When I’m tired of listening to music or podcasts while driving, I play this 15 minute video of air compressors to pretend I’m in a loud cockpit of some type of aircraft. It adds at least an additional 20mph perception to how fast I’m actually going. Thanks for the video.
I own Milwaukee m12 tools, and dewalt 20v. I love them both. I was all set to buy the m12 inflator due to its compact size. Then I realized that the dewalt was able to use THREE different power options. Battery, cigarette lighter, and standard wall outlet. That changed my choice, if your battery dies, you have other options. Thats a win. Brought home the dewalt today
Dewalt doesn’t sell the inflator in a kit with a battery and charger like Milwaukee does, so if you don’t already have Dewalt batteries/charger, that puts the total price around $230 (compared to $160 for Milwaukee). And if you want the Dewalt to work on 110v A/C power, you have to buy that adapter separately as well.
I have the DeWalt also, but it does not inflate from the car 12v plug. Always get a LoP warning. Works best with the wall power outlet, no issues with power or inflation when plugged in. So, this the DeWalt is great for home use, but worthless on the road. In the above video, I assume the 20v battery was fully charged, and he only got 2 inflations. Pretty impotent.
@@rayF4rio He used a 1.5 AH battery...the SMALLEST DeWalt makes. Also, your car lighter/12V outlet was most likely the issue with the 12v function on the inflator.
Dude the Milwaukee is hands down the best, specially cuz the size! Few of my friends and family got it too, I did not hear any complaints yet, and has been like year an half.
I have the dewalt. I checked a couple times with a manual gage just to make sure, and both were within 1PSI, plenty close enough for most applications.
Daniel Barber That’s a marketing gimick. It’s got the same amount of 1.2 volt cells as other 18 volt batteries. DeWALT just markets it as 20 Volt* (When it’s fresh off the charger and not used yet). That applies to all batteries, DeWALT just advertises it to sound like you’re getting more. P.s. Now make this the “Highlighted reply”.
The tank mounted Ryobi compressor must be double the CFM output of the others. It would have been even faster if you would just hook a tire chuck straight to the tire and used the air regulator with the 2nd gauge on it to set your tires pressure. (compressors pump less volume at higher pressures) The other battery powered compressors must be teeny tiny to take so long and I hear most of them tend to run very hot and don't have very good fan cooling. So Take off the inflator pistol grip thing you have. Get a lock-on tire chuck and screw it on to your hose end or quick couple it onto the air hose end. Set the output line pressure regulator on the Ryobi with the tank to whatever tire pressure you want. Get in your car and let it pump up to 40 psi or whatever and it will shut off after it does that, and it will fill its tank up to a higher pressure also to boot! The tank mounted Ryobi is the only good choice here. For convenience and speed and ease of use once you set it up. Any other brand of the same size and output on a tank would be the same also! It would also be the only one that could air up a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup or SUV tire I bet. The others would be in thermal meltdown and need multiple batteries to hit the 70 psi required on those tires. They are marginal even on car and small truck tires it looks like to me.
The Milwaukee and Ryobi units have one huge draw back when used for auto use. That is due to their reliance of having one source if power - battery pack. The Dewalt wins out because it is the only one that can be used with battery pack, 12V DC, or 120V AC. The clear winner especially if your vehicle doesn't have a power converter and you don't carry a battery charging station.
how can you include the ryobi air compressor in the test when you were not holding it continuous throughout the whole time that you were testing? sounds like the bias was already the milwaukee from the beginning
Good video! It helps me to choose the Milwaukee. I already have batteries for it. I also like the the Dewalt as you can plug it onto your vehicle battery, but the size, speed and the big screen would make me choose the Milwaukee if I was starting from scratch (no Milwaukee batteries). Thank you!
Check out the new 20v Worx pump. You can run their 2.0, 4.0 or 6.0 amp battery. Its smaller i dont know how it would compare to those but they make some good tools.
It sure seemed like the final pressure target wasn’t the same on all. The Milwaukee was 31. Dewalt was 31.5. Ryobi was 32. Am I wrong? Maybe I missed something.
So they all stop at different pressures... the ryobi goes +1 psi from target and the dewalt is +.5 psi above target and the Milwaukee stops on target. Good eye and thanks for the comment
True but when you first put your hand on it you can turn it on and let it begin filling the tank so by the time your going the Chuck on the tire its full.
I appreciate the agenda free comparison. But, unless you're on a bicycle, a battery powered inflator makes zero sense to me. Having a 12V cig/accessory plug, vehicle battery clips, or SAE connector, with ability to use an AC adapter would be the best portable solution, imo.
I like the battery option. I’ve owned several 12 V cigarette lighter powered inflator‘s over the years. I much prefer my 18 V Ryobi. Maybe it’s just my jeep has spent too much time with the top off, but off and I found those cigarette outlet type power ports get a little fussy. I also like the added range of being able to inflate Tires on my trailer while it’s still connected. Center store my trailers away from home if I get there and found the tire is low I can sort that out right then and there.
@@ge99ne I appreciate your reply. I'm sure there are folks (like you) where a batt version suits their needs. I just don't want to be out somewhere with a low tire situation, and find my pump has a dead battery.
Very true, ironically the last person I helped with a flat had a 12v cigarette lighter only pump that did not work. I had to cut the wire and hold it to the battery of my car
Use the bigger battery on the dewalt and it works better. Or work trucks have 80 pounds in the back tires and it does a great job faster than this video
I'd say, stay with the lineup tool u have. I am a black and yellow team, I know for a fact that the dewalt beats any brand for continuous running or high-pressure tires like 80 psi. Milwaukee shots off after 20 mins, wait another 20 mins to cool down and then run again.
I have always preferred the dewalt tools, and those 1.3 and 1.5 AH batteries are always disappointing. I bet that compressor would have performed much better with a 4 ah battery
From experience 9320 miles trip. The Ryobi outtakes them all in battery life, that’s the most important thing. No problem doing 2 full-size 225/55/17 or 235/75/15 tires and having power left for emergency, like pumping up the kids beach toys at the beach 🏖. One or two 5.0 batteries from Ryobi with you and you’re good. If you’re still on the sensitive side you can buy the cigarette lighter charger or a Converter 110/220 and charge up Ryobi batteries. Great video stay safe
I plan to make a few bucks with my tractor supply set up. At the end of the day guys are always looking for someone to help them air up. A couple bucks each time adds up. Look at my comment below.
I've seen tests of the Milwaukee M18 Fuel with an 8Ah battery that were amazing. Very fast, delivered high pressure for truck tyres & did about 25 tyres in one battery. However, it is expensive & that is a HUGE battery. Of these ones I'd get the Ryobi Compressor (space is not really an issue for my vehicle) & I have about 12 Ryobi 18+ tools, so lots of 4 & 5Ah batteries.
I have a mixture of Milwaukee and Dewalt tools depending on the application. I went for the Dewalt compressor with the optional 115v adaptor. This gives me 3 sources of power. When I’m home I use the adaptor and when I’m away I can use battery or plug into the cigarette lighter.
Why not run each one separately for better accuracy? Then, edit your video to show the results. It would give a fairer representation for each compressor.
The Ryobi compressor will run for half an hour on a fully charged 4Ah battery. It could also have been a little quicker if you had set the regulator for 31psi and just used the air chuck's gauge to monitor the pressure.
I have a few of the Milwaukee pumps and they pump noticeably better and faster with a 4 amp or a 6 amp hour battery in it than it does with the two amp power batteries I don't even waste my time putting the two amp hour batteries in them anymore.
If you’re gonna keep one of these in the car then it has to have a 12V cable as well. Because you know on a darn cold night is when your drill batteries will be dead. So yeah. Need a plug in option as well. Just my 2 cents!
I think you should be more compatible with the batteries the dewalt only had 1.5 amp redo with a 4amp battery and let’s see if there’s a difference, love the video by the way
If you would shut down the noise we could hear what you are saying, how many minuets for the Milwaukee? You now answered my question I did buy the Milwaukee before viewing your channel other than being loud and trying to fit extra large thumb and four finger into the narrow slots to compress the battery release tabs I give it high marks and since I already have the 12-18V charger it makes good sense as for me Milwaukee tools and batteries seem to out last the others.
I own Milwaukee and use the snot out of it and ruff service life. That unit is the one I suggest. I mean it gets slammed around in my service truck and works every time I need it. And owned a long while now.
By far the ryob compressor. So much more practical all around. Bradnails, staple guns, sprayers...not to mention the fact that it filled the tire faster than you can get in and out of the car.
I love my Milwaukee compressor, just wish it was 18v I use it for pressure testing gas service lines to 100 psi. It takes about 2 min for a 1/2” line at 100’ and about 4.5 min for a 1” at 100’.
You should of used the same size battery batteries for all whether it’s a 2amp or 5amp. Also, if a person is already on a certain battery platform, it doesn’t make sense to buy a different manufacturer just to have something in the car. I happen to be on a dewalt platform, and I’m happy with the inflator, excellent for tire pressure maintenance.
You're right, and if I had the same size I would have used them. Keep in mind they are different voltages also so even with same amp hours they are not apples to apples. Thanks for your comment
The larger ryobi was able to inflate the your setting in half the time as the others. Time matters thanks for selling me on the larger ryobi. Both ryobi air compressor batteries lasted longer.
If you noticed he also stoped using the compressor ryobi several times and it still beat the others, and had more battery left to do the second test. My hand air gadge for my compressor has a lock.
Remember he startet with a full tank on it. Add 2 more minutes for the tank to fill up first time too. And it take 3x the space compared milwaukee. Non of these are made for using tools with them. So they are only good at filling footballs, tires and airmadrasses.
It looks as if the Ryobi air compressor started out with stored air in its tank, going by the pressure gauge? If so, this gives it a much greater advantage.
Just a suggestion.... I like the way you did your comparison, except you should have used larger Amp hour batteries. Using a larger Amp hour battery makes all the difference in the world. Longer run time, not just 10 minutes, and faster inflation of your tires. Personally, after your comparison, I prefer Dewalt.🔧
Put a compressor that runs off your truck battery in your truck. All these battery operated ones will let you down if you really need it. Great review.
Why will the battery ones let you down? You must forget to keep your batteries charged with an extra one on hand. That’s not DeWALT’s fault, now is it?
You do realize you're comparing three inflators that have ZERO air storage against one that is starting out with a full tank of air? For a level playing field all four need to start from zero. That nicer Ryobi model is starting the race with one gallon of air stored at what...90 psi? But it is the more versatile compressor of the lot. I wish they made a 40 volt version.
This video really blows! Sorry...couldn't resist! Lol I wonder how much longer it'd take airing up a tire that's mounted on the vehicle (the weight of the vehicle would certainly affect it?!
Upon learning I had a low tire, go to the gas station. Guy in front of me inflating his tires (fine). Then he gets out from the truck bed to inflate a steel air tank with an air nozzle receptacle (okay?). Result is the gas station inflator cannot handle the job inflating the steel air tank probably due to psi, and guy is getting upset by the minute instead of stopping. The guy then proceeds to beat the gas station air inflator onto the pavement over a dozen times. I leave knowing that now beat up air inflator will never work for me despite putting my money in the machine.
get a dual stage comp high volume low psi and high pressure for hi psi I Personally use a Smittybilt one clamps to my batter lugs and 37" 12.5" from 12 psi ro 37 in under 5 mins. used it for last 5 years weekend wheeling its solid !!!
Why don’t they put a better tip on that compressor (or maybe one could be adapted)… does it automatically shut off or am I asking a question that was very obvious in the video?!?
Great video. Like others say, very impressive the smaller Milwaukee kept up w/ a 12V system. No surprise the air-tank Ryobi was fastest, but I thought Dewalt would've been faster considering 20V and size. For me, I'm going w/ the Milwaukee: smallest, have 2x other M12 tools in my truck (impact/ratchet) w/4maH and 6maH, so battery modularity is easiest, and I have confidence in Milwaukee products in my experience. I've had issues w/ Ryobi batteries in the winter not working consistently (18V w/ Brad nailer). To each their own. Thanks for the upload.
I have the M12 inflator and overall, it works great especially considering I bought it on sale BUT, I think the Dewalt version is better from what I've seen. Also, the Dewalt offers an alternative power source whereas the M12 doesn't. Love the tiny aize on the M12 though. You can't have everything, I guess depending on what batteries you already own will determine what you buy. I own about 9 M12 batteries at this point so Milwaukee all the way for me.
You can make an adapter for the 12v milwaukee to run off your cars 12v outlet. I made one for mine using an old 12v battery and a cable ordered off amazon
Make a note that the ryobi with the inflator wears out. Ive gone through 2 of them. If i had to guess, i probably used them about 50 time from 15 psi to 44psi before the inside gives out (bearings i think wear out and starts making a really bad loud noise).
I like the Dewalt option it's 100% the best the only reason why I got the m12 is because I was in a pinch and my tire was flat, luckily I wear a heated hoodie with a 6ah battery. Unfortunately my tire was bursted but overall it's a good choice for those who already own milwaukee tools and it's compact.
Tractor supply sells a compact 2 gallon unit. $69.00. I put a 1500 watt inverter in my rig to run it. Having the inverter gives you plenty of options to run other things. Coffee maker, microwave etc. I hard wired it to my battery so I don't have to fool around with cables. Take a look. Have fun.
When I’m tired of listening to music or podcasts while driving, I play this 15 minute video of air compressors to pretend I’m in a loud cockpit of some type of aircraft. It adds at least an additional 20mph perception to how fast I’m actually going. Thanks for the video.
I actually laughed out loud at this.

This was my thought as well. That option leaves the others in the dust.
I have the Milwaukee as well and it is fantastic even better and quicker with a 6 amp battery
Good comparison video. I think i'm going with the Dewalt since I already have a couple of the 20v batteries. Thanks for posting!
Dude the Milwaukee is hands down the best, specially cuz the size!
Few of my friends and family got it too, I did not hear any complaints yet, and has been like year an half.
Nice comparison. You should have manually checked the air pressure once they hit 32 psi to see how accurate each one was as well.
It was done in a different video. Ryobi was way off and dewalt was the closest to accurate.
@@John-771 nice, I'll have to check it out
I have the dewalt. I checked a couple times with a manual gage just to make sure, and both were within 1PSI, plenty close enough for most applications.
Even more impressive is that the Milwaukee is only a 12 volt while the DeWALT and Ryobi are 18 volt.
The dewalt is 20v
Daniel Barber That’s a marketing gimick. It’s got the same amount of 1.2 volt cells as other 18 volt batteries. DeWALT just markets it as 20 Volt* (When it’s fresh off the charger and not used yet). That applies to all batteries, DeWALT just advertises it to sound like you’re getting more.

I'll do another video to test those suggestions
I just tested out your suggestion, check out my latest video.
The Milwaukee and Ryobi units have one huge draw back when used for auto use. That is due to their reliance of having one source if power - battery pack. The Dewalt wins out because it is the only one that can be used with battery pack, 12V DC, or 120V AC. The clear winner especially if your vehicle doesn't have a power converter and you don't carry a battery charging station.
I would probably get the ryobi with the tank, looks like you could use it for other things as well.
@@MrFathead yes it's my favorite I think

This is like watching compressed air
how can you include the ryobi air compressor in the test when you were not holding it continuous throughout the whole time that you were testing? sounds like the bias was already the milwaukee from the beginning
Milwaulkee makes more pressure and that is what you want the others are volume thats why it passed all the rest up.
use the bigger ah batteries on the mil. use the 4.0 or 6.0
Nice comparison video

In order for this to have been a fair test. You would have had to use the same size battery in each inflator.
No they use different Voltages and even the same amp hour rating doesn't mean they are equal.
Definitely the most annoying sounding video I’ve seen in a long time lol Thank you for doing that though!
Thanks! Do more like this!
Great video. I'm in the market for a portable compressor for offloading.
Check out the new 20v Worx pump. You can run their 2.0, 4.0 or 6.0 amp battery. Its smaller i dont know how it would compare to those but they make some good tools.
Why would you use an M12 inflater vs the 18v-20v others? Milwaukee makes M18 inflators!
I like the smaller size.
well done
I really liked my m12. Until it died. Now when I turn it on the overheat light comes on and it doesn’t work. I won’t buy another one.

The Dewalt, and I'd assume the Ryobi, goes a little higher to account for loss when disconnecting the hose.
Damn I came here for information not to listen to a sick ass compressor beat 🥵😳
The beat is a bonus
Does ryobi or the others fill semi tire ?
In about a week
The compressor would not have won if you would have started with no air in the tank. In a real world situation it would have been empty to start with
True but when you first put your hand on it you can turn it on and let it begin filling the tank so by the time your going the Chuck on the tire its full.

Use the bigger battery on the dewalt and it works better. Or work trucks have 80 pounds in the back tires and it does a great job faster than this video
You should have put a zip tie around the trigger on ryobi.
Good idea!
Is there an inflator out there that does NOT use a cigarette lighter? 🤔🥺
Only one in my test
Milwaukee in second with a 12V tool. All of the others were 18V or higher. I’m impressed.
Yeah they can do a lot with 12v.
Not only that it was the smaller battery.
Pair the milwaukee with a 4 or 6ah battery and it is a great setup to keep just in case
@@apocalypse2941 should have had that xc battery on the tailgate on it.

I use it for pressure testing gas service lines to 100 psi. It takes about 2 min for a 1/2” line at 100’ and about 4.5 min for a 1” at 100’.
Watch my video on the m18 compressor and inflator.
You should of used the same size battery batteries for all whether it’s a 2amp or 5amp. Also, if a person is already on a certain battery platform, it doesn’t make sense to buy a different manufacturer just to have something in the car. I happen to be on a dewalt platform, and I’m happy with the inflator, excellent for tire pressure maintenance.
You're right, and if I had the same size I would have used them. Keep in mind they are different voltages also so even with same amp hours they are not apples to apples. Thanks for your comment
I can’t believe I just watched this entire video lol
The larger ryobi was able to inflate the your setting in half the time as the others. Time matters thanks for selling me on the larger ryobi. Both ryobi air compressor batteries lasted longer.
And they are cheaper!
If you noticed he also stoped using the compressor ryobi several times and it still beat the others, and had more battery left to do the second test. My hand air gadge for my compressor has a lock.
Remember ryobi 18v batteries also fit about a hundred different tools other brands change batteries every year or so.
Remember he startet with a full tank on it. Add 2 more minutes for the tank to fill up first time too. And it take 3x the space compared milwaukee. Non of these are made for using tools with them. So they are only good at filling footballs, tires and airmadrasses.

It looks as if the Ryobi air compressor started out with stored air in its tank, going by the pressure gauge? If so, this gives it a much greater advantage.
Yes, I did it that way because it can be stored full. Without the air chuck it seems to retain its pressure.
@@apocalypse2941 you shouldn't store a compressor with air in the tank the moisture leads to rust. You should dran the tank after every use.
Did you also mention that the Milwaukee is only 12V compared to 18 and 20V?
DeWalt 20V is only marketing. In Europe it is 18V.
Torvikholm thats not what the point was.
I had that small Ryobi, Gave it to my sister, and got the Milwaukee...
Over 7 minutes they all failed! Im goin back to my huge compressor.
Just a suggestion....
I like the way you did your comparison, except you should have used larger Amp hour batteries.
Using a larger Amp hour battery makes all the difference in the world.
Longer run time, not just 10 minutes, and faster inflation of your tires.
Personally, after your comparison, I prefer Dewalt.🔧
Thanks, check out my follow video with bigger batteries.
Put a compressor that runs off your truck battery in your truck. All these battery operated ones will let you down if you really need it. Great review.
The dewalt can plug up to the car.
Why will the battery ones let you down? You must forget to keep your batteries charged with an extra one on hand. That’s not DeWALT’s fault, now is it?
Ryobi make a charger that plugs in to you 12 outlet
@@catlady8324 some people are so dumb aren't they
The Milwaukee one is definitely a battery hog. You should really use the 6.0 or keep a spare.
If you don't need cordless, check out the superflow mv50 12volt or the large $70 harbor freight 12v compressor, both are fairly quick and inexpensive
Which on is the quietest?
You do realize you're comparing three inflators that have ZERO air storage against one that is starting out with a full tank of air? For a level playing field all four need to start from zero. That nicer Ryobi model is starting the race with one gallon of air stored at what...90 psi? But it is the more versatile compressor of the lot. I wish they made a 40 volt version.
Yeah good point!
The one with the tank won
This video really blows! Sorry...couldn't resist! Lol
I wonder how much longer it'd take airing up a tire that's mounted on the vehicle (the weight of the vehicle would certainly affect it?!
Good question
Upon learning I had a low tire, go to the gas station. Guy in front of me inflating his tires (fine). Then he gets out from the truck bed to inflate a steel air tank with an air nozzle receptacle (okay?). Result is the gas station inflator cannot handle the job inflating the steel air tank probably due to psi, and guy is getting upset by the minute instead of stopping.
The guy then proceeds to beat the gas station air inflator onto the pavement over a dozen times.
I leave knowing that now beat up air inflator will never work for me despite putting my money in the machine.
People are crazy
Nothing fast about airing up truck tires on the side of the road! Takes like 15-20 minutes for my harbor freight air compressor to get to 50-60psi.
Just put it back in the box properly so they can resell it again after returning it at HD lol
My dewalt compressor only lasted 4 months,now it won't work
get a dual stage comp high volume low psi and high pressure for hi psi I Personally use a Smittybilt one clamps to my batter lugs and 37" 12.5" from 12 psi ro 37 in under 5 mins. used it for last 5 years weekend wheeling its solid !!!
I will go with the Ryobi air compressor, yes multi functions for me
Just bought one today - and the inflator yesterday.
Why don’t they put a better tip on that compressor (or maybe one could be adapted)… does it automatically shut off or am I asking a question that was very obvious in the video?!?
The air chuck doesn't come with it, I have since upgraded.
yeah milwalkee is 12v and out performed 18volt LOL
I bet them neighbors are mad as hell!! 😂😂😂
4ah on the Milwaukee was able to add ~10psi each to 8 consecutive tires (4 of which up to 62psi) and still had 1 bar left
Hard to complain about that
Bro for the compressor i have the same i have a rubber band or a couple of zip locks i dont have to hold anything ;)
Great idea
You should've done the test but Milwaukee's next step up a little bigger
I kind of like the idea of being able to plug into the car with the dewalt, just in case the battery runs low.
Yeah that is a great backup plan. As you saw the battery died and I could have plugged it up to finish easily. Thanks for the comment
Milwaukee one not good for tires. Takes all night just making noise
Great video. Like others say, very impressive the smaller Milwaukee kept up w/ a 12V system. No surprise the air-tank Ryobi was fastest, but I thought Dewalt would've been faster considering 20V and size. For me, I'm going w/ the Milwaukee: smallest, have 2x other M12 tools in my truck (impact/ratchet) w/4maH and 6maH, so battery modularity is easiest, and I have confidence in Milwaukee products in my experience. I've had issues w/ Ryobi batteries in the winter not working consistently (18V w/ Brad nailer).
To each their own. Thanks for the upload.
Dewalts 20v is nominal 18v. No dewalt ever actually performs at 20v
A lot of people wanted the DeWalt to do better too! I think it's downgraded so that it can use the cigarette lighter plug without blowing something
I have the M12 inflator and overall, it works great especially considering I bought it on sale BUT, I think the Dewalt version is better from what I've seen. Also, the Dewalt offers an alternative power source whereas the M12 doesn't. Love the tiny aize on the M12 though. You can't have everything, I guess depending on what batteries you already own will determine what you buy. I own about 9 M12 batteries at this point so Milwaukee all the way for me.
You can make an adapter for the 12v milwaukee to run off your cars 12v outlet. I made one for mine using an old 12v battery and a cable ordered off amazon
@@doubleas88 better to buy dewalt no fucking around and voiding warranty .
Omg that’s still so long to fill...our cat 🐱 says just keep driving ...even on steel rims people can run from police 🚔
😆
Great 👍 video thanks
I own the Milwaukee and love it. Its small and powerful, and quick.
Thats what she said
@@bilbombe LOL!!! Tell her to keep the spare battery ready.
@@diamondjaguar 6amp will do 4 with ease
Make a note that the ryobi with the inflator wears out. Ive gone through 2 of them. If i had to guess, i probably used them about 50 time from 15 psi to 44psi before the inside gives out (bearings i think wear out and starts making a really bad loud noise).
But truthfully you need to do this independant of each other.
I like the Dewalt option it's 100% the best the only reason why I got the m12 is because I was in a pinch and my tire was flat, luckily I wear a heated hoodie with a 6ah battery.
Unfortunately my tire was bursted but overall it's a good choice for those who already own milwaukee tools and it's compact.
Tractor supply sells a compact 2 gallon unit. $69.00. I put a 1500 watt inverter in my rig to run it. Having the inverter gives you plenty of options to run other things. Coffee maker, microwave etc. I hard wired it to my battery so I don't have to fool around with cables. Take a look. Have fun.
