I have the Ryobi with the updated digital gauge and it matches the tire pressure that the sensors are reading.
Makita please
Rigid 18v digital inflator. Says it can fill LT tires
Your videos are really interesting and I am enjoying they are not biased. I have a suggestion for the followings:
Some of the dual power 12v/120v tire inflators (optional battery) + preset PSI auto-shutoff :
1. CRAFTSMAN V20 Inflator (CMCE520B)
2. Avid Power Tire Inflator Air Compressor, 12V DC / 110V AC Dual Power Tire Pump (ACAP322)
3. JACO SmartPro 2.0 AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator
4. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator, Cordless & Corded Power (BDINF20C)
5. Slime Dual Power Tire Inflator (120V/12V)
6. TACKLIFE A6 PLUS Tire Inflator
7. 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!
Forgot to add:
For time measurements could you please try both 12v and 120v input?
This man is better than Consumer Report and J.D. Power Associate.
Thank you very much!
Poor mans Ralph Nader
JD Powers is is joke and a shady company.
Emil Cornell especially when it comes to Chevrolet
Ec8 everyone has a jd power award haha if a car company even mentions that you know their a joke
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!
You did just spend 1000$ on products so we can see quality content. I subscribed 2 years ago and not get disappointed once. Huge respect! 👍🏻
Thank you! Yes, way overspent the monthly video budget. lol
I subbed back during the Ranger SeaFoam videos, I think around the third one. This was a good reminder to finally get on Patreon and subscribe there.
I suspect he can return the products and get money back in first days up to 30 days.
You should return some of the junk products and get your money back at least.
im sure his investment is worth it since he has around 900k subs
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.
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
you think he buys them all with 787k subscribers?
I always check project Farm before consumer reports for any purchases
Thank you very much!
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
Thanks!
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.
Woohoo, another video from Project Farm.
Thank you and hope you enjoy the video!
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.
@@workingguy6666 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!
I bought the DeWalt inflator last year because of this review and I couldn't be happier. Thanks!!
I had the Bauer and thought I couldn't be happier as well, but I was wrong. I'm happier now knowing that I saved ~$100 compared to the Dewalt.
@@shannontaylor1849 . haha
I meant it to be 'funny' instead of 'mean'; I really do have the Bauer, but that also means all of my power tools are cheap since I already have the batteries, etc.
To be fair, the Dewalt can inflate to higher psi and will surely outlast mine.
@@shannontaylor1849 . Nothing wrong with saving a few bucks if you get what you need. Cheers!
Is still going?
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 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.
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!
Thanks and you are welcome!
4 down votes from people who bought the Air Hawk Pro. Excellent job as always.
Thank you!
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 always get pumped up when PF uploads a vid
Thank you!
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.
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.
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 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
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.
@@chrislovessia I use a hair tie, stretchy, ya know, those rubber band like hair things you find in the couch
@@shimes424 😂😂 elastics found in the couch sounds about right
@@shimes424 That sounds great. I guess it keeps the hair out of your eyes while you are sitting there holding that trigger down.
Before buying new tools first thing what i do is watching your videos. Thank you for the great job.
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!
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) :)
jaa man, like that but more of themm :) th-cam.com/video/4hy_gKEep7w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the video idea!
@@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.
@@ProjectFarm Yeah Todd, this is a good one!!! Perfect timing as well!!! I vote for this one as well!!
I use Camp coat,and am not terribly impressed.
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!
You my friend are much appreciated. Thank you.
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.
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.
Would really love to see an updated test comparing all lithium batteries for portable pumps, ie. Dewalt, Ryobi, M18 Milwaukee inflator, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ve had my M12 Inflator for a year now and I’m very happy with it… as it takes up less room than a Bike pump and it really came in handy the one time I had a roadside low tire however … I have pumped up about 20 tires for friends and family … for bicycles just go 5 psi over …
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve used the air hawk to pressure up natural gas pipes on a house for the inspection and pressure test.
Thank you!
What psi do you go to? Isn't most residential NG 5-8 psi? I just use soapy water and pay special attention to unions and ball valves (the few times I have to hook up)
@@shimes424 I went to 10 psi and let it sit for a few days just to be sure before the inspector came to do the official test. The battery power option was handy.
I've used the AstroAI Air Compressor Tire Inflator 12V. Never thought about how good it is which means it's pretty good.
Thanks for sharing.
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
As always, fantastic video and content.
It's great that you don't receive any products for free or accept promotions. I feel like I can always trust you as a non bias, true third party.
Please keep up the good work! Your knowledge and attention to detail make for useful, accurate content and your upbeat personality makes the videos easy to watch.
Thanks!
Thank you! Thanks for the feedback.
0:20 the flat tire from the previous video is back!!!
lol. Can't seem to get it fixed
@@ProjectFarm Just like the 'news' media does with a good crisis, don't let a good flat tire go to waste!
@@ProjectFarm You probably used Fix a Flat.
Project Farm use some tire-ject
The DeWalt one is best for the kids Ghostbusters costumes on Halloween!
I use my dewalt to inflate our stand up paddle board. I found adapters on Amazon and use both the high flow and high pressure ends of the pump. It works really well.
Thanks for the feedback.
The Dewalt tire pump is awesome.
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.
Did somebody once get into an argument with you and told you to prove it? Well, if so, thanks that guy! Keep proving it! Thanks
lol You are welcome!
I appreciate this guys honest, unbiased opinion. He should start selling a "Project Farm Seal of Approval".
Thanks!
I have the Dewalt. After 2 years of pumping up plumbing for inspection before pouring new foundations, and multiple flat tires she's still going strong. I use it with a 10ah battery.
Thanks for sharing.
I race autocross and the ryobi inflator is a standard for tons of competitors for airing our tires back up for the drive home. The holidays usually have it on sale for $25 without battery/charger too. I've even ran mine over with the car and while it did crack the base it still functions and allows the battery to seat properly. A rubber band around it also fixes it so you don't have to hold the trigger. Just don't forget you are disabling a safety.
Thanks for the feedback.
Strange, we sasquatches don't really use tire pumps out here in the woods
Don't you have sasquatch things to do instead of watching videos on something you don't use?
lol
Doesn't your car have wheels made of stone rollers?
It’s time to get with modern times Mr. Squatch. Get a Tesla if you worry about the environment.
@@loganthesaint
Why worry about the environment? The world is going to end in less than 12 years anyway.
So said aoc of America.
Ok she doesn't have a clue, still lots of people think she's correct.
Nice video!
Harbor Freight really surprised me. Many of the issues with these style pumps is duty cycle/heat. The heat generated by the pumps plus being in an enclosed case with just slotted vents is the main cause of failure. I've disassembled many failed pumps and...
1-The pumps heat up and melt the housing its press fitted into.
2- The electrical components. Wires, terminals, switches etc. are under designed for the use most people subject these units to.
The Harbor Freight pump/motor is open to the air which is a big plus.
I 've owned a Master Flow branded 12vdc pump for almost 20 years. Just the construction and gauge of the power cord can tell you a lot. It's a $100 pump but its built like it.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Love my ryobi. Perfect at the drag strip after you air down and need to air back up to drive home.
Glad to hear!
I bought the M12 with a 2ah battery and charger for 99$ I think I got a good deal... thanks for steering me in the right direction ...!
You are welcome!
I used to read Consumer Reports, now I just watch this guy.
I have the Avid inflator (since last 2 years), works perfectly and auto shuts off at the desired PSI perfectly. My Jeep's TPMS display matches that of the Avid inflator.
My only concern with carrying the battery powered ones in the vehicle is fire safety.
I've been using the Master Flow Tsunami for about a decade now. It is a 12 volt car battery connection, and I have not had a single problem with this unit for almost a decade!! About a third of the size of the Dewalt and it will out perform it as well!
Thanks for sharing.
As a contractor I can tell you that any compressor that is "oil less" will last you one season before the plastic piston/rings/rod assembly goes bye bye. They are not for "regular" use, but rather rare emergencies. The heat and pressure guarantee that the parts will fail.
Thanks for the feedback.
Definitely my go to for tool reviews! I make all my purchases based on his reviews!
Great to hear!
I never buy anything without looking at this first
I needed batteries and guess what I got the Amazon brand cuz it was cheap and this channel proved that overall it’s a good quality
Thanks for sharing.
Consumer Reports & JD Power is "PAID OFF" advertisers who give out awards to the highest bidder
I'd love to see an update to either tire inflator video @ProjectFarm. There are quite a few newer and/or cheaper models available now.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Just recently found your channel and love the reviews. I had a question about these pumps. Some allow other ways to power the pump instead of the battery. How do they perform using the DC port? It would be interesting to see how they compare to the Pittsburgh pump if they are running off the DC input instead of the battery.
Thanks for the video idea.
It brought me great satisfaction to see the DeWalt one I bought scored well in your tests
Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Because of it I have 2 Bauer’s one dewalt and one Milwaukee basically one per vehicle.
Thank you
Thank you!
I found it hilarious that you read the recommended times of operation and then completely ignored them lol 😂
Nice, thanks project farm, for another great video, ( I got the Ryobi on sale for $20.00 each and got 4 of them , one in each car, made a hack to power it off the 12v car battery too or 18v battery)
Thanks and you are welcome!
Lionel here in central California. Very nice as usual. I almost got the Ryobi pump but upgraded to the duel function Ryobi which looks like the DeWalt duel inflator. Guess I'll have to test it myself, lol. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
For everyone wanting a battery powered one. Keep in mind that the heat from a car can damage the battery over time. So you may need to replace the battery if that is something you are able to do.
After having a fancy battery included pump that had a pressure cutoff setting, battery, and vacuum have the battery degrade to almost nothing and an exploded coke make the gauge quit working. I think I'll be getting the corded harbor freight so I don't have to worry about battery degradation. Then I can use my car's onboard pressure sensors to be ready to turn it off fropm inside the car.
With how cheap and fast it is as well as how robust it is, I think a corded harbor freight will be worth it over anything with a battery.
Thanks for the feedback.
Pete from Just A Few Acres Farm sent me, love your reviews!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just purchased the DeWalt, on your recommendation, but also because I have 4 batteries!
Thanks for sharing.
I just came across this video and I have to say thanks for the money, time and efforts made by you to provide us with all the great results. I see that this video is a few years old and was wondering if you would be able to include the RIDGID 18V Cordless Digital Inflator and the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless High Pressure Inflator with Digital Gauge in your next Lithium Ion cordless tire inflator product test - thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great job just curious on why you didn’t run the Milwaukee one 18 V and only the 12 V would like to see that
Enjoy all the videos you do. Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
hold on, i could have been using my foot to fill my tires this whole time?
Was that the legless person who said that ?
Every PF video just adds credence that... for THE BEST product reviews, you WILL NOT beat Project Farm. PF has set the bar so high that if someone ever comes along that can out do him, it will cause a dead short in youtube and most likely break the internet.
Thanks for the nice comment!
Can we get a gear oil test 75w-90?
Great test idea!! Thank you
As well as other viscositys just for comparison sake.
Milwaukee now has the m18 inflator too and it’s way faster then the m12. Both are great though
Thanks for sharing.
My dark side wanted to see you use the hand pump for 20 minutes hahaha thanks for the review just purchased a pump based off of your review thanks for the information
You are welcome!
Just bought 2 Avid pumps and the meter is accurate in my two. You seems to have a defective meter unfortunately. You should return it and get another. Very nice compilation, very profession editing. Thankyou.
You are welcome! Thanks for the constructive feedback.
Same test 5 years later: foot pump wins.
Thank you for the feedback
minus one knee surgery
You need to test the new Milwaukee inflator...it is without peer!!
Thanks for the suggestion.
This guy is really good .like someone said get rid of consumer report.he is so much better.
Thanks!
Good job on doing something I would not have time to do. I am glad to see the name brands came out on top because I already have those battery systems. I installed a complete air system on my truck 16 years ago with a 1 gallon tank for the engine brake and a 3 gallon for remote use and the air bag system with three gauges and switches in the cab.
Thank you!
I really like the Makita 18v inflator. Digital readout, auto shutoff and I have used it to 110 psi on my large fifth wheel tiers.
Thanks for sharing.
On my way to Home Depot to pick up a Ryobi pump. My old no-name pump from a generic kit finally shot craps.
Thank you for sharing!
@@ProjectFarm You bet! It was very easy and quick to air up my lawnmower tires.
***A SCREW-ON CHUCK will eventually jam you up. Always opt for the clip-on style chuck. If the threads on your valve stem are beat up(rock, curb) your screw-on chuck won't connect. The most amazing air pump is useless if you can't connect it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Note that Ryobi has another battery powered unit that is shaped more like the Bauer, and it has an automatic cutoff. I bought one of those instead of the Ryobi unit tested here.
Thanks for sharing.
Can you do a update video on this please with the newer products that have came out !
Thanks for the suggestion.
Love the fast forward tire inflation race
Thanks!
I would like to see you include Ridgid in your testing when possible. I have run some DeWalt v Ridgid side by side testing with some surprising results. Thank you for being our go-to tester.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great job on comparing. It helped me immensely.
Glad it helped!
It would be neat to see the Milwaukee M18 pump. Especially with one of those beefy 12Ah batteries.
Thanks for the suggestion.
All I know on the subject....is for less than $30 for the tool...the Ryobi is the best value. You can put one in each vehicle that you own and use batteries you already own. And when you finally wear one out...you've got your money's worth. I've used them consistently over the years and the they have lasted with steady use. It has been handy more than once and easy to use that even a teenager can follow the directory 😆
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for doing this test. I purchased the jf egwo 3000 inflator/jump starter due to the reviews on Amazon and it seems to work well. Would like to see it apart of your tests in the future.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video! If I didn’t already carry a power source I would go with the Air Hawk because it is small and has the 12V source cord in case the battery is dead. Most of my cordless power tools are Milwaukee however without an alternative 12V way to use it I wouldn’t get that one. I've been carrying a bigger lead-acid type jump starter for years. It is the same model a tow truck used to jump start my friend’s car. I plug my 12V compressor into that so I don't have to keep my engine running when inflating my tire. I use that jump starter to power an electric blanket, laptop, and charge my phone when I don’t want to run the car. The main issue about battery inflators is if your car has no power, it doesn't matter whether your tire is flat or not.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for the tests!
You are welcome!
Hey there , I've been watching your great vids for a long time and really appreciate your very respectable testing/comparison discipline. I would like to suggest that in this comparison vid, there are a couple details that might be somewhat variable. Your selection of units to compare is very practical and complies with the regular price range to use differential. I do realize that some users will easily pay for the higher priced units to ensure reliability, but there are a few very good lower priced units out there, including a couple that you actually tested in this vid, which do perform quite competitively, when the variables are not involved. For instance, the Avid Power unit that failed this particular test, is actually a very reliable device with an accurate metering system. The variable in this case is likely a manufacturing defect, which could very easily exist with any of the higher priced units as well. I would vote for a rematch. :)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Honestly, looking at your numbers, the Bauer looks like the best value for performance and versatility. It didn't win in any category, but was right up there across the board.
Thanks for sharing.
I'd be curious to see a part 2 to this with the makita and milwaukee m18 inflator included
Thanks for the suggestion.
Plus they sell batteries you can use to boost your car off charge your cell phones that have adapters that do the same thing and will basically be cheaper than just buying something that you only use to Air a tire up. So you save money by buying the battery booster that will start your car charge your cell phones and you can connect one of the cheaper tire pumps that goes off the auxiliary charge port.
Thanks for a lot of great information.
You are welcome! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it.
I've found with these compressors the gauges usually aren't that accurate if you check with a good guage I'm sure you will all find in most cases they're off by a few pounds. I have a HF Pittsburgh pump with battery clamps for about 100 bucks and it inflates faster than anything I've ever had for the cost and has lasted longer than any of the previous ones that I've had with similar costs or more expensive 12V or cordless.
Thanks for the feedback.
For the price I bought the Avid only because I always have a good tire gauge in each vehicle.
Thanks for sharing.
I definitely recommend the Avid Power from experience. I have two which I use weekly and they have been fast, convenient and the gauges are accurate. Built in pressure gauge and auto-off make these all so much better than using an old style inflator. I top off all 4 tires in a couple minutes and don't have to wait around to shut it off or check the gauge multiple times. Press the button, walk away and come back when it turns off.
Thanks for the feedback.
I second this the pump is very accurate I use it with my electric bike and recently help my coworker fill his tire that had 44 PSI in a matter of minutes and another one also bought it guess they have improve their product since the making of this video.
If you ever do a corded test again, I suggest trying a VIAIR 88P. I bought it for being able to inflate pickup tires.
It fills pretty quick. Certainly gets hot. Has clamps to hook up directly to the battery.
I’m happy with it. Luckily I haven’t had to use it much.
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm your welcome.
Have you ever compared chainsaw chains? Including the Carbide chains?
I hold your reviews in the highest regard, I’ve learned how to properly choose motor oils specifically due to my passion for vehicle maintenance, and now this review on battery powered inflators has sold me on the DeWalt brand which I was hoping would be the case because I have many DeWalt 20v max tools so continued thanks to this channel… gotta ask, what do you do with all these products being tested when done? eBay I presume??
Thanks! What I don't save for future episodes I donate in my community.
Aww yeeesss, Just sat down looking for something to watch; this is some good timing.
Thanks for all your hard work as always.
Thank you!
Perfect for after work.
