DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator (DCC020IB) connected to ac through the N557514 power supply plus any other pump you think is good to try. Interested in: 1. Time to pump a tire 0 to 35 psi. 2. Time to pump a tire 0 to 80 psi. 3. Accuracy of the gauge when the pump is not pumping. (The difference between the gauge and a calibrated gage) 4. Consistency of the gauge (showing almost the same result when tried a few times even if it is off by some PSI) (metric: Standard deviation) 5. Accuracy of the auto-shutoff at correct PSI. 6. Running time before turns off because of getting hot. 7. Build quality if possible. Thanks!
Not all heroes wear capes. I too echo how much I rely on your unbiased reviews. Please don't ever sell out to the sponsors I'm sure are knocking your door down. Thank you for what you do.
Yes absolutely we recently bought a house and have painting to do and thanks it his video we know what tape and paint works best. Love the channel keep up the great work.
And we NEED so much a TH-cam channel just like this one here in Europe! Most of those american brands DO NOT sell those consumer products in here. I mean we have power tools and professional tools from DeWalt, Millwakee, etc, but not those small products for home or farm use. Even so, this channel is one of the best channels ever!
This is without question one of the best channels on TH-cam. Honest, unbiased, accurate and in-depth testing. You not only learn what tools are worth buying but get some really good knowledge on how equipment can (and should) be tested. Well done sir.
@@ProjectFarm My car battery went dead and didn't use it for a long time, so now tires need air. So I bought this model {$27.19} due to the reviews { AstroAI Air Compressor Tire Inflator Portable Air Pump for Car Tires 12V DC Auto Tire Pump with Digital Pressure Gauge, 100PSI} to inflate my tires , it's being delivered tomorrow. Thing is it only runs on car cigarette lighter and I didn't realize this when I bought it ,so it's no use to me, because my car battery is dead, UGH. PS: Can you just do reviews on models for cigarette models only, those that need to be charged ,and those that only work on foot pedal. Each type needs its own category . Thanks.
I Decided I was going to start a review Channel Testing products then I started making up the tests and then I started performing the tests. Then I tried putting it together into a video then I gave up. The energy you put into these tests is amazing

Great comparison. It's awesome that the battery powered compressors were compared with the winner of the 12V. I'm getting ready to buy a portable compressor and I'm going with the Ryobi - low cost and great performance. Thanks for doing the video!
It was great that you included the HF vehicle powered pump. That changes my mind. I was set on getting a quality cordless unit because of their portability and i thought they were alot faster. Turns out, they are not. Im going to check out one of the viair type pumps.
Airhawk is okay for emergencies,it no replacement for a real air compressor. My porter cable holds 6 gallons of compressed air,it takes 2 minutes to fill up to capacity.
I checked the rest of you tube for reviews on these, before I came here. If I would have started here first, it would have saved me alot of time! Your product tests are much more thorough then anyone else's on you tube, plus your reviews are unbiased since you accept no advertising. It's refreshing to know I won't be sent to amazon to buy a product, the reviewer says I should have! I am honored to be a subscriber. Thankyou for being here!
I own the dewalt one. I like it because I already use dewalt power tools so I’ve got batteries around. Seems to work really well with a big battery a small one seems to go dead fast.
I bought into the Dewalt system years ago too so that's what I have. Mine seems to add point one PSI which makes up for the air lost when you unscrew the valve adapter. Only fail on mine is a design one - the older tall 3 amp hour batteries are taller than the compartment they slide into so the inflator sits on the battery, not it's feet.
@@ProjectFarm I think you got a bad one - I have what looks like a rebranded one here in UK (cost 29.99 GBP) and it's great. Also, the 10 mins you have for inflation was actually to 48PSI so not a real comparison to the others. I think you just got unlucky with a dodgy pressure sensor. I'll give mine a go and see how it does.
@@BruceLortzHI Overpressure is straight up dangerous. There is no excuse for it not auto shutting off be that on time or pressure. Imagine a kid using that thing to blow up a bike tyre. Might aswell let them play with a stick of dynamite.
@@siraff4461 I've had that happen to me. I was standing next to someone when they tried to inflate a bike tire with an air compressor tank. Blew the tire and the bang deafened me for a couple seconds.
I remember it wasn't that long ago when you could find 12v tire inflators for less than $20. Now the cheapest ones are twice that much. I guess it's due to inflation.
I have been using the HF 12V air compressor shown here for several years now. Use it to re-pressurize after airing down for sand and off road. Have it in several vehicles and other than the poor quality air hose and the specific fittings, it has been a good pump.
Your videos are great! Your non-biased reviews have helped me build an excellent collection of tools and many times saved me money. Just because it's more expensive, doesn't mean that it is better... Sometimes it does. Please don't stop what you're doing. It helps more than you know. If I ever need to buy tools, I always stop by your channel first. Thanks for everything you do!
Please test waterproof spray can coatings (like Neverwet). You can test it on shoes and on jackets. Winter is comming and that would be very useful (to waterproof your shoes) :)
@@ProjectFarm On different types of surfaces too please! Canvas, nylon, leather, painted and unpainted steel, glass, polycarbonate (the last for motorcycle visors, safety glasses and sport goggles). And testing with clean, salty and dirty/muddy water.
I also have the Milwaukee. I've used it probably 60 times in the last year, works like a champ, just wish it wasn't so loud. Also doesn't have a 12v cord for backup, which did catch me out one time due to dead batteries and I had to use an old junk slime 12v pump instead.
Late to the party here, but I have one too and absolutely love it. Though I do agree with the other comment that it's a bit loud. I also got my wife one for christmas because the threaded chuck and digital pressure settting and push button use are a lot easier than running our larger air compressor.
I’ve had the Ryobi for about 2 yrs now and it’s running well for spot check fill ups on my car and my Motorcycles. And you can use the same battery on most all of their tools 👍
I have a harbor freight pump that hooks up to my battery.. I use when off-roading. I have 35" tires.. I air down to about 15psi, then when done inflate to 30psi.. its been good to me so far.. Thanks for all the great vids.
As always, thank you! Could you please consider testing “all in one “units? Those that are a portable battery jumper, tire inflator, and some even come with small 110 outlets? I’ve had a few, find them very handy, but I’ve had mixed experiences in their results. Might be an interesting test.
@@ProjectFarm You might help your cause if you did a brief 4-minute video on measuring the t-shirts and hoodies for your viewers. I like the one 'drill' design logo, but the full extent of the sizing just says 'tight fit,' and gives a width measurement that doesn't say where it is measuring width at.
One of the only channels I watch all of the ads in. With that said my wife bought me the Dewalt unit for fathers day and I've abused it regularly and keep it in my suv to inflate my 33in offroad tires. Honestly I'm rather pleased with it despite not being a big Dewalt fan (been a Makita guy for a while) but I'd have no issues keeping one of these in any of my other rides ..and well your tests show my wife made a good choice
Im from Brazil, and what i see here is a quality well design instructions to freely help people over internet. Congrats on your well done minimalistic video. Keep the good work !
I did buy the Ryobi and I ran it yesterday for the first time. I'm very impressed! I topped off two tires (smaller one had around 20 psi - I pumped to 35. Then the other tire had 26 psi - I pumped it to 35 - low profile tire. Both tires were filled in less than 5 minutes and the pump worked great! Your testing was perfect! Thanks again!
The Milwaukee M12 inflator has never let me down. In fact, it has been so good and reliable that I actually purchased a second one. Not too surprising seeing as every Milwaukee tool that I have gets the job done.
@@ProjectFarm Wow. So I'm commenting on a video from 2019 and you respond to my post in 11 minutes. Seriously ? Your amazing my friend. You are making me smarter with each video. Thank you for your insight and dedication
We use a Milwaukee inflator at work for our company vehicles. I was so impressed with it that I purchased one for home. It’s quick and accurate. I also bought two M12 batteries, charger, and carry all bag which will also house the inflator.
I’ve upgraded to the m18 variant and that thing is a beast on 70-90psi truck and trailer tires. It’d be cool to see some updates on battery powered tools now that they’ve changed so much over the last couple years
I think ryobi is the clear winner at this price point. Been very impressed with their HP one plus tool line and batteries lately. This is on my to buy list for sure.
Been using Ryobi since they first came out, blue tools, and I only had one tool fail but I abused the everlovingHELL out of it. The best thing is the range of tools you can get, they are well thought out, and if you get a couple of 9 Amp hour batteries they can out work _you!_
My friend - I was in the market for a new tire inflator and will buy the Pittsburgh unit from Harbor Freight. It is the first and only product I have ever bought from Harbor Freight. I watched your two videos and saw that you tore down the unit and it had largely metal as opposed to Nylon 66 type components. I have a lower pressure passenger car application and don't care if it takes a few more minutes to inflate the tire no problem. My issue with these lithium battery powered units is that batteries are not standardized and thus I have proliferation of batteries and chargers. In any case, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to test all of these units using a sound methodology and that you are independent and do not accept compensation from manufacturers or other 3rd parties. You are saving viewers a great deal of time and money. I don't buy anything without searching your videos to see if you have tested something first. Thank You! 🙂🙂
Ryobi has one more akin to the DeWalt and bauer designs. I'm curious how it would compare. I was disappointed in the Bauer. And impressed by the handheld Ryobi. Basically, they were the opposite of what I predicted.
The pump is one of only two M12 tools I own, the rest are M18. My Pump works great with a 4ah XC battery. I actually couldn't ask for more. I also have the Ryobi bigger pump. It's taken a beating through the years, and I just retired it because the Display is now all wonky and unreadable, but the pump still works, LOL
I just bought a pack of GE LEDs and they all blew out in my house. I know my area has some fluctuation in power but LEDs should account for that. Maybe do a comparison of LEDs and run them at lower voltages and higher voltages to see how they would stand over time.
@@Dansk55 E26/E27 standard socket LED bulbs should have control circuitry built in and shouldn't need any external ballast like a fluorescent tube or a driver like bare LED units need. I would be more concerned with the power coming out of the wall and would want to test the household voltage, current, and frequency, maybe even hook up a scope to see what the waveform looks like. It's possible there was a lightning strike-induced surge because that situation sounds very strange. In a lot of places you can get LED bulbs for ~$1 or less each, subsidized by the local electric utility. I use Philips Hue bulbs where I live, and the cheap LEDs in the basement/outside and have never had a widespread issue like that. Ironically enough, I had a bunch of the GU24 socket bulbs that were installed for free and almost all of those have gone bad over time, and the power company no longer gives those away because there was (clearly) a quality issue with them. Bought GU24 to E26/27 adapters which takes away the whole point of the GU24 socket but now have bulbs that actually work.
Leaving a comment hoping that it will help you with the TH-cam algorithm. You truly deserve so much more attention than you receive. I’ve been watching your content (almost religiously) for years now.
@@ProjectFarm no, thank you! Seriously! I just recently learned about the TH-cam algorithm thing otherwise I would have left you so many more comments. You do so much for your community it’s seriously underrated.. I recently (a few months ago) became a patreon and you deserve every cent plus some. There really isn’t a single channel on this platform like yours. Or any platform for that matter. You’re amazing. You provide facts with evidence while being completely unbiased. You seem to be a very kind soul. You almost always perform scientific experiments and it’s very entertaining. I truly wish you the best in life. I wish there were millions more like you. You set an awesome example for growing generations. My nephew looks up to you and it makes me proud. Thank you.
Back in the 1960s and 70s I had a device that pumped up tires by removing a spark plug from one cylinder, then running the engine to pump the tire up. It was a simple vinyl hose and one way valve with a tire stem adapter. It worked just great!
@@ProjectFarm idea for a show which jump with equipment wil power the corded air compressor I have the harbour freight jump kit and have ran the corded 12volt to pump up tires works when you have a trailer or if it is middle of nowhere to put air in tires and your battery is dead on your cordless one
You guys just saved me a whoooooooole lot of trouble. I bought the Hudson Pro tire inflator and tried to use it. The directions had me turning the power to the (II) position, high volume to pump up my tires. I'm not really a do it yourself ER, but I also refuse to pay for air at a gas station. I watched you use the Bauer brand on here which is built similar to the Hudson Pro and saw that the directions were wrong. I switched the power to (I) and it switched over to the tire inflator. Love you all's channel and I have learned a lot. I have also bought some of your recommendations. So, thank you guys for testing this stuff out so we laymen can make an informed decision. 👍
So comprehensive! I ended up getting DeWalt thanks to your review and I am super satisfied with the results. The pressure gauge is very accurate, but it does intentionally add extra air to cater for loss during handling of the pressure pipe. Its not a big deal, I just use a deflater with digital guage to let out the extra air. Its only about 0.5 extra, not a big deal.
The DeWalt IS a solid choice, However...in comparing the Battery powered units: In the 35psi test the results were Milwaukee 1, Ryobi 2, and DeWalt 3. In the 80psi/20min test the results were DeWalt 1, Ryobi 2, and Milwaukee 3. That basically gives them all an average of a tie for 2nd place...with the Ryobi costing slightly more than Half the price of the DeWalt!!! I am a bit partial to Ryobi since I already have 3 of their batteries (including the new High Performance PB004), but then I do have tools from DeWalt and Milwaukee too. I guess all three inflators would make for a pretty decent choice! Best of lucc to you!
I bought a Hausbell portable air compressor tire inflator from Amazon early this year. It does 0.5 PSI above the setting you set it at to account for air loss when you take off the air hose. I was concerned as it was cheap at the time. Like $25. It has worked well so far
Ryobi did very well also, not to mention they have a new digital version of the same pump and it's currently only $20 at HD. Also They have another unit for $50 with the same inflators that is much more comparable to the Dewalt and Milwaukee models. I have both and they are great!
Nice job in empirical testing to compare these air pumps. I especially liked your testing of time to inflate, pressure accuracy, sound level in decibels, and heat. This is what independent and factual testing is all about. Well Done!
Absolutely LOVE this channel!!! It isn't just the time, effort and broad spectrum testing on multiple products. It's the out of pocket $ to keep the tests independent. Especially now with the economic meltdown and number of people impacted by mandates. For diesel owners/truckers the anti-gel/lubricity showdown was SPOT ON! 911 is wasted $. Thank You Todd!!! Very much appreciated.
I'm going to update a review I left on Hot Shot Diesel Secret. The HSDS EXTREME is even better. Not connected to them in any way at all. Canadian trucker who transitioned into a niche branch of transportation and using 911 as fuel additive in winter to keep the company happy doing "due diligence" in N Dakota, MN etc almost killed 2 guys I work with and one of mine froze up south of Grand Junction,ND couple years back because I didn't have this stuff at the time. We fly a lot. Can't transport this stuff like a trucker living in a rig. Not even sure you'll get this stuff ordering online now shipped with everything going on now. The ONLY truck stop I know of that sells this specific formulation is the Flying J in W Bismarck,ND 5 miles up the road from the manufacturer. They really NAILED this product!!! I went with Standadyne Performance for my Jetta TDI and it aint bad as your tests demonstrated for lubricity/anti gelling properties. But it comes in second for a reason. Made in America is getting harder to find at a very real cost to everyone now. The personal $ you spend testing products truly independently is very much appreciated but I honestly think Hot Shot should contact you with some sort of remuneration/sponsorship. The emissions systems added to diesels now along with COSTLY bound to fail parts and repairs make personal diesels stupid at this point. But commercial vehicles aren't EV anytime soon. You help a LOT of people with your channel! If this gets you a sideline income as a distributor for a genuinely GOOD product it's a win/win for both parties duly owed in my opinion. If America goes down we are all fucked!!! The sooner we start co-operating the better. Canada right now is Weimer Germany in '38. Many are trying to fight it now but it's an uphill battle. Todd. You are a Super Cool Cat!!! Thank You. 👍👍🇨🇦
I have the ryobi dual inflator. I think it was around $50. It's great too. I leave it in the back of my vehicle in case tpms goes off. Saves me the time on running to get free air at the local wawa or quick Chek.
I really wish I didn't have DeWalt everything else. I just want a cheap attachment to add to my screwgun....or a cheap DeWalt that will use my batteries.
Thank you very much for making these videos Sir, I am a video editor myself so I know the amount of work that it must take for you to put this and your previous video together. Well done, excellent video editing especially with the thermal camera footage and all. THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU once more. I have found this video so helpful.
After doing my own research and watching this video, I have decided to purchase the Dewalt air compressor. I need a compressor that is durable, reliable and one that inflates tires at a reasonable pace. I already have lots of Dewalt tools and Dewalt batteries so this one makes perfect sense. It's a bit expensive but hey, you sometimes get what you pay for. Thank you sir for all your hard work! Like I've said in a lot of my comments, I look to you before I purchase!
I watched 1 video of PF and instantly subscribed when the man said I’m not influenced by the brands. Biased recommendations are hard to find now a days.
I have the DeWalt unit and very impressed. The main reason I like it, is the plastic casing prevents me from getting burned. I was using one from O'reilly's which is just like your Harbor Freight unit. Additionally, the layout of the DeWalt unit is well thought out. It can run from 120v, Car 12v or the DeWalt battery. It just feels durable and quality... something hard to find these days. Very impressed. I can also air up all tires faster, because I don't have to reroute the power cord going from tire to tire.
My craftsman 12v portable just game up on me after 8yrs of ownership. Changed 2 fuses and after the second one I told myself I’m done. Was about to get some expensive inflator, but after seeing your video, harborfreights it is lol. Thank you so much, great video btw.
It's nice that the Bauer and the DeWalt both offer high volume inflators as well. Even some of the better high pressure inflators are not well suited for inflating high volume items like pool floaties. Personally, I use my 12V Viair 300P for high pressure, and my cordless 20V DeWalt DCE100 for high volume inflation. I've thought about replacing the Viair with a cordless device, but it just works so well, and 12V power is never far away from my tires. I'm quite confident the Viair 300P would do a much better job getting that truck tire to 80psi.
Was lost shopping for a new compressor - Then I thought Project Farm - Sure enough got all the info I needed to make a decision. Your site is a great help !!!
lol. I'm in decent shape and was sweating quite a bit after the car tire. I'd estimate at least 3,000 compressions with the foot pump in 20 minutes. lol
Nice review! Just thought I'd add that there are two different Ryobi pumps you could've tested, and you chose the less expensive one (not that there's anything wrong with that). The more expensive one is only $40 (I own one) and is set up almost identically to the Bauer. This leads me to believe that the Bauer may be a copy of the Ryobi design, with a slightly different outer molding. The Bauer also incorporates a flashlight, which the Ryobi version does not have. I've used my Ryobi pump extensively and it works well. If you already have an 18V Ryobi tool system, this is a great add-on that will save you money on batteries and chargers you don't have to buy! One change I would love to see is the addition of a 12V input, in case your battery dies. I have plenty of 18V Ryobi batteries so it's never been an issue, but I like the fact that several of the pumps you tested give you that option, "just in case," hehe! I also have one of the 12V Harbor Freight pumps like the one you tested prior, and it also works very well! ;-)
i just got the ryobi pump he tested, but it now has a digital display. pumps my bike tires up at 3psi/sec with the big battery from the ryobi sawzall. i think this will be my new goto. Can't beat it for $20 on sale right now.
Not only that but getting excited about it. I was watching back and forth between them to see which one truly was faster not only from flat but how they held up against higher pressures.
I have owned the Milwaukee inflator for almost one year and find it capable of "topping off" higher pressure tires. The rears on my truck run 80 psi and I can run them up from 65 psi without issue when I rotate front to back. I have not had the opportunity to start from zero so it's good to know it will take two batteries. Thanks for another great video.
Awesome video! As I've commented before, I provide roadside assistance for a living! I've used a cheap RadioShack 12v pump and both the 12v Ryobi pumps. They sell a $50 one that has the high volume pump along with a digital set it and forget it backlit gauge. I believe it pumps the same speed as the $20 one. They used to last me about six months using them at least once a day on average. I never let the units rest however and they would sometimes get wet in the rain. I recommend them for average consumers but not for commercial use. I really like my Smittybilt 2781. It's rated for up to 45 amps of current draw and therefore must be directly connected to a 12v battery. It has an inflation rating of 5.65 cubic feet per minute. For the money, the speed is well worth it. I am saving myself hours per year inflating tires for both customers and our personal vehicles. Highly recommend it!
Matthew Stevenson cool! Can I ask a question? What is it like working as roadside assistance? I got a job today as a Diesel mechanic. I’m a in-shop rn! But I’m curious; our on-road trucks have a Honda NX compressor. So we don’t really carry smaller ones; or have a need to. Tho I do carry a 12v Ryobi in my Miata xD
Matthew Stevenson I love driving!and I really enjoyed and miss my motorcycle I traded for my 04 Miata. But it didn’t carry enough stuff for my school, and soon to be college classes.
I came away from this liking the bang for the buck that the little AIR HAWK PRO provides. I also like the 12V Pittsburg from Harbor Freight. I'm gonna have to decide whether I want to go cordless or not. Another GREAT presentation. Your work is top notch.
I’ve had the Milwaukee M12 inflator for about a year. For its size and weight, it performs great. I don’t use it for my motorhome tires, but for the fat tire bikes, golf cart, cars, and my Jeep tires, it’s ideal. Glad to see your testing showed I picked the right one for my application!
@@BobCollins42 RV tires have a huge volume. It would take a significant amount of time to top them up. While it would likely get the job done, I have a higher volume 12V compressor I bought for the RV. Not as convenient or compact as the Milwaukee, but filling up large tires to 92 PSI, justifies a bigger compressor.
@@2manytoyz123 I happen to have the same Harbor Freight cigarette lighter tire inflator the OP rated and compared to. My new van's rear tires are 80 psi. I deflated one about 5 psi and reinflated it and it took 1-2 minutes.
Just a quick update. The Ryobi now has a digital gauge and I've found it to be spot-on accurate with my tire gauge. It's still a unit that requires the trigger to be held on manually.
I know this is an old video but I'm still very glad it's here! You just helped me save my dad some money. He sent me a link for the Avid Power unit he was interested in getting. I watched this and I was able to explain the shortcomings of that unit. He was glad to hear it because he would not have been happy with it! Because there is so much garbage out there in the market, I can't thank you enough for your tireless efforts to help your fellow man!! God Bless You!!
I bought the DeWalt a few months ago, but it only cost about $120. I didn't want to spend that much, recently moved from an area with a convenience store chain with free air . I have two tires with slow leaks, I got tired of spending $2 for air, and the pump didn't even work half the time. So after reading about the problems with the cheaper units available, I get the DeWalt. No regrets at all! Fairly quick, accurate, easy to use, no cool down time necessary, runs on battery or 12v plug in lighter. I also find out I saved $80!
At 2:30 the Avid Power's manual warns that the pressure display is not calibrated and to use a reliable measuring device to check. No wonder at 2:56 it's 18 PSI.
whats the point of even having a pressure gauge (especially if it's supposed to auto-shutoff) if its going to be THAT far off? i can understand ~5psi deviation, but this inflator is so far off i'm wondering if you had a defective one.
@@Koichifirst I don't know what the 4th mode could be, but that number is nowhere near the measurement in kPa, bars, or psi Edit, so I found the last mode would be kg/cubic centimeter and yeah it's not that one either. And if you look carefully when he shows the display of the gauge, you can just barely makeout that the gauge says it is in psi mode
Thank you for your clear, concise, and accurate testing. Dragnet would be proud of you: Just the facts, man. I would like to see a comparison of air compressors like the Master Flow 1050 or 1089, Smittybilt 2781, Viair 300P or 400P, and others in that range, please. They're more capable than the smaller ones you've tested here, but not the very expensive units that 4-wheelers use for OBA (on-board air) systems, such as when they have air lockers or humongous tires. My buddy and I run 31" tires on our rigs (Explorer and Xterra), and that's the size just before you start getting crazy-big.
I think a better test for the high pressure tire would have been to run the pumps as they actually tell you to in the manuals, i.e. limiting the continuous duty time to what was specified and including the cool-down time, and see how long it would take to actually get to the 80 psi. Though this would have made for a much longer test, so I understand why you might not want to do it that way.
Thanks for requesting this one and please let me know which brands you'd like tested next. Thanks again, Todd

1. Time to pump a tire 0 to 35 psi.
2. Time to pump a tire 0 to 80 psi.
3. Accuracy of the gauge when the pump is not pumping. (The difference between the gauge and a calibrated gage)
4. Consistency of the gauge (showing almost the same result when tried a few times even if it is off by some PSI) (metric: Standard deviation)
5. Accuracy of the auto-shutoff at correct PSI.
6. Running time before turns off because of getting hot.
7. Build quality if possible.
Thanks!
Forgot to add:
For time measurements could you please try both 12v and 120v input?

I cannot tell tell how over the years your channel has greatly improved my own workshop.
It’s like having a mentor.
Thank you!
Not all heroes wear capes. I too echo how much I rely on your unbiased reviews. Please don't ever sell out to the sponsors I'm sure are knocking your door down. Thank you for what you do.
Also want to agree with that statement!
Yes absolutely we recently bought a house and have painting to do and thanks it his video we know what tape and paint works best. Love the channel keep up the great work.
And we NEED so much a TH-cam channel just like this one here in Europe!
Most of those american brands DO NOT sell those consumer products in here.
I mean we have power tools and professional tools from DeWalt, Millwakee, etc, but not those small products for home or farm use.
Even so, this channel is one of the best channels ever!
I'll never stop being amazed by the incredible amount of time and money you put into making your extremely thorough testing videos. A++ 👍 Thank you!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!!
Ditto!
Totally agree
Totally agree with ElectronicsNmore

This is without question one of the best channels on TH-cam. Honest, unbiased, accurate and in-depth testing. You not only learn what tools are worth buying but get some really good knowledge on how equipment can (and should) be tested. Well done sir.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm My car battery went dead and didn't use it for a long time, so now tires need air. So I bought this model {$27.19} due to the reviews { AstroAI Air Compressor Tire Inflator Portable Air Pump for Car Tires 12V DC Auto Tire Pump with Digital Pressure Gauge, 100PSI} to inflate my tires , it's being delivered tomorrow. Thing is it only runs on car cigarette lighter and I didn't realize this when I bought it ,so it's no use to me, because my car battery is dead, UGH.
PS: Can you just do reviews on models for cigarette models only, those that need to be charged ,and those that only work on foot pedal. Each type needs its own category . Thanks.

Great comparison. It's awesome that the battery powered compressors were compared with the winner of the 12V. I'm getting ready to buy a portable compressor and I'm going with the Ryobi - low cost and great performance. Thanks for doing the video!
You are welcome!
I have it and it rocks. only thing is that having to hold down the trigger is annoying
@@coppulor6500Get some Trex tape or some trucker tie cord to hold that trigger haha
It was great that you included the HF vehicle powered pump. That changes my mind. I was set on getting a quality cordless unit because of their portability and i thought they were alot faster. Turns out, they are not. Im going to check out one of the viair type pumps.
Did you get get it. Is it still working or shot?
4 down votes from people who bought the Air Hawk Pro. Excellent job as always.

Thanks and you are welcome!
I own the dewalt one. I like it because I already use dewalt power tools so I’ve got batteries around. Seems to work really well with a big battery a small one seems to go dead fast.
Great point! The DeWalt is a very impressive pump! Didn't seem to slow down at higher PSI or become hot.
Project Farm just finished the video, I am happy with that because it lives in my truck that takes 70psi in the tires.
I bought into the Dewalt system years ago too so that's what I have. Mine seems to add point one PSI which makes up for the air lost when you unscrew the valve adapter. Only fail on mine is a design one - the older tall 3 amp hour batteries are taller than the compartment they slide into so the inflator sits on the battery, not it's feet.
I'm still using all of my 18v Dewalt tools. One of these days they'll start dying off and I'll upgrade. They'll probably have 30v by then!
@@Babarudra They have 54v tools now. But you can still use the batteries in any 18v tool.
The Avid power name is misspelled. It's missing a o between v and I.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm I think you got a bad one - I have what looks like a rebranded one here in UK (cost 29.99 GBP) and it's great. Also, the 10 mins you have for inflation was actually to 48PSI so not a real comparison to the others. I think you just got unlucky with a dodgy pressure sensor. I'll give mine a go and see how it does.
@@BruceLortzHI Overpressure is straight up dangerous. There is no excuse for it not auto shutting off be that on time or pressure. Imagine a kid using that thing to blow up a bike tyre. Might aswell let them play with a stick of dynamite.
@@siraff4461 I've had that happen to me. I was standing next to someone when they tried to inflate a bike tire with an air compressor tank. Blew the tire and the bang deafened me for a couple seconds.
@@Anomaly188 Not this kind of compressor. Glad you added tank.
I remember it wasn't that long ago when you could find 12v tire inflators for less than $20. Now the cheapest ones are twice that much. I guess it's due to inflation.
I see what you did there.
Wow...smh
Haha
😂
😁😁👍👍
I have been using the HF 12V air compressor shown here for several years now. Use it to re-pressurize after airing down for sand and off road. Have it in several vehicles and other than the poor quality air hose and the specific fittings, it has been a good pump.
Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are great! Your non-biased reviews have helped me build an excellent collection of tools and many times saved me money. Just because it's more expensive, doesn't mean that it is better... Sometimes it does. Please don't stop what you're doing. It helps more than you know. If I ever need to buy tools, I always stop by your channel first. Thanks for everything you do!

I've had my Milwaukee one for a few months now, damn that thing is super handy
Great pump!
I also have the Milwaukee. I've used it probably 60 times in the last year, works like a champ, just wish it wasn't so loud. Also doesn't have a 12v cord for backup, which did catch me out one time due to dead batteries and I had to use an old junk slime 12v pump instead.
I wish they would make an m18 version
Late to the party here, but I have one too and absolutely love it. Though I do agree with the other comment that it's a bit loud. I also got my wife one for christmas because the threaded chuck and digital pressure settting and push button use are a lot easier than running our larger air compressor.
DamionJR4923 They will ! I’ve got 12 millwakii 18 v tools I’m waiting too!
I’ve had the Ryobi for about 2 yrs now and it’s running well for spot check fill ups on my car and my Motorcycles. And you can use the same battery on most all of their tools 👍
Nice! Thank you
I’ve had the same Ryobi impact gun for years now. Can attest to their stuff being good quality.
I have a harbor freight pump that hooks up to my battery.. I use when off-roading. I have 35" tires.. I air down to about 15psi, then when done inflate to 30psi.. its been good to me so far.. Thanks for all the great vids.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
As always, thank you! Could you please consider testing “all in one “units? Those that are a portable battery jumper, tire inflator, and some even come with small 110 outlets? I’ve had a few, find them very handy, but I’ve had mixed experiences in their results. Might be an interesting test.
Guys, Project Farm has helped us a lot. Please buy the merch or at least, watch the ads.
Thank you very much!!
@@ProjectFarm You might help your cause if you did a brief 4-minute video on measuring the t-shirts and hoodies for your viewers. I like the one 'drill' design logo, but the full extent of the sizing just says 'tight fit,' and gives a width measurement that doesn't say where it is measuring width at.
@@workingguy-OU812 That would be a great April 1st video!
I bought 3 12V Husky inflators, one for each vehicle, based on his 12V test of 9 inflators on Sep 9, 2019.
Watching the ads helps him? I always skipped them!
One of the only channels I watch all of the ads in. With that said my wife bought me the Dewalt unit for fathers day and I've abused it regularly and keep it in my suv to inflate my 33in offroad tires. Honestly I'm rather pleased with it despite not being a big Dewalt fan (been a Makita guy for a while) but I'd have no issues keeping one of these in any of my other rides ..and well your tests show my wife made a good choice
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Before buying new tools first thing what i do is watching your videos. Thank you for the great job.
Now I would like to see these pumps tested on there 12 volt cords.
Thank you
I second this!
Me as well
try them with 240 volt see if they inflate faster....
They work fine. Maybe not 80 psi but enough to limp you to a gas station.
I would love to see a test on smoke/CO alarms to see which ones work reliably.
Thank you for the video idea!
@@ProjectFarm yes, that would make for a good video. In my experience, there seems to be a great difference between different units.
Yes please do it !!
Im from Brazil, and what i see here is a quality well design instructions to freely help people over internet.
Congrats on your well done minimalistic video. Keep the good work !
Awesome, thank you!
I did buy the Ryobi and I ran it yesterday for the first time. I'm very impressed! I topped off two tires (smaller one had around 20 psi - I pumped to 35. Then the other tire had 26 psi - I pumped it to 35 - low profile tire. Both tires were filled in less than 5 minutes and the pump worked great!
Your testing was perfect! Thanks again!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
I got the Ryobi pump as a gift. I've been pretty happy with it.
Great pump! Thank you
I can't believe they don't provide a trigger lock, tho. That is a definite drawback to me.

Ryobi has another inflator similar to the DeWalt. I was hoping you would have tested that one. I have it and love it.
came here to say this, it's great and i think like half the price of this one
The Milwaukee M12 inflator has never let me down. In fact, it has been so good and reliable that I actually purchased a second one. Not too surprising seeing as every Milwaukee tool that I have gets the job done.
Thanks for sharing.
@@ProjectFarm Wow. So I'm commenting on a video from 2019 and you respond to my post in 11 minutes. Seriously ? Your amazing my friend. You are making me smarter with each video. Thank you for your insight and dedication
I have Milwaukee M12 for over a year as well. It works like a charm! Milwaukee usually is on or near the top in most of there tools.
We use a Milwaukee inflator at work for our company vehicles. I was so impressed with it that I purchased one for home. It’s quick and accurate. I also bought two M12 batteries, charger, and carry all bag which will also house the inflator.
I’ve upgraded to the m18 variant and that thing is a beast on 70-90psi truck and trailer tires. It’d be cool to see some updates on battery powered tools now that they’ve changed so much over the last couple years
I think ryobi is the clear winner at this price point. Been very impressed with their HP one plus tool line and batteries lately. This is on my to buy list for sure.
Been using Ryobi since they first came out, blue tools, and I only had one tool fail but I abused the everlovingHELL out of it.
The best thing is the range of tools you can get, they are well thought out, and if you get a couple of 9 Amp hour batteries they can out work _you!_
7:05 "GUARANTEED TOUGH"
it's still my fav part where you enthusiastically read these completely unverifiable advertisement claims :D
lol
"We're going to test that"
(You know you just read that in his voice)
My friend - I was in the market for a new tire inflator and will buy the Pittsburgh unit from Harbor Freight. It is the first and only product I have ever bought from Harbor Freight. I watched your two videos and saw that you tore down the unit and it had largely metal as opposed to Nylon 66 type components. I have a lower pressure passenger car application and don't care if it takes a few more minutes to inflate the tire no problem. My issue with these lithium battery powered units is that batteries are not standardized and thus I have proliferation of batteries and chargers. In any case, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to test all of these units using a sound methodology and that you are independent and do not accept compensation from manufacturers or other 3rd parties. You are saving viewers a great deal of time and money. I don't buy anything without searching your videos to see if you have tested something first. Thank You! 🙂🙂
Thanks for sharing.
The sound of the dewalt alone would make me choose it, just sounds like a quality pump.
Agree. Smooth
I'm going to get on soon
Yes clearly Dewalt is the best pump. Speed shouldn't be the first parameter unless you plan to drag race them.
It's not made by Dewalt. Its rebraded chinseium
@@alabastardmasterson isn't everything these days?
If milwaukee came out with a m18 pump it would compete with the dewalt but for the m12 version it did great
Great point!
Ryobi has one more akin to the DeWalt and bauer designs. I'm curious how it would compare. I was disappointed in the Bauer. And impressed by the handheld Ryobi. Basically, they were the opposite of what I predicted.
The pump is one of only two M12 tools I own, the rest are M18. My Pump works great with a 4ah XC battery. I actually couldn't ask for more. I also have the Ryobi bigger pump. It's taken a beating through the years, and I just retired it because the Display is now all wonky and unreadable, but the pump still works, LOL
I just bought a pack of GE LEDs and they all blew out in my house. I know my area has some fluctuation in power but LEDs should account for that. Maybe do a comparison of LEDs and run them at lower voltages and higher voltages to see how they would stand over time.
This is why you ought to use a constant current driver when powering LEDs
@@Dansk55 E26/E27 standard socket LED bulbs should have control circuitry built in and shouldn't need any external ballast like a fluorescent tube or a driver like bare LED units need. I would be more concerned with the power coming out of the wall and would want to test the household voltage, current, and frequency, maybe even hook up a scope to see what the waveform looks like. It's possible there was a lightning strike-induced surge because that situation sounds very strange. In a lot of places you can get LED bulbs for ~$1 or less each, subsidized by the local electric utility. I use Philips Hue bulbs where I live, and the cheap LEDs in the basement/outside and have never had a widespread issue like that. Ironically enough, I had a bunch of the GU24 socket bulbs that were installed for free and almost all of those have gone bad over time, and the power company no longer gives those away because there was (clearly) a quality issue with them. Bought GU24 to E26/27 adapters which takes away the whole point of the GU24 socket but now have bulbs that actually work.

Back in the 1960s and 70s I had a device that pumped up tires by removing a spark plug from one cylinder, then running the engine to pump the tire up. It was a simple vinyl hose and one way valve with a tire stem adapter. It worked just great!

You guys just saved me a whoooooooole lot of trouble. I bought the Hudson Pro tire inflator and tried to use it. The directions had me turning the power to the (II) position, high volume to pump up my tires. I'm not really a do it yourself ER, but I also refuse to pay for air at a gas station. I watched you use the Bauer brand on here which is built similar to the Hudson Pro and saw that the directions were wrong. I switched the power to (I) and it switched over to the tire inflator. Love you all's channel and I have learned a lot. I have also bought some of your recommendations. So, thank you guys for testing this stuff out so we laymen can make an informed decision. 👍
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
It’s weird how entertaining these videos are but they have me hooked ! Thanks for the great information and great work you put in to making these !
Awesome! Thank you!
I hear you on that. Very entertaining. Little by little these videos will make you smarter too !
So comprehensive! I ended up getting DeWalt thanks to your review and I am super satisfied with the results. The pressure gauge is very accurate, but it does intentionally add extra air to cater for loss during handling of the pressure pipe. Its not a big deal, I just use a deflater with digital guage to let out the extra air. Its only about 0.5 extra, not a big deal.
Thanks! Great to hear!
The DeWalt IS a solid choice, However...in comparing the Battery powered units: In the 35psi test the results were Milwaukee 1, Ryobi 2, and DeWalt 3. In the 80psi/20min test the results were DeWalt 1, Ryobi 2, and Milwaukee 3. That basically gives them all an average of a tie for 2nd place...with the Ryobi costing slightly more than Half the price of the DeWalt!!!
I am a bit partial to Ryobi since I already have 3 of their batteries (including the new High Performance PB004), but then I do have tools from DeWalt and Milwaukee too. I guess all three inflators would make for a pretty decent choice! Best of lucc to you!
I bought a Hausbell portable air compressor tire inflator from Amazon early this year. It does 0.5 PSI above the setting you set it at to account for air loss when you take off the air hose. I was concerned as it was cheap at the time. Like $25. It has worked well so far
Just bought the M12 pump and i'm impressed by how handy it is..feels well built also
Thanks for sharing! Great to hear!

Ryobi did very well also, not to mention they have a new digital version of the same pump and it's currently only $20 at HD. Also They have another unit for $50 with the same inflators that is much more comparable to the Dewalt and Milwaukee models. I have both and they are great!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice job in empirical testing to compare these air pumps. I especially liked your testing of time to inflate, pressure accuracy, sound level in decibels, and heat. This is what independent and factual testing is all about. Well Done!
Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE this channel!!! It isn't just the time, effort and broad spectrum testing on multiple products. It's the out of pocket $ to keep the tests independent. Especially now with the economic meltdown and number of people impacted by mandates.
For diesel owners/truckers the anti-gel/lubricity showdown was SPOT ON! 911 is wasted $.
Thank You Todd!!! Very much appreciated.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'm going to update a review I left on Hot Shot Diesel Secret. The HSDS EXTREME is even better.
Not connected to them in any way at all. Canadian trucker who transitioned into a niche branch of transportation and using 911 as fuel additive in winter to keep the company happy doing "due diligence" in N Dakota, MN etc almost killed 2 guys I work with and one of mine froze up south of Grand Junction,ND couple years back because I didn't have this stuff at the time. We fly a lot. Can't transport this stuff like a trucker living in a rig.
Not even sure you'll get this stuff ordering online now shipped with everything going on now. The ONLY truck stop I know of that sells this specific formulation is the Flying J in W Bismarck,ND 5 miles up the road from the manufacturer. They really NAILED this product!!! I went with Standadyne Performance for my Jetta TDI and it aint bad as your tests demonstrated for lubricity/anti gelling properties. But it comes in second for a reason.
Made in America is getting harder to find at a very real cost to everyone now. The personal $ you spend testing products truly independently is very much appreciated but I honestly think Hot Shot should contact you with some sort of remuneration/sponsorship.
The emissions systems added to diesels now along with COSTLY bound to fail parts and repairs make personal diesels stupid at this point. But commercial vehicles aren't EV anytime soon.
You help a LOT of people with your channel! If this gets you a sideline income as a distributor for a genuinely GOOD product it's a win/win for both parties duly owed in my opinion.
If America goes down we are all fucked!!! The sooner we start co-operating the better. Canada right now is Weimer Germany in '38. Many are trying to fight it now but it's an uphill battle.
Todd. You are a Super Cool Cat!!! Thank You. 👍👍🇨🇦
I bought the Ryobi. Since this video they updated to a digital guage. I already had batteries and chargers, so it only cost $25. It's fantastic.
Works great...
I have the ryobi dual inflator. I think it was around $50. It's great too. I leave it in the back of my vehicle in case tpms goes off. Saves me the time on running to get free air at the local wawa or quick Chek.
I really wish I didn't have DeWalt everything else. I just want a cheap attachment to add to my screwgun....or a cheap DeWalt that will use my batteries.
@@humancomputerinteraction8237 You can buy a Dewalt to Ryobi battery adapter.

After doing my own research and watching this video, I have decided to purchase the Dewalt air compressor. I need a compressor that is durable, reliable and one that inflates tires at a reasonable pace. I already have lots of Dewalt tools and Dewalt batteries so this one makes perfect sense. It's a bit expensive but hey, you sometimes get what you pay for. Thank you sir for all your hard work! Like I've said in a lot of my comments, I look to you before I purchase!

I watched 1 video of PF and instantly subscribed when the man said I’m not influenced by the brands. Biased recommendations are hard to find now a days.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I have the DeWalt unit and very impressed. The main reason I like it, is the plastic casing prevents me from getting burned. I was using one from O'reilly's which is just like your Harbor Freight unit. Additionally, the layout of the DeWalt unit is well thought out. It can run from 120v, Car 12v or the DeWalt battery. It just feels durable and quality... something hard to find these days. Very impressed. I can also air up all tires faster, because I don't have to reroute the power cord going from tire to tire.
Thanks for sharing.
Agree. I have it too and love it!
My craftsman 12v portable just game up on me after 8yrs of ownership. Changed 2 fuses and after the second one I told myself I’m done. Was about to get some expensive inflator, but after seeing your video, harborfreights it is lol. Thank you so much, great video btw.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I love this channel. Best test of products so far!
Thank you!
EVER!!!!
It's nice that the Bauer and the DeWalt both offer high volume inflators as well. Even some of the better high pressure inflators are not well suited for inflating high volume items like pool floaties. Personally, I use my 12V Viair 300P for high pressure, and my cordless 20V DeWalt DCE100 for high volume inflation. I've thought about replacing the Viair with a cordless device, but it just works so well, and 12V power is never far away from my tires. I'm quite confident the Viair 300P would do a much better job getting that truck tire to 80psi.
Thanks for the feedback.
Dearest Farm Boy - I really like when you add a fun test to your videos. Your experiments are equally instructional and entertaining. I had a blast.
Thank you very much!
as...you...wish
Was lost shopping for a new compressor - Then I thought Project Farm - Sure enough got all the info I needed to make a decision. Your site is a great help !!!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!
No foot pump on the truck tire? Lol 🤣
lol. I'm in decent shape and was sweating quite a bit after the car tire. I'd estimate at least 3,000 compressions with the foot pump in 20 minutes. lol
@@ProjectFarm it'd probably kill me lmfao
Psssh who needs CrossFit when you have ProjectFarmFit!
Screw the truck tire, I wanted to see him inflate one of those balloons with the foot pump. lol.
It's probably not possible to inflate an 80psi truck tire with it. These large volume foot pumps run out of steam around 50psi with bicycle tires.
You my friend are much appreciated. Thank you.
I like my Milwaukee inflator and would recommend them to prospective buyers.
Thank you

The way you check things it’s so down to earth..

Nice review! Just thought I'd add that there are two different Ryobi pumps you could've tested, and you chose the less expensive one (not that there's anything wrong with that). The more expensive one is only $40 (I own one) and is set up almost identically to the Bauer. This leads me to believe that the Bauer may be a copy of the Ryobi design, with a slightly different outer molding. The Bauer also incorporates a flashlight, which the Ryobi version does not have.
I've used my Ryobi pump extensively and it works well. If you already have an 18V Ryobi tool system, this is a great add-on that will save you money on batteries and chargers you don't have to buy! One change I would love to see is the addition of a 12V input, in case your battery dies. I have plenty of 18V Ryobi batteries so it's never been an issue, but I like the fact that several of the pumps you tested give you that option, "just in case," hehe! I also have one of the 12V Harbor Freight pumps like the one you tested prior, and it also works very well! ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
i just got the ryobi pump he tested, but it now has a digital display. pumps my bike tires up at 3psi/sec with the big battery from the ryobi sawzall. i think this will be my new goto. Can't beat it for $20 on sale right now.
@@LordxJoe ditto, the Ryobi hand held with the digital display is a winner
I can’t believe I’m sitting here watching someone inflate car tires.
Muhammad Malik its cool
Huh :) lol
Thank you
Not only that but getting excited about it. I was watching back and forth between them to see which one truly was faster not only from flat but how they held up against higher pressures.
It's appealing to the testosterone in you.
I watched the whole video, he makes good vids
You never know when you need one so this is good for someone looking for the best one to buy.
Thanks!
I have owned the Milwaukee inflator for almost one year and find it capable of "topping off" higher pressure tires. The rears on my truck run 80 psi and I can run them up from 65 psi without issue when I rotate front to back. I have not had the opportunity to start from zero so it's good to know it will take two batteries. Thanks for another great video.
You are welcome!
14:15 “without any pressure from manufacturers”
😂 well done 👍
Thank you
Awesome video! As I've commented before, I provide roadside assistance for a living! I've used a cheap RadioShack 12v pump and both the 12v Ryobi pumps. They sell a $50 one that has the high volume pump along with a digital set it and forget it backlit gauge. I believe it pumps the same speed as the $20 one. They used to last me about six months using them at least once a day on average. I never let the units rest however and they would sometimes get wet in the rain. I recommend them for average consumers but not for commercial use. I really like my Smittybilt 2781. It's rated for up to 45 amps of current draw and therefore must be directly connected to a 12v battery. It has an inflation rating of 5.65 cubic feet per minute. For the money, the speed is well worth it. I am saving myself hours per year inflating tires for both customers and our personal vehicles. Highly recommend it!
Great feedback! Thank you
Matthew Stevenson cool! Can I ask a question? What is it like working as roadside assistance? I got a job today as a Diesel mechanic. I’m a in-shop rn! But I’m curious; our on-road trucks have a Honda NX compressor. So we don’t really carry smaller ones; or have a need to. Tho I do carry a 12v Ryobi in my Miata xD
@@blecgaming9069 It's a great job if you don't like having a boss. Good tips and lots to learn. Lots of driving too!
Matthew Stevenson I love driving!and I really enjoyed and miss my motorcycle I traded for my 04 Miata. But it didn’t carry enough stuff for my school, and soon to be college classes.
I came away from this liking the bang for the buck that the little AIR HAWK PRO provides. I also like the 12V Pittsburg from Harbor Freight. I'm gonna have to decide whether I want to go cordless or not. Another GREAT presentation. Your work is top notch.
!
I’ve had the Milwaukee M12 inflator for about a year. For its size and weight, it performs great. I don’t use it for my motorhome tires, but for the fat tire bikes, golf cart, cars, and my Jeep tires, it’s ideal. Glad to see your testing showed I picked the right one for my application!
lol Thnka for watching!
Why do you not use the m12 pump for your RV tires?
@@BobCollins42 RV tires have a huge volume. It would take a significant amount of time to top them up. While it would likely get the job done, I have a higher volume 12V compressor I bought for the RV. Not as convenient or compact as the Milwaukee, but filling up large tires to 92 PSI, justifies a bigger compressor.
@@2manytoyz123 I happen to have the same Harbor Freight cigarette lighter tire inflator the OP rated and compared to. My new van's rear tires are 80 psi. I deflated one about 5 psi and reinflated it and it took 1-2 minutes.

Just a quick update. The Ryobi now has a digital gauge and I've found it to be spot-on accurate with my tire gauge. It's still a unit that requires the trigger to be held on manually.
Thanks for the feedback.
The Milwaukee is awesome had it almost a year and use it often. Only downside is battery capacity
Thank you for the feedback!
Should have been an m18 pump. Maybe sized it between the DeWalt one and Milwaukee.

I think the ballon test was my favorite part? Dewalt seems like a very good pump and all around battery jumper. Thanks Project Farms for Another Win!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I'm just gonna say it... That little Ryobi is kinda a bad ass!
Small and powerful!
Until it fails at about 1 year!
@@markmailander6441 3 year warranty on all Ryobi products. Take it back to the home Depot and get a new one! 👍
There are a lot of pump options and the market is really inflated
Brandon PowerStroke lol. You cool
Thanks for watching
Oof. You need to leave good sir. Door's that way.
a regulator is needed
Oof really sucked all the air outta the room with that one.
I was really hoping to see the Ryobi duel inflater/pump compared.
The one that looks like the bauer's? That's the one I have as well.
Thank you for the feedback
I use to research ever thing my self and now I just watch all his videos. Super good job man.
Me to.
I know this is an old video but I'm still very glad it's here! You just helped me save my dad some money. He sent me a link for the Avid Power unit he was interested in getting. I watched this and I was able to explain the shortcomings of that unit. He was glad to hear it because he would not have been happy with it!
Because there is so much garbage out there in the market, I can't thank you enough for your tireless efforts to help your fellow man!! God Bless You!!
Thanks! Glad I could help!
Have you ever thought about testing gas vs electric chainsaws or having an electric chainsaws shootout? Love the channel!
Thank you for the video idea!
I 100% agree I love gas chainsaws and thought it would be a creative video idea
I bought the Milwaukee last year and it hasn’t disappointed!
Thank You 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the feedback!
I bought the DeWalt a few months ago, but it only cost about $120. I didn't want to spend that much, recently moved from an area with a convenience store chain with free air . I have two tires with slow leaks, I got tired of spending $2 for air, and the pump didn't even work half the time.
So after reading about the problems with the cheaper units available, I get the DeWalt. No regrets at all! Fairly quick, accurate, easy to use, no cool down time necessary, runs on battery or 12v plug in lighter. I also find out I saved $80!
Nice! Thanks for sharing.!
At 2:30 the Avid Power's manual warns that the pressure display is not calibrated and to use a reliable measuring device to check. No wonder at 2:56 it's 18 PSI.
Great point! It's way off
whats the point of even having a pressure gauge (especially if it's supposed to auto-shutoff) if its going to be THAT far off? i can understand ~5psi deviation, but this inflator is so far off i'm wondering if you had a defective one.
The Gauge has actually 4 different modes, is it in PSI mode for sure? That much difference seems way to much to believe :D
@@Koichifirst I don't know what the 4th mode could be, but that number is nowhere near the measurement in kPa, bars, or psi
Edit, so I found the last mode would be kg/cubic centimeter and yeah it's not that one either. And if you look carefully when he shows the display of the gauge, you can just barely makeout that the gauge says it is in psi mode
Thank you for your clear, concise, and accurate testing. Dragnet would be proud of you: Just the facts, man.
I would like to see a comparison of air compressors like the Master Flow 1050 or 1089, Smittybilt 2781, Viair 300P or 400P, and others in that range, please. They're more capable than the smaller ones you've tested here, but not the very expensive units that 4-wheelers use for OBA (on-board air) systems, such as when they have air lockers or humongous tires. My buddy and I run 31" tires on our rigs (Explorer and Xterra), and that's the size just before you start getting crazy-big.
Thank you for the video idea!
I think a better test for the high pressure tire would have been to run the pumps as they actually tell you to in the manuals, i.e. limiting the continuous duty time to what was specified and including the cool-down time, and see how long it would take to actually get to the 80 psi. Though this would have made for a much longer test, so I understand why you might not want to do it that way.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have the Milwaukee one, its great. It would be nice to have a corded option like some of the others.
Agree!
