    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.

      Agreed. Probably 0.1% of people have a truck with a large volume 85psi tire. Most of us have bicycles, wheelbarrows, and cars/trucks with 35psi tires and this little guy can handle those without any problem.

      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.

    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.

  • @ryanfischer6550

    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 wanna see a real world test of this though. Use it to air up a bike tire from totally flat and a small trailer tire and lawn mower tire. 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.

    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.

    @3dloon430 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    I have the M12 Milwaukee inflator and I love mine I use the six amp battery and I air up tractor tires, truck tires to Riding lawnmowers and on long road trips with the trailer if I pick up a used car and you know all the tires will be flat, I like it because it’s so small that I can take it with me anywhere, I definitely recommend it.

    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 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!

    I love my M12 inflator. As I started switching over my tools to contractor grade, my father in law gave me the inflator for Christmas. 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.

    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 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.

    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!

  • @alextran8188

    The m12 inflator is one of the best purchases I've made. The great part is the independent power source, and you don't have to use a 12v socket and wrap up the cable when you're done. Also fyi they are making a m18 inflator as well.

    I love my HF 100psi inflator. I do put the vehicle up on a Jack to give it a fighting chance, but for $40 (had both of mine since they were $30) it will fill enough air to get me to a compressor. 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!

    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.

Well I get a call driving to work yesterday her Tire light was on told her I will check her tires when I get home tonight she calls me back 15 mins later says I used your Christmas gift We got you cars good 3 out of 4 tires were low must be the cold ...I laughed inflator is so simple she not only took care of things herself but quickly and like you or I checked all 4 because of how simple it is to use ... Now why do I call in a beast ? We she told her mom her sister and girlfriends I found out from my neighbor they was a tire "air checking" party at our house he walked over to see what was going on told me 5 cars they were playing with the compressor ... I asked her later on did you have fun she told they all did ...

    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.

Several off roading trips and it’s earned a place in my toolbox. Mine is the Amazon basics brand

  • @SpicySteve-tz2so
    @SpicySteve-tz2so 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    $120 is steep for something that you need multiple batteries for. If you already own Milwaukee tools, that is a win, but the time it took seems like that could be improved on. I bought a Ryobi 18v inflator on clearance for $15 regularly $36. I have all Ryobi cordless tools so this just made sense to try out. For a top off of a tire or 2 it is wonderful. I also have a large 5 gallon air tank if a tire needs more than that. For the bigger tasks I have 100' hose reel to get from the garage and compressor to the front driveway. You still cant beat a compressor for so many things, blowing out filters, spraying polyurethane on my projects, using my air stapler and nailer. Tools I haven't upgraded to cordless yet. For emergencies on the road, this might be something that gives you peace of mind as well as the fizz...not me though.

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 have a Kobalt compressor from Lowes that uses the Kobalt Batteries works just like the Milwaukee it is much flatter than the Milwaukee costs $69.00. Had for three years has never failed. Normal cars and SUVs tires never are inflated to over 40 psi. These compressors were never intended to do 80 psi. I have been very impressed with the Kobalt tools. They are Manufactured by Chevron and the 24v Lithium batteries are much cheaper than competitors.

    Maybe u haven't been to wally lately but here in Canada they sell the Goodyear it has the exact same interface as milk and the the same brass fittings with supple hose does exact same thing and goes from flat to 32 psi in 6 mins or less. For 39 bux. I should also mention it has a extra hose for blowing up your ski tubes and towables or your air bed etc. Only thing that sux it the cord storage. Same as all the ones I've had in my lifetime. But I've tortured that Goodyear doing 3 full flats on 02 f150 good size tires on it. All 3 back to back to back. No issues used it at least 50x and done my parts f150 (just looks better parked near road with the tires inflated or when the landlord is coming by) but I've done that truck back to back at least 8x. Still going strong.

Cordless is great as long as the batteries are good but I like have full power always ready with the compressor. It takes a lot less time to fill the tank than to charge the batteries.

    I still use air compressors and that's for tires, spraying job’s, if it's a small one I use a 5 gallon compressor if it's a large job or a bunch of tires I use the large air compressor.

    I bought the Dewalt and it's bad ass! It uses the big battery and has no problem going up to 80psi. It's bigger but still compact. You should test that bad boy! Also it will inflate blow up pool toys and other blow-up toys.

    Just got a higher end 12v ring compressor. Works great, isn't noisy and I can leave it in the truck indefinitely with no need to re charge batteries. Pumps to 50psi in 10 mins. Recommended

  • @consaka1
    @consaka1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ok I need at least two of those for parts. I like the auto stop for whatever pressure I want. But my compressor setup in my van is a lot better than that. In fact better than both of those put together. Nothing worse than noisy compressors.
    Pretty sure I could have taken that tire completely flat to full in less than 5 minutes. Remember folks if the cheap compressor says it pumps up to 250psi you don't want that. What you want is CFM. A 10 CFM that maxes at 60 psi is much much much better than a 0.2 CFM pump at 250psi.
    Also if you want something just to throw in your trunk for whenever you might need it make sure it's corded. Mark my word you will forget to top the charge up on a cordless one.
    A good cordless one is more for having at the house in case you need to top off a low tire and you don't have any other compressor. Good for the sports equipment too.

    I looked at that compressor while I was trying to decide between brands. In the end i ultimately went with dewalt’s compressor. 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.

  • @jonniessink1
    @jonniessink1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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've got a slime inflator. Have had several. The one he has is one of the cheapest ones. Spend 100 on a slime and you're getting a much better inflator than the Milwaukee for less money. The one I've got can pump a trailer tire from flat to 90psi in 15 min or less. Although I am required to use my truck battery I'm not required to carry a charger on a long trip.

  • @elBusDriverKC
    @elBusDriverKC 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @kaibaumgartner7721
    @kaibaumgartner7721 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    the M18 Version of the Milwaukee does a truck tire from 0-80psi in 12 min, this job is more suited for that job. The M12 is for topping off tires or car tires.

  • @280zone
    @280zone 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree these are not built for our bigger truck tires, especially up to 80 psi. I carry mine with me to adjust my air bags for towing, love the fact it automatically turns off (I still keep an eye on it). Also don't forget the instructions say on for 10 mins off for 10 mins.

I have a compressor but this Milwaukee looks great for traveling.

    That was a tall order! Glad you didn't need a fire extinguisher. The burning question on my mind is how accurate is the gauge on the M12? I picked up an 18v Ryobi for very short money but heard the pressure gauge was useless. Testing it against 2 other gauges, I got all different readings a few pounds apart😂

  • @CowsGoM3ow
    @CowsGoM3ow 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The M12 is great adding 5-20 psi a tire (under 55 psi for light duty sized truck tires or smaller).
    It'll air up 1-2 tires from 0 in a pinch, but that is just using the wrong tool for the job.
    Can't wait till the M18 version comes out.

    Love the set it and forget it. So if I understood correctly, they were brand new out of the box batteries and have never been charged. If so that's not an accurate test because lithium batteries are not shipped with a full charge.
