    The M18 version comes out in a couple months, it will be a game changer. The Dewalt inflator is 20v been using it a couple years and even us on tractor tires may take 2 batteries but capable. the M12 is really suited for mower, ATV, UTV, or small car. Glad you finally getting on board with all the Milwaukee. Been a Milwaukee and Dewalt sales rep for 11 years know and Milwaukee keeps outpacing the competition.

      My only issue is that Milwaukee pumps out every single type of tool imaginable at lightning speed and while its core products are amazing, some of the niche stuff is complete garbage. Like the m12 die grinder, or the 10" mitre saw, or the first generation blower, or the drywall cutout tool with the cheapo plastic depth adjustment that broke within a week. But the core stuff is awesome.

    IMO a more practical task would have been to go from 5psi - 30psi , which I think is more what a portable / emergency use inflator is designed for.

      It really wouldn't matter. If it took 15 minutes to gain a few psi it would have never made it. My guess is it was basically maxed out on psi. If there's say 50psi in the tire and the machine only puts out 45 the tire pushes the pressure back through the line.

Then the slime one to do the same test and see the time difference. That 80PSI was asking a ton out of these 2 things. I know the slime is junk compared to the Milwaukee but it serves its purpose for many that only need this 1 or 2 times a year.

    It’s an awesome tool for everyday general use. We use one on a service truck to top off air in well pump bladder tanks on a daily basis. Not the fastest or most efficient, but the set feature and ability to leave it be while doing other tasks is almost irreplaceable. Going away are the days of hunting an extension cord for a pancake compressor.

    Literally used this today. Buddy at work's tire was flat got him up enough to get him up to our shop to fill it and put a plug in the tire. I used a 2.0 battery that probably had been sitting in my truck for 2 months from a previous rescue mission, got him up to 27 psi on a large tire like yours before it died. I take it with me on longer car trips along with my m12 impact. Never know.

    Going from 20-80 is a lot for any compact emergency inflator. That said; I’ve had that inflator for little over a year for trailers mostly but it’s done everything I’ve asked of it and then some it won’t do an air mattress but for pool toys, to most recently setting the pressure on an expansion tank (plumber went out and bought one after seeing mine) it’s a great little home owner grade tool.

    I'm not certain, but it looked as if the batteries were not charged beforehand. In the initial overlook, the battery was full with 4 bars. But, when you inserted the battery before tire fill, the battery had only 2 bars. Maybe the tool could of performed the job after all.

I didn't think much of it.... until the first time I set it and walked away while wrangling my toddler and came back to a fully inflated tire. WIN! That being said, it's definitely better for sedans than trucks.

  • @3dloon430

    It's great in the winter time to air up tires because I set the pressure, start it running, and go back in the house to stay warm and it turns itself off. Tops off the tires on two different Jeeps we have, plus tractor tires, pull-carts, snowblower tires (You could never get a big compressor going without tripping breakers in dead-of-winter). Once you own one, you'll never go back. It also does high-pressure bike tires. Totally worth it, especially if you already have batteries. The 4 Ah battery works for our needs and I can top-off 8 tires on one battery.

    A buddy of mine is an HVAC contractor. He has the Makita 18v compressor for pressure testing gas line. Works great, and has filled a few truck tires on job sites, too.
    Also, the Slime name brand started with their tire repair goop that stopped leaks when sprayed inside the tire. Slime was an appropriate name, given the viscosity of the product.

    I've had that little compressor for about a year and I use it frequently. Really good for topping off tire pressures if they're down 5 lb. It's definitely slow but it's my go-to for 90% of the time. I have the DeWalt 60 volt($319) for running Brad nailers and bigger jobs. $430 for the 18v Milwaukee air compressor is a little steep!

  • @andydsimmons

    Used compressed air all my life and there is no replacement. You won't get the 80 psi from either one of those. The slime would pretty much go all day and no battery to kill. The Milwaukee looks like a beauty. You will never choose either over your shop compressor to inflate your tires. Appreciate what you do by the way.

I’ve had my dewalt compressor for over a year now, used it probably 20+ times on a range of things. It even blows a good bit of air out on its blower setting. I’m very happy with it. I’m not saying go buy that but if you have a friend with one, give it a try and I think you will like it.

    I have the 20v Dewalt tire inflator. That thing is awesome. I got distracted one time...doing something else while it was doing work in the background. I ended up driving off to move the truck a bit with the thing still running. It stayed attached, stayed inflating (it has the auto shutoff feature). I love it. I think it's a little more bulky than your Milwaukee though. But it would be able to get your tire filled even with the smaller of the 20v batteries.

For truck tires like yours, that M18 model will probably be a better fit. Also, when you first put in the battery, it was only about a third full. Did you charge them to full, before running the test? Either way, nice video.

I keep one in each vehicle for emergencies and they never let me down. I even bought a 120v to 12v inverter to use it on my pressure tank under the sink (RO system). I don’t think these battery powered inflators are useful unless on a job site, even then not sure. You have a much more useful system in your truck!Too many toys, so little time!

      @CinciDan08. I have both the M12 Milwaukee inflator and the 20V MAX Dewalt inflator. I think the Dewalt is just a bit quieter than the Milwaukee, has built-in included 12V cigarette lighter plug, LED Light and takes batteries that are easier to change out and has a better duty cycle (only if you inflate above 100PSI then you can only do it for 10 minutes on 20 minutes off). The Milwaukee M12 can only use battery power, has a duty cycle of 10 minutes use on 10 minutes off, and the design of the battery bay makes it harder to change batteries especially when I use any of the batteries with the big base like the 3.0AH or larger. There's not much room to put my fingers in to press the tabs in to release the battery. But I tend to use my Milwaukee more since I have more M12 tools than I do Dewalt. Hope that helps.

    I was so close to getting one of these but ended up going with the 20v Dewalt inflator. It can run on 20v Dewalt batteries as well as 12v car outlet. It includes a long cigarette outlet style cable. I was able to fill a truck tire from 50 to 80 PSI without issue. It took a few minutes, but the key was to see if it could really push forward once it got to 50 PSI. It never missed a beat. The Dewalt unit also has a secondary inflation side for things like air mattresses. It says it can do AC as well, but you have to buy a seperatre power supply. It's going to easily replace the air hose for inflation purposes. I love Milwaukee 12v tools, but I think in this case the Dewalt inflator has a little more umph to it.

    That little compressor would be better suited to air the tires up enough for you to go to a bigger compressor to fill the tire up the rest of the way. Ex. tires are at 25psi to go on the beach/ sand dunes. Then use the milwaukee to air up to about 45/ 50psi to drive more safely to a gas station or tire shop to inflate the tires up the rest of the way.

    I reluctantly agree, the age of "shop air" with drops and reels all over seems to be ending for most home gamers and DIYers.. there are some jobs, like filling the tires on your truck or the Yanmar tires, where the BIG compressor is nice. I used a Problem Solvers adapter to fill my bicycle tires from my air compressor for years. It was GREAT just having a tank of air ready to go any moment. But the air tools seem to be replaced with the latest brushless motors and Lithium batteries.

    I love my Milwaukee inflator. I chase taxi cabs around Denver Co & use it all the time. It may be slow to inflate car tires but it sure beets dragging around a full sized compressor around. I can charge the batteries on my 3000 watt inverter or a small 100 watt inverter. I can remove a nail or screw from the tire & plug the tire while inflating the tire & even re install the tire on the vehicle while the inflator is connected. It's not stupid loud so I can run it in a residential neighborhood at 3AM & not feel bad about it. I guess I push it harder than a homeowner so, yeah, this is a great tool!

    The M12 is great adding 5-20 psi a tire (under 55 psi for light duty sized truck tires or smaller).

    I have the well-regarded (398 Amazon rating with an average of 4.5 stars) Schumacher SJ1330 1000amp Instant Power jumpstarter with the added air compressor feature. It's a beast at about 11 pounds with its internal rechargeable once-a-month battery. The gauge reads to 110 psi (for whatever that's worth) before the numbers turn red on the way to 150.
    It's peace of mind for a dead battery issue out in the boondocks and keeps my normal 35 psi tires up to snuff. However, it overheated and shut down after about 15 minutes while trying to get a friend's big camper tire up to 60 pounds last summer. I am not sure if that is the norm, and will now cruise through these comments. I never actually got around to researching it ... it should be easy to find.

    G'day If you double the pressure you need 2 times the air (that means running 2 times longer). This assumes no loss of efficiency. As the pressure increases the efficiency decreases. The more you compress air the more heat you create. Heat causes losses in efficiency.

    Asking one of these to inflate to 80 pounds is probably a little much. I’ve had trouble with the coin operated air compressors at gas stations inflating to 85 pounds on my truck tires.
