18v, in use it for car tires, motorcycle tires, bicycle tires, balls, etc. so far I have not had any problems with it.
That's awesome to hear. I dont suspect you will have any issues. Its makita after all lol
6:52 If you know of a gas station that has am air compressor with the forward and reversed dual air nozzle head you can skip this spare tire removal all together. You may spend $1.00 for air but it saves you time lowering the spare tire.
I've never really looked to see what they have but I will. Thanks
Well, I just bought the 40v makita air pump. Hopefully it works better
I would think that it would. I've actually heard that the new 18 volt one works a lot better than the one I have in the video. Let me know what you think of your 40v.
I use mine when four wheel driving !!
It is awesome for me !!
Don't know what you're doing with yours ???
🤔
I use it for everything. The inflator works fine I just dont think it's a good value as the ryobi I have is a lot nicer in terms of how it works and it's basically the same speed. The ridgid is so much faster and both the ryobi and ridgid are a lot less money. I'm a makita guy so I was expecting for the $100, it would be a lot better them those two cheaper ones and it's not. I got the ryobi for $35 and the ridgid was just on sale for $50. I never saw the makita go on sale. At those prices the ridgid has the lifetime service agreement and you can guy 3 ryobi and 2 ridgids if they were to die for the price of one Makita. I was expecting since its Makita for it to be nicer then the cosumer brands. I did see that makita has a newer 18v inflator supposed to be a lot better so one day if my ryobi dies I will get the newer Makita and see what it can do.
@@tgltoday2717
The Rigid warranty is fine as you will definitely need it !
There is an old saying : " Poor Man Pays Twice "
If price is an issue for you then don't buy a Makita Anything !!
Stick with the ranges of disposable tools then !!
🙂👍
@@sfcarp9418 ain't that the truth. Nothing Makita is cheap.
A few things. 1. It would be interesting to see if it improved with the 6ah Battery. I know with a drill, the bigger the more power you get so maybe the faster. Also how much longer it would take with a 3ah battery. 2. Decibels is good but when stuck you wont care as long as it works.
I bought a jump starter kit, the little jump starter that is good for 20 jump starts. It came with a tire pump and I thought wow thats cool. It said don't pump for longer than 15 minutes, I thought "Who is going to pump for 15 minutes?" My sons bike tire needed blowing up so I thought here's a chance to try it out. pfffffffffffff. Ok now I see why it said 15 minutes.
That would be a great test to see with a 6ah. I actually really want to know now. I unfortunately don't have any.
Haha yes, the 15 minutes. Like you said, in a pinch no one cares about noise. I can only imagine how long it would take one of these to blow a truck tire up from start to finish lol Thanks for watching.
Bought the DMP181, the model After this. As I found a deal on it. I worried about the 5min on/off duty cycle … and the new one has double the volume of air output.
I plan to leave this in the truck or take on trips, for flats or blowing up air mattresses etc…
What did you get it for if you dont mind me asking? I'd like to find a deal and buy the newest one as well.
@@tgltoday2717 I got it for £84 - which is roughly $95. I think that’s an ok price - we don’t get the massive clearance prices you get in America. You likely could find it on a promo
@@JDAfrica sweet. Thanks JD
i think that's too much noise (for me); i think i will stick going to service station even though some times their air pump is faulty; guess it couldn't be helped- but it's much quieter when doing it at service station but you mite have to wait at times.
Nothing wrong with that. I like kwik trips newer pumped that you just enter the psi, hit the button and it stops when full.
I would like to see the big makita inflator in the next test.
If I get it I will definitely do a video on it. I've read good things about it.
Yep I was disappointed with the auto shutoff after all my inflatable fun dolls popped from too much air!
Haha you'll have that.
Gonna get the dewalt thanks for the heads up
I've heard the Dewalt is pretty nice. I'm pretty sure it's faster then this model but I did see Makita came out with a new inflator that is supposed to be better then this one.
Get a Jaco lightning connector and clamp it in there.
They're amazing.
I will look into that. Thanks for the tip.
Had mine 2 years plus & still going strong ! Put a cable tie over the handle to save holding the button down, no big deal.
That's good feedback. Makita strong.
I use a Velcro strap, no biggie.
@@goforbroke2 I like the velcro strap idea as its fast and easy.
Yeah I use velcro tie
I've had mine going on 3 years and it has never let me down yet
At least the nozzle head is metal compared to competators.
I also like it being fast and easy to connect. As much as I like the ryobi, I'm starting to not like having to screw it on each time. Makita being more of a quick connect is nice.
Your presentation off the bat was partial and the throwing and rustling of the contents expressed your frustration. Like the threads say in the replies...use a zip tie!
👍
I also read to use a velcro strap... good idea too!
@@chrisE815 that's the best idea I've heard. Easy, no tools required, you can wrap it around the handle when not in use so you always have it. Thanks for the idea.
those rubber seals go on those type of adaptors. I'm taking mine back to HD and swapping it for the 181
Your the first one to tell me this lol I had a lot of people get mad at me for stating that happens. Thanks for letting me know and from what I've seen the new one is really nice. Let me know what you think of the new one and hopefully it last longer then this one did. Thanks for watching.
Your hand was placed over the phone mic when taking dB reading
Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to check that out.
I'm probably going to buy this. I have makita 18V batteries already and you can get it for like £56 over here.
The 181 version is 100+
That is a great deal. For that price, if I were you, I would buy it. I did see they have a newer version out now that looks pretty nice. I'm hoping to find a sale on that one at some point .
@@tgltoday2717 yeah I've ordered it. I had to use a random work van a while back, while mine was being serviced. Ended up having to roll the spare a mile and half to the nearest petrol station as it totally flat.
If I can avoid having to that again ever. Then it's money well spent!
@@AGfrom83 holy cow. Yes I'd never want to have to do that. I can feel my back mad at me from that roll lol
I have the Ridgid and the Makita. The Ridgid is waaay faster but I have no problem using the Makita for lawn mower tires and the Ridgid for large tires and yes, the Makita is way quieter.
Overall I would buy the Ridgid I were to need one. But I have tons of tools and batteries from both brands so am not locked in to one brand or the other . I switched back to Makita tools after using Ridgid because the lifetime guarantee is now a pain as you have to take the tool an hour away from me to have it repaired so no good for me and Makita was my 35 year choice of tools before Ridgid and I wait till they have sales on the Makita tools and get them for 1/2 price.
It's crazy how fast that Ridgid is. I've heard the new way for Ridgid is a pain but I also heard it is supposed to be getting easier so we will see how that turns out.
Makita is also my tool of choice for most tools but like you said, I never buy then unless they are in sale. Glad to hear you are liking both inflators. Thanks for watching.
Well I won’t be getting one of these I guess. Dam it
There is a newer model out now. I'm told it's a lot better. I'm waiting for a sale to get one lol
Just got mine. The box looked like it had been to Ukraine. No directions, and when I try to inflate a tire, it keeps shutting off and showing +/- 64 lbs. . Finally, after reseating the air connector multiple times, I got an air pressure reading that was believable. After I hit the desired air pressure on the Makitas' gauge I double checked it with my longacre autox air gauge. 3 lbs under. I was hoping this was the perfect autox air compressor. The search continues.
Wow! Sorry to hear you had so much problems with yours. I did see that Makita made a newer version and from what I've read it's a lot better than this one. I've not actually seen it yet. So maybe take a look at that one.
No problem. I bought it before I saw your video. I'm glad most of these Makitas do what they're supposed to do, and do it well apparently. Mine looked abused judging by the condition of the box. @@tgltoday2717 Good video.
@dunnjun I totally agree. Most of the Makitas do a great job. It's hard to have the best of every tool. We will have to let this one slide lol I once bought a tool and then found out it was a return that didn't work. Thankfully the store believed me. Thank you and thanks for watching.
Have had mine for about 3 years, works perfectly every time, but buy this one Makita DMP 181, it's faster👍
Is the DMP 181 the new one they came out with? I've seen it's supposed to be a lot nicer. I just haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
Yeah its the new one
@@SlavaUkraini6987 Perfect. Thank you. I'm glad yours has held up so well. I mean it's a Makita so I'm not surprised.
I bought one of these and absolutely loved it until it just stopped inflating, its hardly been used. Makita is not what it used to be.
Did you try to get it warranty repaired? I would think you just got a lemon. I don't like this inflator but I still think it's got Makita's build quality. I just think the performance isn't there.
3 years of usage now
That's awesome. Makita reliability for the win.
I like Makita stuff and currently have 8 batteries and about 15 of their 18V tools, but the lack of a locking on/off switch on this inflator is a deal breaker for me. I bought my son the DeWalt DCC020IB inflator for Christmas, and it is the cat's meow! It also does air mattresses and pool toys and such.
I have multiple Makita tools as well and they're my preferred tool except this one. I'm glad someone understands what I'm talking about lol because there were a lot of Makita people that did not like this video. I've never used the DeWalt in person, but I would imagine it's pretty nice. Given DeWalt typically makes nice stuff in my opinion. I saw they have a newer version of this 18 volt inflator and I may get that at some point.
Ha You’re not happy with it but I have a bunch of Makita tools already and just scored one of these inflators at tractor supply for 35 bucks on clearance I’m sure I’ll get my 35 bucks out out of it
For $35 I am happy with it lol for the price compared to the others I've used, this one just isnt that good. Theres nothing wrong with it and it's a Makita so it should last a long time. Congrats on your great deal by the way.
No lock button is a great idea as it stops idiots leaving it on and exceeding the Duty Cycle ! Makita obviously expects users to be stupid enough to do this and ruin their nice new machine, So well done Makita, Its called "Idiot Proofing"
I guess that is one way to look at it. It is sad how if everything isn't idiot proofed these days then someone will get hurt lol
Screw on hose sucks unlike this one
The Makita style is defiantly faster which is nice.
the auto shutoff is terrible... overinflated all my tires
How bad did it overinflate them? I am always a little skeptical on the other inflators when I set them to a psi and turn my back on it. I never go to far when its running, after all its still a machine and can malfunction at any time.
@@tgltoday2717 overinflated each tyre by 2 psi
The NEW updated 18v and NEW 40v are WAY better …. They are bigger and pump much faster than this model 😉
That is good to know. I saw the new 18v specs out a lot better so I'm hoping to get one on sale and test it out. I really do love Makita which is why this inflator was such a disappointment to me.
@@tgltoday2717 understand completely I have a few things in 40v and it’s awesome…. But you don’t need 40v in everything just a few it is beneficial for average person
It was painful to watch and listen to.
I had high hopes it would do much better then it did, considering I'm a Makita guy. However, I have the Ryobi I will continue to use it. And I really wish they would add the auto shut off. Maybe on the next gen inflator they will. Thanks for watching.
I assumed he gave up or CZcams kicked him or something
wait , you have to push that button all the 3 minutes ?
Yes. This one doesn't have an auto feature so you have to hold the button the whole time.
TGL ignore the hater comments on here! Decent enough video, what do people expect? Anyways I just bought this tool myself prior to watching this video and I'm thoroughly not impressed (with this tool). This is NOT Makita quality at all. I'm probably sending mine back. I put 30 pounds of air in my wife's car tires then come back and recheck them with a gauge and they're all at 30 but one is at 25. And the Makita display hits 30 pounds and then keeps running for at least another minute. Plus the missing lock on button is just such a huge mistake. Makita stuff used to be fool-proof and of the highest quality "Made in Japan". Now, sadly, it's becoming more and more like Ryobi MADE IN CHINA/ average junk. Don't spend $100+ on this just because it uses the 18 volt batteries.
Thanks Joseph. I'm glad you found the video helpful. I'm a big Makita guy, but I have a wide variety of tool brands because I know that not one manufacturer no matter how good they are, can make the best of everything. If this Makita was only $50, then I could see it being a good deal but not at $100plus price tag it normally sells for. I did see that they have an updated newer model from this one and the specs make it look like its a lot nicer. I've also read good things about it. I want to give that one a try but my I really like my $35 Ryobi. Thanks for watching and if you decide to get the newer 18v Makita, let me know what you think of it.
@@tgltoday2717 I agree, Makita "overall" is a great power tool company, possibly the best (though everyone has their opinions). I own Makita and a bunch of different brands, too, without one brand loyalty. For example, Bosch makes the smoothest jigsaw on earth so I pay the premium and use the Bosch jigsaw. I was looking for a great inflator but this one isn't it. I just feel like the Makita of old (the Makita that built that amazing brand) would have never let this tool go to market like this. Like you said if it was half the price or less than MAYBE it's a keeper but why buy 2nd rate equipment? I'm definitely not hating on Makita though, but if someone working for them reads this then all the better. Peace
Mine inflates way faster!
Really? Do you use a 6ah battery?
Meting is verkeerd. Totaal nutteloze film.
😁
I'd rather spend three minutes inflating a low tire than 30 minutes driving to a gas station and paying for air.
Agreed.
Are you aware the new model is the 181 and is double the speed ? Lol
No, I didn't know they had a newer model. I could only find this one at Home Depot and I also looked at tractor supply. How long ago did they come out with the 181? That's good to hear that its twice the speed. I'm now searching for it.
It's more powerful with an improved duty cycle, but still has the same idiotic design that requires the trigger to be depressed.
@@mediocreman2 Zip ties are your friend
@@mediocreman2 I want to try the new one out. I've been watching for it to go on sale. I was hoping they would have fixed that trigger on this newer one. Darn.
It's strain relief ffs. If you don't know the basics is your review worth anything at all?
Dishonest review. You used their smallest AH batteries. Use even one size up like 5ah, and it would work just fine.
If you watch the Video when I do the test, you will see that I have the 5ah battery on the inflator. At the 9:39 mark in the video I show and tell you that I used the 5ah battery and that it was fully charged.
OK... the spring is a strain relief so you do not ruin the hose. Also, never say "i'm told" when doing a review. Figure it out FIRST
👍
Unboxing on a dewalt table. Fan boy biased review!
Haha I'm definitely more of a Makita guy then a DeWalt guy but that DeWalt table is really nice and handy. I have a lot of both brand tools I will say.
Terrible review. This is a good battery inflater from Makita, a company that is specialized in construction tools. You hear say that the nozzle is bad but try using a few of these a couple years instead of burning down a good, relatively cheap and compatible tool.
This inflator does exactly what it supposed to do. I love Makita tools and have a lot of them, but this one is just not for me. It doesn't perform as well as a few of the other ones I've tested that cost half as much. As far as the nozzle go, my experience with a craftsman inflator is that over time the seal inside must shrink or something and then cause it to leak. I seen Makita has made a new version of this inflator and looks to be twice as nice. I hope to get my hands on it one day. Thanks for watching.
I love this tool. I dislike this video.
😀👍
You bought a bare inflator. What else did you expect to find in the box. I have this tool and it’s been brilliant. You bought this wanting it to be bad. Bad review and even worse reviewer
I bought this expecting to retire my Ryobi inflator and was disappointed that at the time I bought them, the ryobi costed $35 and the Makita costed $99. The inflator works fine but my point was for $99, I was expecting it to be way better then the home owner Ryobi. And yes, I've had the Ryobi a while now and it gets a good amount of use and still works great. I did see that Makita has since come out with a newer model and it looks like it's way better then this one I reviewed. Thanks for watching.
