I have the Ryobi hand held inflator. I got tired of holding it, so I bought the older one that you have & I’m happy with it, plus I keep it & the battery in a tool bag in the tool box of my pickup truck. Keep the Ry-O-bee🙂, information coming, stay WARM
I love quick connect over the twist, but i hate that it's all plastic. It will degrade from too much heat exposure. I'll stick to my old one with the quick connect attachment I bought seperately.
agree, I would also think it isn't as solid as brass in the Swedish winter cold I live in, last weekend it was below -20°C (-4°F). I would think the plastic easily cracks in severe cold, especially since it is "expanding force" on the sleeve when put on the tire valve. The next progression should be a quick connection with a proper metal body and quality o-rings.
I have the older model and never found it difficult to use. With the battery on the new one, the size difference doesn't appear to be a lot. The new chuck is nice but not worth buying a new device. The screw on chuck has always gone on easily and quickly. This update should make the previous model a great bargain.
Thank you so much for showing how to connect the nozzle on the new one. It may seem obvious, but it wasnt for me because i have plastic rim covers where i couldnt get my fingers around the gray tip.
I am so curious how the new very small one does pumping up tires, and how hot they get on a full flat if it doesn't have a ridiculously low duty cycle.
Thank you for this review. Just what I was looking for! I wasn’t sure if I should pick up the old one before they go out of stock. This reviews settled it. I will go for the new 👍🏻
I have the older model , it's been great , no big deal with the screw on connection , the only thing I would have liked to see is the possibility of using the 12 Volt car plug in case you are stuck somewhere and don't have a charged battery pack , not sure how complex that would be to add , i know that my emergency first aid kit in the truck has one , but it takes a very long time to pump up the tires.
Bought the smaller of these two,and it works great.Love the easy attach air nozzle and the digital air pressure guide.The hose does stay in place when stored,unlike many other brands that end up coming off.
I liked the upgrades and yes they are a natural progression but are they worth the added 20 bucks. No It still doe the same thing as the other just better but hey that is what a new version is supposed to do. None of the old ones querks were total deal breakers or made me think "holy crap i really need that new one". Great review though. Look forward to the next. You got a follow from me.
Just had that happen to me. I learned that these inflator all have what I'll call duty cycles. They get hot. In ryobi they recommended using them for 5 minutes then resting for 5 minutes.
I have the older version BUT mine has an 18” hose and it’s too short ! Love the machine, hate the hose length. Here, his had a 24” hose on both. I guess they upgraded hose lengths. Still like the old design best.
I just got a Ridgid inflator. Really well reviewed from Project Farm in comparison to Ryobi at the time. Only $42 using a Home Depot hack. I seldomly use an inflator so the lifetime service agreement helps when and if it goes kaputt
I love my older Ryobi inflator. I have no complaints with it what so ever. It could be quieter but its an air compressor so no big deal. Ive had weaker much louder ones before it that were DC.
I just got this last week the new one but don’t know what the little accessories that came with it do, especially that metal one. Can you make a video explaining about these please
I have the old one but it came with the new plastic push on connector. I bought it in the UK. The new one doesn’t tween to be enough of an upgrade to warrant the money
I had the old one for a long time. But it finally died after inflating my cars tires for so long. Was surprised that they don't sell the old model at home Depot anymore. So for the new one. Haven't tried it yet but I'm hoping it does a good job like the old one
What I would like to see is ability to do the intermediate items like stand up paddle boards, kayaks and tents. These need more volume than a tyre and more pressure than an air mattress.
@@slim56 I think you're right, it'll probably overheat before getting close. Maybe if you do it in steps with pauses, but that's not a viable option. I bet the manual has a warning to not exceed x minutes of operation without a cooling down period. I think you have to have a dedicated tire inflator that is great at inflating tires, without the air mattress option - combo tools often do compromise on all functions, better to have a great tire inflator with good cfm, pressure, and operation time specs.
That "we did 6 psi ... 4 minutes" comparison is not valid. It is much more work and will take much longer to go from 45 psi to 50 psi than it is to go from 0 psi to 5 psi. I have the old one. It's the only portable air pump I repeatedly use. Guess I'll have to pick up a new one now... Thanks for the review!
I have the Australian one (CIT1800G, similar to the older version in video) and it's basically the same, except it has a rocker switch for inflating tyres or via the hose, and the tyre hose has a clamp/lever on it to fix it on the valve stem. Still only 150 max PSI pumping out, same length cable, same issues as identified in the video.
I have a P737 18v for a long time. It is dying on me, so I went to Home Depot to get another inflator. They were supposed to have 26 in stock. After 30 minutes of 3 employees looking for them and they couldn't find even 1. So I go to another store and they are out. I wanted/needed one of the newest ones but I went home empty handed. I guess I will change to another brand.
What does an 8 lug rim have to do with inflating a tire? Also, why wouldnt you use a more standard size tire? It looks like you have a 33-35 tire? Is that tire size standard where you live? WTH?!
Since Ryobi has permanently banned me from making comments because I said their jump pack was too expensive I'll comment about this Inflator here. My favorite one was the one prior to the older one you showed here. Why bother with these tiny upgrades other than to try and get more money out of you? If your going to release a new inflator make it a substantial upgrade. Ryobi does this with all of their new tools and it's a ripoff.
Isn't that true of most manufacturers tho? If a manufacturer waits until a new version of a product is significantly better in all features rather than smaller improvements, it can easily be overrun by the competition releasing its stuff. If you don't like it, why not just skip one or more upgrades until you think it's worth it.
P731 had mine for about 7 or 8 years. It's the best out of the bunch as far as I'm concerned. Not the most compact but having to handle batteries protected. Doesn't tip over. Easy to see the display when you're using it. Auto shut off quick disconnect deflate inflate.
I have the older model and it works just fine. 😊
I like the older style better, just add that new ones upgraded motor, display and light ( that’s my wish ) 🙏

I need a machine now, should I get the old or the new one? Plastic quick connect does concern me...

bought the new one and love it....except for the tire connector. can NEVER connect the hose securely the first time.
If and when the older one I have stops working, then I would probably purchase the new one. But not enough to run out a replace it now.
Have the older one and it works fine. Once it dies...I'll buy the new one. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for a true comparison, unlike other “reviews@ that don’t compare at all.
My older model sounds like it's starting to fail, new one is in my future. Thank you for the thorough comparison

I had the same issue, and autozone sells adaptors , very practical and solved the problem
If that's what's you don't like get the Dewalt 20v inflater. Runs on 20v battery, car 12vdc or ac 120v

I like the new version. Smaller and stronger.

Looks like the old one is quieter, and in the old design the battery isn't resting on the floor being vibrated and stressed.
Thankyou for your review. Just bought the new model
My old one just blew up need a new one
Just had that happen to me. I learned that these inflator all have what I'll call duty cycles. They get hot. In ryobi they recommended using them for 5 minutes then resting for 5 minutes.
Yeah mines just starts like it's falling apart now so I guess it's done for am I right fellas?
Great review! Does the new one heat up at all doing 4 tires? My current inflator (cheap off amazon) gets so hot it stops running fast
They all do
I have the older version BUT mine has an 18” hose and it’s too short ! Love the machine, hate the hose length. Here, his had a 24” hose on both. I guess they upgraded hose lengths. Still like the old design best.

I have the same truck. However, what I want to know is if it can go from 60-80 psi. I air up my back tires to 80 when towing
I love my older Ryobi inflator. I have no complaints with it what so ever. It could be quieter but its an air compressor so no big deal. Ive had weaker much louder ones before it that were DC.

I have the old one but it came with the new plastic push on connector. I bought it in the UK. The new one doesn’t tween to be enough of an upgrade to warrant the money
So the new one has a more solid tube, but is the new tire adapter more flimsy? Plastic does not sound as solid as brass like the old one has

You help make my decision!
Is the connector solid brass or brass plated?
What I would like to see is ability to do the intermediate items like stand up paddle boards, kayaks and tents. These need more volume than a tyre and more pressure than an air mattress.
Yip, I'm waiting for the same as well. Don't bank on it though.
Does the new one have PSI set points or PSI display for the high volume side?
I been trying to get the hang of the value to pump it , I been losing air if I don’t put on right
Wondering if either of these will actually inflate a large Motorhome tire to 120 psi. Has anyone out there done this? TIA.
Good question,
I have the older version and I wouldn’t bet on it.
Im betting no way

It probably can after cycling a few times.

You're talking about a low pressure addition of air compared to a high pressure, it's harder at high pressure but needs more volume at low
Have you tried it against the Australian one🤔
Interesting, what is the difference in spec?
I have the Australian one (CIT1800G, similar to the older version in video) and it's basically the same, except it has a rocker switch for inflating tyres or via the hose, and the tyre hose has a clamp/lever on it to fix it on the valve stem.

Let’s see if this hose is 2 ft long and proceeds to pull out a tape measure when there’s a 2 foot mat on the desk 😂

Very common where I live. I actually want to know if it can fill that size tire up to 80psi as that is what I run mine at when towing.
Please, it's pronounced r👁obee. I have both; I like both. The old one is in my wife's car and the new one is in my truck.

How much is Home Depot paying this guy? I wonder if he sleeps with these tools?
Not these ones but all his others.
The new one sucks
