Seems like a decent enough tool. It's been a while since I got a new toy and this fills that gap. If the Home Depot sale is still going buy that. if not see the link below.

I love your videos man keep up the great work
Same here keep it up funk 👍
I’ve had this inflator a few years it’s a good tool not the fastest but got me out of a few jams with a plug kit. There’s been once or twice I’ve helped out a few strangers with it flat tire etc. I recently upgraded to the m18 version .
the m18 is great, so much easier to fill the lawnmower, wheelbarrow, etc. tires up quick without getting out the heavy compressor.
Even if it takes 8 minutes, it's better then a tow!
These are not designed to pump up multiple flat, full size tires. They are designed to top off low tires. But I'm here to tell you they will inflate full size truck tires if you have 4 or 6 ah batteries or multiple smaller ones. These little beasts are LIFE SAVERS. I drive a 4wd F-250 in places that routinely have lots of stuff laying around that isn't tire friendly. If you also have a portable fan, you can run this thing pretty much continuously until you run out of battery. Otherwise, it will thermally shut down to protect itself in hot weather. They got me out of a few jambs and made life easier on many, many occasions. It will fill completely flat wheelbarrow and hand cart or dolly tires, bike tires, or footballs, soccer balls, basketballs etc in seconds. I was so impressed, I got one for every car and family member. The M18 model has a built in cooling fan, multiple presets, is much faster, and pumps a LOT more air. But it's way bigger than these. I now carry the M18 in my truck. Plumbers will love them for pressure testing gas and water lines. I can't recommend them enough. That said, I wish they included a volume blower like the Dewalt model. These aren't the Droids your looking for if you want to fill an air mattress. The M18 compact blower is great for that and comes with the attachments to blow up big volume inflatables.
Nothing like honest reviews! Thank you, sir!
I've had mine for almost two years now and I still sometimes do the 'turn it on, set the PSI, then accidentally turn it off again' routine. I laughed from a place of familiarity when I saw you do it 😂
Haha I’ve done that every time I’ve used so far. 😁
I do it every time. I'll never learn
"I walk through the tool department, as you're required to do" lol true true
I have one on AvE’s recommendation. It’s been good. I took a schrader valve and an air chuck to make an adapter because the straight hose doesn’t fit everything
It's nice. I have the M18 and it's a beast
Edit: 90PSI on the Chevy rears so m12 wasn't enough to fill it.
I think the tire I filled is probably the upper limit for this thing. Good thing is most of what I’ll be using it for will be a lot smaller.
That's actually a pretty neat tool. Love these tool reviews! Also the bluetooth mic makes the sound quality and everything in general a lot better than the old videos
Thanks 😊 I noticed the mic really picks up my breathing really well. I’m gonna have to consciously not be a mouth breather LoL
@@FunkFPV I don't think it's that horrbile. I usually avoided picking up breathing by placing a bigger sponge filter on the mic. But then again that was only on computer headset microphones
@@FunkFPV its so common there is actually software for removing it if you want to deal with it.
I'm retired and don't drive that much anymore so this little guy is perfect for maintaining my tire pressure where it belong. And it beats the hell out of going to the gas station and paying a dollar or two to fill your tires. Most of the time gas station air pumps are broken and you gotta drive around like an idiot looking for one !
I’ve got the dewalt inflator and it’s not as good as this little m12. A buddy of mine at work had the m12 and it never ceases to amaze me how this little m12 outperforms my dewalt 20v inflator. Good video.
I used my inflator several times. Mostly to add air to a leaking tire, about 10 psi in a car tire and motorcycle tires. I found the psi was pretty accurate. It's real easy to use, compared to waiting for the air compressor to fill up and then dragging out the hoses.
Awesome review! Love the shorts and long form vids.
FYI: Home Depot will match Amazon's price if you don't like ordering online.
Thank you for this info
Oh wow really? Thats pretty cool. Now you can get the warranty with the amazon price since amazon is not an authorized dealer the warranty isnt valid if you buy from amazon. Good info HD with price match amazon eventhough its not an authorized dealer
That compressor would be good for a family road trip. I like that you can “set it and?….FORGET IT!”😂 0-50 psi in under 9min sounds reasonable- it’s not like you’re going anywhere. 😏
I’ve used it on my jeep only once but .. about 75 times on friends, family, and it actually works great on basketballs
All the battery powered inflators I've used are less effective than a good bicycle pump. 15-20 mins to inflate a flat tire
I almost passed this video thinking it was another bought review.
Then I realized it was Funk and thought "no shit, finally a legit review"
I have a similar small inflator from another brand. It works very well for inflating my lawn mower tires an car tires. My pickup tires inflate to 75psi and it handles them without a problem. These newer ones from reputable companies are a far cry from the old cheapies from years gone by.
This thing has saved me multiple times. I mean, its probably close to 100 times that I have inflated tires with this thing. Even as high as 90 lbs on a larger vehicle. Just set and forget come back in a few minutes and its all aired up. This one tool almost made me convert to Milwaukee.
I can't explain it, but I could listen to you explain shit all day. And it seems like a lot of other people agree, can't wait to see this channel grow, you are real and hilarious!
Thanks bud
Had this for a few years. Test gas lines with it. Take it to the race track to top off the slicks on my car. It has its place. It's not fun topping off my service trucks tires with though lol. It will get you out of a jam though
Awesome
One of my most used red tools. Not great, but convenient AF.
Just a heads up Milwaukee does not warranty their tools sold through Amazon
I have a buddy who's got one of those and he's been happy with it, and ironically I was planning on buying one soon
Looks like a good inflator but HORRIBLE battery placement, probably gonna keep the ryobi one instead of spending like 350$ on this because apparently Canada doesn't exist and when we do we get 9$ off a 1.5AH useless shit pile.
That battery is a pain in the butt to get out.
Awesome videos
I enjoy them very much
Cheap AvE knock off, I love it!
How long would this take to blow up a blow up doll? Asking for a friend.
I guess it depends on how big it is and what you’re into 😜
I have one and love it for what it is.
It's a nice little air compressor, the fact It's m12 i think means it's kinda meant for cars , vans and not too big stuff .
The bigger tires would probably need an m18 .
Anyway , the sale makes it an absolute steal mate 👍
Impressive for jobs item tires
I got a pops that is 83, barely can see, his tire every few months need to be topped off. Hopefully this is easy enough for him to tackle.
Honestly liking the long form stuff, been seeing this inflator advertised on Amazon the last few weeks. Thanks for the review!
I love this inflator. I used it a lot when I was lazy and didn't want to plug my tire. Just kept refilling it everyday until I actually plugged my tire.
My old car was the same. Once a week I had to top off the front tires because the beads leaked. Now I have this thing and a new truck with tires that don’t leak. Shows how smart I am 😊
Did you just assume that tools gender by saying "turn the GUY on". Wow some people with no respect for tool pro-nouns. Lol jk jk
😜
Girls dont poot ;)
These really should have a 12v lighter plug as a secondary power source. I wouldn’t want to use a tool battery anywhere I have access to that. Added complexity and expense for nothing!
Yeah the presta valve is for road bicycle inner tubes. Very good review and impressed it's m12. I am happy with my m12 tools, but for some reason, the Milwaukee m12 charger failed on me after 6 months. We have an m18 charger at work that failed within a year. Maybe it is from leaving the fully-charged battery on the charger too long? Not sure, but I bought the non-milwaukee chinese m12 charger and it has been fine. It's also a dual port, m12 and m18. Really enjoy your channel and your humor. Thanks for the videos.
My old Ryobi charger used to kill batteries if I left them on the charger. I got in the habit of taking them off when they’re done.
I have had zero issues with mine over the last year of ownership.
I got it because my old boss was always having tire issues and inflating one with his setup was always a pain.
Its sad no matter tha brand or price alot of them are the 10 min bs ones ... Why i went with the smitty built on from Amazon overkill for my car but about 1 min to fill a flat and hooks to battery so no need to charge anything but its still china looks to be the same as others and the bag is complete crap 😑 but ot works great so F it
Great review keep it up
Not bad for the deal you got! Keep up the good work. Make some more drone educational content. Much love from St. Louie!
Would love this for my Wheelchair. Thanks for the Review.
Great review. I love your videos. Only thing missing was that you skipped the actual unboxing. Seems menial, but people love that shit.
I used this thing all the time to inflate my lines and test for leaks. Great for tires, too!
Keep mine in the truck. Great for emergencies. Not the fastest but not bad for on the road kinda needs.
8:55 id trust the Milwaukee digital gauge over that type (have one at work... wasnt lined up right... it scratched off all the lower numbers... and is CONSTANTLY reads 8 pounds low)
.
but id trust the TPMS over everything (as long as its a half ass decent sensor.... not the cheap ass sensors people get from like alibaba or E-bay)
.
.
ya gotta love the people who come into the shop like.....
"my low tire went off.... so i filled it up.... still on, so i filled it up more... still on"
.
end up with like 140 PSI in a 4 ply / 44 PSI max tire
.
"um, person, you almost gave yourself a Darwin award......"
"OMG! wiat, how?"
"by putting 155 PSI into a 44 MAXIMUM!!! tire"
"well, i didnt have a gauge.... and the light stayed on.... so i just filled it up till it was round!"
.
what i wanted to say way "wow, you are so damn stupid, how do you have enough IQ to pass a drivers edu test???"
what i said was "ya, the light or "low tire" message will come on if the tire has TOO!!! much PSI also.........."
"oooohhhhhhh that explains a lot!!!"
.
.
.
and ya.... had that convo with SEVERAL people......
women, man.....redneck, city slicker......... ETC ETC
.
you would be shocked at the amount of 4 plys ive seen with over 100 PSI.........
when you are jumping back after checking the PSI.... because of instinct..... (like, its not gonna blow if its already held that for miles and miles.... but it still shocks your system pretty damn good!!!!)
.
idk.... darwin yourself...
but dont get a blow out because you put 160 darwin pressures into a tire.........and then say the place you got the air from IS WHAT MADE you crash into a school bus full of kids....................
if you would have asked.... we would have told you about the sticker, and filled them up for free!
Meh. I prefer my 60gal compressor with retractable hose. But I fill up stuff in my garage only being engineer working in a office/lab, instead of being a greasy-knuckle contractor lol.
I love mine, makes topping off tires so easy.
Funk man, I swear by my M12 inflator. Bought some knock off 4ah batteries from Amazon (2 for $40 when one is $30.99 LOL) and keep it in my truck. I use it when I go off roading, overlanding and just helping ppl with flats! Only issue is I wish it would deflate tires as it inflates. ICan inflate all four tires from 20 psi to fall at 35 to 36 psi on a 4 amp hour battery
Mine has saved me countless times. I've used it from tires to basketballs. I always keep it near me.
I bought a $40 harbor freight inflator and it barely inflates 1, 16 inch car tire from 15 lbs, not flat, up to 30 lbs before it over heats and shuts off for 10 minutes.
Junk.
I also have a Daytona 4 ton jack. Very well made, good welds heavy duty. Feels like quality.
I need help.
I need to build and inventory of tools, starting from scratch, and these days that means buying into a battery system, and I can't for the life of me decide between Milwaukee or DeWalt's M18/FlexVolt. I know Milwaukee makes better cordless hand tools, but DeWalt offers better yard tools. Milwaukee has better run time on yard tools, but significantly less power. Totally stuck on which system to buy into. Help in deciding would be appreciated. Ideally, I'd have a couple of identical batteries I could use for just about anything.
I greatly appreciate any advice.
nonamericals prefer max number...so if it's 1800grams its 1.8kg or close to 2kg :)
10/10 TH-cam, gave me a notification about this videos four days after it was posted. What is the point of subscribing if you're gonna give me randomly timed notifications.
Good video tho dude thanks
A 10 minute 50% duty cycle means it's only specified to run for 5 minutes within a 10 minute period. So it's not specified to run 10 minutes straight, but only 5 minutes.
Duty cycle is defined as a fraction (or percentage or ratio) of a complete on-and-off cycle period which is 10 minutes in this case.
Presta valve aka French valve. Which are on a lot of racing bicycles and higher-end bicycles e.g. pinarello dogma, specialized s-works, cannonadle system six, etc.
Most inflators only work with schrader valves though because people use them mostly for automotive (cars, trucks, etc.) so you need a presta valve to schrader valve adapter which is what that appears to be.
i’m alrdy all in on the m12 stuff but picked up a m12 circ saw a few months ago that came with (2) 6ah batteries and charger for 200 bucks.. fggn deal and a half!
Love your vids. And that voice is very relaxing. Keep up the great work man. Greetings from Sweden
Nice hearing a down to earth guy doing reviews of stuff I may actually use. You hooked me with the shorts, and now I’m watching these. Keep it up!
Presta valve. When I first ran into one on my bike wheel tube @10yrs ago I was like wtf. Never seen anything but a Schrader valve.
"They probably didn't read the instructions like the rest of us, I'm not judging I just got lucky" the truth this channel spits 😂
Normal video where our man unboxes an item like a normal person. Doesn't orgasm slowly peeling the plastic off. No, just rips it off like a normal human. Struggles like the rest of us figuring out how to new toy works. This is a real channel.
M12 tools are awesome! M18 tools? Meh. I've had to have warranty work done on every single m18 tool I have, except the batteries, which are exceptional! M12? Not a single problem. 👍 Though, I don't have any of their electric ratchets.
It would be interesting to see what it looks like inside. In recent years, more and more compressors have an extremely poor, simplified construction. For example, the piston and connecting rod are one piece! Which quickly shreds the piston seal, after which it all goes to waste. I have also seen this construction in Xiaomi compressors, from which I had (slightly) higher expectations.
Love mine I used it to air up 3 38x12.5R15s on a mud truck took a entire 2.0 battery for each tire but ran till one was full swap battery put on the next tire
Neat video. An inflator for me would just be an unecessary extravagance right now. But a good review and well worth the watch. Loved the bloopers too.
For ppl wanting to save a few bucks getting it on amazon, or any milwaukee tools on amazon, just remember, you may be saving money, but they are not an authorized dealer so you do not get the warranty. So the home depot price being and extra 35-$40 you're getting a 5yr warranty with it...if you keep the receipt. Otherwise they will just go but the seriel number to see when it was made and if it was made later then 5yrs but you bought it within 3 yrs and dont keep the receipt, or buy from amazon, the warranty is no good.
Great TH-camr! Definitely a smart guy! Always look forward to and enjoy your content! Keep up the great work!
Actually this thing won't even inflate my bike tire from flat to full cuse my bike tires require 90 psi in each tire and it struggled to get on tire full. I thought it would be great to put in my back pack for long range bike riding trips and if I got a flat I could patch hole and refill and keep going on my bicycle and that's all it's good for is a emergency on my bike. Good for car tires and stuff under 50 psi
You are my buddy Jeremy's doppelganger. I swear y'all are twins separated at birth
Looks like a decent tool, it's not too big.
Sadly I'm in The Netherlands, so we don't have Home Depot haha 🤣
I got the same kit with 2 x 6.0ah batteries and charger for $199 and also got the inflator. Love it
That would perfect for pressure testing copper pipes , 73 psi would do 5 bar , rather that small inflator than carry a giant compressor around.
I’m a plumber and bought this thing so I didn’t have to inflate the test balloons we use to fill houses up for inspection.
Pumping up a big ass long black weenie in 90+ degree sun with a shitty bike pump gets old. I start this thing and walk away. It’s also far smaller and faster than a bike pump to do the same thing in these tiny modern crawl spaces that barely meet legal requirements.
Thanks for the heads up on that deal. I have been eyeing that stapler for a while but its never on sale and I refused to pay full price knowing as soon as I did it would be discounted.
For anyone that hasnt seen it check out AvE's video on it as it seems like someone that actually used it designed it. I am so over using staple guns!
Honestly I like it I use it rarely but it works I’ve had it for 2 and half yrs I wouldn’t recommend for every day use but it’s nice to have when you need it type of tool
My friend bought one 2 weeks ago. First time he used it it exploded. He returned it and got the m18 version
Required it's a must to walk through the tool department! It's hard to walk out with nothing even if you don't need it.
Im getting one for the drag strip. Need to air down while racing and air back up when u leave. Having my own inflator will cut off 20-30 mins of waiting in line at the end of the night.
Thanks for the video, I was thinking about purchasing this one.
I go to the obx 4x4 beach multiple times a year and I use one of these every time and it fills all of my K02’s but no it’s not the fastest and will overheat if used in direct sunlight
Funk fpv is like the family friendly version of uncle bumblefuck
Choochin...a highly technical term only us FUNKIES can understand 😳 thanks FUNK for the awesome review!
"And then I started reading. Which I hate to do because it gives me a headache."
🤣🤣🤣 ☠️
I use one of those about once a week - my old beat up tires (or rims maybe) lose air about that quickly. Those little inflators are great - and a battery one is nice so you don't have to run your car to inflate the tires (though that might be better on the road).
Its so hard to find pure genuine common sense anywhere these days, let alone on the internet, and youtube worse. Keep up the amazing witty content, I crack up on every one.
Battery capacity meters are quite sketchy as rate of discharge changes the measure.
Same effect applies to charging. Fast charging is less efficient.
These inflators are perfect for the top off and small tire use.
Bought mine a year or so ago and carry it in my truck everyday save me several times with camper tires kids balls and flats on the side of the road even fixed a pitching machine for my boys baseball team worth every penny
I use a Harbor Freight air compressor that runs off the car battery. Works a little faster but runs kind of hot. Wouldn’t want to run out of batteries running this
I have a small cheep tire inflater type thing I got out of my old Hyundai elantra its a cheep piece of plastic but that damn thing has come in handy several times I've gotten more value of it than the pos car it came with been looking for a better version of it cause I doubt its gonna last to much longer
I've used one for a few months and it's great for small jobs. I also accidentally turn it off instead of starting it like he did at least once per use.
Nice now I have an excuse to sell my Ryobi Inflator and batteries. One less battery system to worry about.
Dude I walked by that i inflator last week and almost bought it.. after your video now I have to lol
Got hooked on your short videos and really like your stuff thanks for keeping real
You should weigh a nickel so you know your scale is good. Nickels weigh 5 grams
Could you make second measures in Celsius degrees? You have viewers all over the world.
First i thought i dont need one, but after watching your review i think it would be a great thing to have! Thanks!
Pesta inflator I think is what they call these I don’t know hunny. Is that what he really said?
How can someone be serious, funny, and seriously funny at the same time
