I have one of these inflators for 3-4 years now. It’s worth it’s weight in gold. It’s come in handy more times than I can count. I drive with one of these and a plug kit in my truck most of the time you don’t need to change a tire you can fill the tire with inflator while plugging the tire still on the truck when you get a screw/nail etc in your tire. On vaca it fills floats and air beds nieces and nephews bicycle tires. . You can own a compressor but most people can’t drive around with one this is perfect for behind the seat or in the trunk etc. middle of night on the side of the road. I’ve helped friends neighbors myself with this tool .
I got this deal as a combo last December it came with the inflator, battery, 3/8 impact wrench and a socket set and ratchet for $150 it is a great combo set the inflator is a great product use it almost once a day to top off tires. The impact wrench is not meant to take off lug nuts but good to work on under the hood
im super happy with that lil guy, i have bought it to top my 33 muds from 12/15 to 33 psi every offroad trip. Used it with 6.0ah to fill all 4 33/11.5 17 tyres from 12/15 psi to 33 takes about a half of the battery.
Hey Vince, I love that thing for topping off tires, when the misses has a flat at work, daughters to take when they go on a trip ect. Bought 2 kits clearanced for $84.00 clearanced after Christmas last year. I usually fun the 6 ah or 3 ah batt.
Both my father and I own this, it's a great tool. I bought some quick release air chucks and works great instead of screwing and unscrewing all the time.

love this compressor !!! had it over a year and had many a low tires and a couple of flats . on 3 occasions while i was waiting for my tire to inflate i was on my phone longer than it took to finish inflating.i hate to admit this but each time i forgot that i had it in use and took off down the road to hear a strange noise. OPPPS got out of the van and realized immediately that i had left it connected, except for some cosmetic damage this thing works as new ....love my milwaukee tools !!!!
They're convenient. Works good for just topping off car tires 4-5psi but great for mowers too. Nice part is that you don't have to have a tire gauge. Just set it hook it up and walk away.
Honestly this thing is worth the $120 tool only. I got it for the $99 a couple of years ago and it gets used on a regular basis. Fits under the backseat of my F250 with about a half inch to spare before it hits the bottom of the seat. All of my trailer tires are 14ply 110psi and my truck tires are 35x12.50R20 12ply 65psi. This inflator will get a trailer tire up to 70-80 psi with a couple batteries and will get a truck tire to 65 psi no problem(both from 0 psi). It doesn’t bother me to take a sec (especially if you just plugged a 14ply on the side of the road) and sit in the truck while it fills up. Auto shut off a nice feature. It’ll get pretty hot after filling a trailer tire, but it works every time I use it. My girlfriend calls me with a flat 2-4x a year and I can meet her wherever for 10 minutes and we’re both back on the road. This is one of the most underrated milwaukee tools and $99-$120 to not be on the side of the road waiting on AAA is a move
One of my favorite Milwaukee tools. When you are on the side of the road and the Scout Trailer just blue a tire … this is what you use to get the spare up to pressure. It’s also so handy that I find I checki the tires on our families fleet of three vehicles.
I have one of those. Used it for a few years, it inflates quicker than any other battery inflator. It is great for topping off small tires and occasionally a large tire. Mine started acting up after a year of regular use, I dissected it and found the reciprocating piston is very cheaply made, Black and Decker even uses better materials. I gave it to my wife for her to top off her car tires until it dies. I do give it to Milwaukee, it is fast and efficient, a 10/10. But durability is a 3/10. The Black and Decker 20v inflator, although slower, is much more durable.
I have a few of them and they're great. This summer they had some "special buy" labeled kits with the inflator, charger, battery, and the top off for $99. As long as you're not trying to air up past about 85 psi it works great (I killed one trying to air up a tire on my service truck).
when you say “killed” you mean the battery died or the inflator broke? I’m looking to get one so I want as much info as I can get before I pull the trigger
@@Wuilmer39 busted the piston of the rod. My outside dual was at 70 psi and I wanted to boost the pressure up before moving the truck. I'm sure in certain circumstances the inflator may reach pressures of up to 115 psi but a medium duty truck tire isn't one of them.
I have the DeWalt version and my brother has this Milwaukee. Very convenient when out and about. Easier than the 12 volt corded that goes in your cigarette lighter and doesn’t get near as hot.
I just got this thing for 99$ in the kit like that and it works great. Use a 4.0 and bigger for maximum results. Works really good and I love it. I found the last one just sifting through the racks as well. Bless up man.
Love this video - I spotted and got this deal on Oct 19th. It was up on top the pallet racks, had to have a guy dig it out. He then scanned it and it came up for $99 and I knew that wasn't the normal price. I have another Milwaukee tool deal that I found last night that you won't believe last night. How can I pass that info on? I pumped plugged a flat tire for a kid who ran over a screw and this inflator pumped it up in no time. It's super handy and pumps up fast.
I have the Ridgid inflator. I bought a second one for $49. This inflator is a beast. Its regular price is $69. It has an auto feature, as well as a manual feature.
I love mine! Works awesome for topping off car tires, lawnmower, atv or bicycles tires. Always throw it in my vehicle with my tire plug kit just in case I get a flat on a long trip. Just don't expect for heavy duty use. Definitely get some XC batteries and you'll be much happier. I wish they made this in M18 as well.
On the bright side there is now an M18 version, and harbor freight sells cheap air tanks you could fill up with either. Downside with the M18 as with all things milwaukee is the price
I have the M12 Platform and Makita 18v Platform. I saw both inflator at HD. Should I go for the 18v Makita inflator or M12 inflator? Which one works better and can do bigger tires. Or are they the same.
That is such a handy compressor, I bought a second one-I top off all my trailer tires two at a time. It’s also great for pressure testing plumbing systems, and for draining expansion tanks prior to removal-by pumping it up!
I was yelling at my phone “tighten it up”! Also I’ve pumped up 4 absolutely FLAT! Car tyres with a 4 amp batt. And still had half a battery left.. Very handy for cars, bikes, scooters, balls.. it’s the best.!!
Hey I'm in the trades and I fill and air test my copper piping with this inflator when you don't want to use a hand pump or just to lazy to being the big compressor out to do a 20min air test this thing is perfect
I haven't bought one but have used it and wished they made a m18 version of the inflator. It never felt like it was worth $120 bare tool but $100 with a battery is decent. I also completely agree with you about those terrible m12 chargers, I get annoyed every time I get another m12 combo kit and have to stow or toss the charger.
I got it last year for $85. So far it’s been great and lasted. I had ryobi one and it lasted 3 tire fill ups before it burned up 😂 started smoking and caught fire.
Love this tool carry it in the truck all the time. Great for topping them off. Never had a problem with it. Use the 4ah battery and I can top off 4 tires on a full charge. 20lbs a tire.
Love the m12 inflator, doesn’t do big tires but it will do most all cars and top the tires off of my f350 when needed albeit slow. Great for cars/lawnmower/wheel barrow tires and sport balls for whenever you dont want to use an air compressor
I have one from last Christmas. It came with sockets and a bunch of other things like a battery. It’s great if you need to fill up a ball or bike tire and you don’t have to get the cig lighter one out of your car.
@VCG Construction. Hey Vince. I have both that Milwaukee inflator and the Dewalt one. I think my Dewalt is a little more quiet and just a bit slower than the Milwaukee inflator. I like the controls on the Dewalt. I bought the Milwaukee inflator about two years ago when it was bundled with a brushed 3/8" impact wrench and 3/8" ratchet set with sockets for about $150. Very convenient inflators to have like you said to top off your tires or inflate a flat tire. Keeping you and your family in my daily prayers.
My 18v Makita inflator is one of the most useful tools that I own, it handles completely flat car and trailer tires just fine. This m12 inflator would be great for wheel barrows, hand trucks, maintenance carts, etc., especially if you have a larger property or have to work in different locations. I didn’t know how much I needed a portable inflator, until I had one.
I love this inflator, I use it to top off my 2 cars because I always forget when I’m at the gas station. One day I got a leak in my tyre and this thing saved my ass, I topped it off so I could go and get it fixed. The tire had gone completely flat, literally like 0 PSI. Took about 5-8 mins but much easier and faster than changing to spare.
I have one and I use it several dozen times a year, either to top off a low tire, fill a tire back up after I plugged a hole, or most often to set my tire pressure at the drag strip weather I need to air up or air down. With my small car I find it usually takes less than a minute to top off, it fills a bike tire in like 30 seconds from flat. Super handy and definitely worth the money 👌
Bought my wife the handheld ryobi 18v inflator. That thing works pretty great. I have a few m12 tools. Price is the only thing making me hesitate to pull the trigger.
Yo Vince its a awesome tool I filled my truck tire up when it was completely flat Also use it for pumping up water lines and drains for a inspection I have 2 of them btw
I have this, a stubby, a portable jump starter, and a tire patch kit I keep in a husky bag for when I'm going on a long trip especially when I know there is no service for a long stretch
It ain't junk.... for sure. Been using mine weekly and well beyond the recommended run times and she keeps on truckin. Saved my ass on truck n trailer flats and slow leaks so many times I can't count. You'll love having it bro.... trust me like I trust you.
This with the quick release adapter is amazing. Choose a psi as soon as one finishes go to the next quick connect and repeat. No need to set the psi again or anything. Machine was good but with the quick connect its perfect. $9 on Amazon
I just ordered this now the last one online from Home Depot with a 4ah and a 2.0ah battery and charger 116.10 needed this because Incase of road side emergency
If you are slightly forgetful, you might want to pick up more than one for just yourself. I have taken off in my vehicle with the inflator still attached. It is robust, and still works aside from not having a roll cage
I have the dewalt, wouldv got it done in 15-30 sec. Love that thing. Use it for car tires, kids bikes, basketballs, footballs. Gets it done in seconds.
Hey! I've had this tool for a long time.. For smaller tires like bikes and things.. Id recommend setting a 2-3 PSI less than the PSI you actually want, as there is a delay between when the reading shows, and what it actually is. I found that it would routinely go a few PSI higher than I set it. Hope this helps. Also I would recommend getting a 6AH battery for this thing.. Definitely fills faster and lasts quite a while.
Love mine. Got mine for $50 with a 2.0 and USB battery adapter a couple years ago. I use it to top off my tires on my cars/trucks and keep it in my truck for when I pull my camper. It's saved me many times. Keep 2- 6.0 batterys with it. Also keep a 3/8 stubby impact in there.
it works good for what it is, specially for atv's but i have also used it for vehicles as well. However my dislike is it is bulky and it does not have a 12v cord if the battery dies which it will on a large tire. a better choice i feel for storage and usability is the Ridgid 18v digital inflator R87044 (hybrid) this one works much better and comes with a 12v cord if you dont want to use the battery and a quick release for connectiong to the valve stem instead of having to screw it on like Milwaukee. I carry the ridgid in my SxS and ATV with ease unlike the Milwaukee. The both work much better then any other 12v compact inflator i have used in the past. Oh and the Ridgid come with the LSA so how can you go wrong with that. If you use a larger battery it will just extend the run time not make it fill any faster generally speaking obviously there are things that can affect output.
The rigid inflator is better and it doesn't have a shader, and no I'm not a rigid or milwaukee fan. I'm just a fan of good tools no matter who makes them.
Never fails to read the manual 😅 after watching this I went and picked one up. I got to say I love this coming from the Ryobi I love the set it and forgot feature… I’m not looking to win a race in filling tires I’m no nascar pit stop. This does the job perfect and the accuracy is on point
Funny, I actually walked in the door with this right before this video posted. same deal, my phone scan came up with nothing and had to have the store employee scan for the price
Air should not be leaking and should be tight . I use the inflator on the job for an air test on gas piping - new or retro fit . It’s not the fastest but I can set pressure and walk away 👍
I got one of those the first winter they came out in Special Buy. I knew it was going to be good. It’s not really for inflating from fully empty and flat, just quick maintenance and such. Should have enough guts to top off a Bobcat tire also.
First time I have seen that inflator in use. I think it looks solid. The audio effects in the video were awesome. Had me laughing! 🤣 Have a great day! 👍🏻
I scored it 2 years ago with the promo that included the nice M12 power source and I love it! The only thing that makes it better is a quick valve stem connector from Amazon that screws in the end 👌
People will complain about the 2 1/2-3 1/2 minutes it takes to fill up.. well enjoy driving 5 minutes out of your way just to get to a pump station. I know what route I’m taking. Badass little pump for what I neeed it for.
I got a couple of kits about 2 years ago. The kit It also included the M12 power source. I believe it was about $70 or $80. I got two one for my car and one for the wife's car. I couldn't believe the price considering the power source is about $49 on its own. I got very lucky that day.
Works great for me. Keep it in each car. Good to top off lbs. Have to make sure to thread it and not gorilla. I think you have a return item there and exchange. Use with a 4ah and 6ah is quick enough. Consider if it's pumped up cold or the weather is too.
You should get a 9 amp hour battery on Amazon just for kicks and giggles and try it. Of course at your own tool expense. I like my after market M12 batteries.
This is great for topping off like you said and is compact for travel. No, it isn't fast, but still worth it. I run XC batteries with this. This thing lives in my truck. M18 is going to be way faster, but is also 5x the size and 3.5x the cost (bare tool).
This thing isn't junk. I have many, many Milwaukee tools and any time my tool nerd friends ask me what my most under rated tool is, I tell them the inflator, no question.
I just learned something about TH-cam that i never knew before thanks vince now when people point up and say their's a link i don't sit and wonder what your pointing up at 🤷
I'll not sure about that one. I could use something like that. But I am glad to see it featured in a video. The more I think about it, I think I would just go with the larger 18V Milwaukee or 18V Metabo HPT battery compressor. That way there is no doubt that the job will get done. Thanks Vince for the video.
Vince I been away for like a year...been in school for history and I’m about to finish my associates and transfer to university, keep the great content coming
You probably had a little cross threading going on at first. It always takes me more than one attempt to form a seal because the threads are so fine and the angle is weird.
I love my inflator! Very convenient for the right price 💯 Go Vince! P. S. Although you don't get more power a 6ah will fill up all your tires, from flat, with no problem!
Nice to have but it’s a battery eater! Run a 6.0 just to make sure you can finish all four or six tires. Honestly Ryobi tire inflator is amazing. I use this mainly for line testing. Tires in a pinch.
no need for cigarette lighter plug in and messing with short leads . i am van driver , try to inflate rear tyre without taking wheel off . this thing no problem . bit loud , very fast👍
Vince I have the Dewalt one. I LOVE it for my motorcycles and I also use to top off my vehicles, and motorcycle trailer tires. Dewalt seems a nicer than this one but thats just my observation..... 👍
It is NOT junk. I love mine. Works like a champ.

Definitely a must buy. Personally have one. Great for topping off tires in the morning. Beats waiting in line at a pubic air fill up location.
This with the quick release adapter is amazing. Choose a psi as soon as one finishes go to the next quick connect and repeat. No need to set the psi again or anything. Machine was good but with the quick connect its perfect. $9 on Amazon
Share the item number pls
I just ordered this now the last one online from Home Depot with a 4ah and a 2.0ah battery and charger 116.10 needed this because Incase of road side emergency
If you are slightly forgetful, you might want to pick up more than one for just yourself. I have taken off in my vehicle with the inflator still attached. It is robust, and still works aside from not having a roll cage
I used it wit the 6 amp batter n love it. Fills up quick to me wit the 6 amp. Perfect tool to have wit u at the track when racing the cars
This thing is a must have. Use all the time for topping off car tires and bike tires. It is GREAT!
I have the dewalt, wouldv got it done in 15-30 sec. Love that thing. Use it for car tires, kids bikes, basketballs, footballs. Gets it done in seconds.
Hey! I've had this tool for a long time.. For smaller tires like bikes and things.. Id recommend setting a 2-3 PSI less than the PSI you actually want, as there is a delay between when the reading shows, and what it actually is. I found that it would routinely go a few PSI higher than I set it. Hope this helps. Also I would recommend getting a 6AH battery for this thing.. Definitely fills faster and lasts quite a while.
Love mine. Got mine for $50 with a 2.0 and USB battery adapter a couple years ago. I use it to top off my tires on my cars/trucks and keep it in my truck for when I pull my camper. It's saved me many times. Keep 2- 6.0 batterys with it. Also keep a 3/8 stubby impact in there.
You shit and fall back in it
it works good for what it is, specially for atv's but i have also used it for vehicles as well. However my dislike is it is bulky and it does not have a 12v cord if the battery dies which it will on a large tire. a better choice i feel for storage and usability is the Ridgid 18v digital inflator R87044 (hybrid) this one works much better and comes with a 12v cord if you dont want to use the battery and a quick release for connectiong to the valve stem instead of having to screw it on like Milwaukee. I carry the ridgid in my SxS and ATV with ease unlike the Milwaukee. The both work much better then any other 12v compact inflator i have used in the past. Oh and the Ridgid come with the LSA so how can you go wrong with that. If you use a larger battery it will just extend the run time not make it fill any faster generally speaking obviously there are things that can affect output.
The rigid inflator is better and it doesn't have a shader, and no I'm not a rigid or milwaukee fan. I'm just a fan of good tools no matter who makes them.
I got this thing in a kit with 2 3.0 batteries for $100 bucks and i love it
I'm very happy with mine. I will say though that inflators use a lot of battery so if you got one, use the 6AH.
Never fails to read the manual 😅 after watching this I went and picked one up. I got to say I love this coming from the Ryobi I love the set it and forgot feature… I’m not looking to win a race in filling tires I’m no nascar pit stop. This does the job perfect and the accuracy is on point
Funny, I actually walked in the door with this right before this video posted. same deal, my phone scan came up with nothing and had to have the store employee scan for the price
Air should not be leaking and should be tight . I use the inflator on the job for an air test on gas piping - new or retro fit . It’s not the fastest but I can set pressure and walk away 👍
Just got this compressor in Ireland 160€ down to around 85€ on Black Friday, it’s decent for vans with heavy loads to fill up the pressure
I got one of those the first winter they came out in Special Buy. I knew it was going to be good. It’s not really for inflating from fully empty and flat, just quick maintenance and such. Should have enough guts to top off a Bobcat tire also.
First time I have seen that inflator in use. I think it looks solid. The audio effects in the video were awesome. Had me laughing! 🤣 Have a great day! 👍🏻
Glad you liked it ZZ!
I scored it 2 years ago with the promo that included the nice M12 power source and I love it! The only thing that makes it better is a quick valve stem connector from Amazon that screws in the end 👌
You have the link?
People will complain about the 2 1/2-3 1/2 minutes it takes to fill up.. well enjoy driving 5 minutes out of your way just to get to a pump station. I know what route I’m taking. Badass little pump for what I neeed it for.
I got my a year or two back for free with the purchase of a two pack of M12 3xc battery I love it works for my needs
This is perfect for car tires, anything less than 60 psi, if you're trying to fill a semi tire you're gonna need the M18 air compressor for that
Glad to see those Toyota tundras still treating the VCG well after all these years. Thanks Vince for keeping it real even when it takes 3 tries
That thing is awesome i had it for a year and it gives you piece of mind
I got a couple of kits about 2 years ago. The kit It also included the M12 power source. I believe it was about $70 or $80. I got two one for my car and one for the wife's car. I couldn't believe the price considering the power source is about $49 on its own. I got very lucky that day.
"OR IF YOU'RE A RESELLER TELL ME TO MIND MY BUSINESS" "*LOOKS UP AND AWAY* LOL LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY
Everybody got to make a living! LOL
Works great for me. Keep it in each car. Good to top off lbs. Have to make sure to thread it and not gorilla. I think you have a return item there and exchange. Use with a 4ah and 6ah is quick enough. Consider if it's pumped up cold or the weather is too.
You should get a 9 amp hour battery on Amazon just for kicks and giggles and try it. Of course at your own tool expense. I like my after market M12 batteries.
I love mine. I have used a 6ah to fill up full trailer loads and does the trick!
This is great for topping off like you said and is compact for travel. No, it isn't fast, but still worth it. I run XC batteries with this. This thing lives in my truck.
M18 is going to be way faster, but is also 5x the size and 3.5x the cost (bare tool).
Why is it terrible? The charger works perfectly for me, all 3 of mine
This thing isn't junk. I have many, many Milwaukee tools and any time my tool nerd friends ask me what my most under rated tool is, I tell them the inflator, no question.
I baught mine for 56 bucks tool only a few years ago on special, I already had like 6 battery's
I just learned something about TH-cam that i never knew before thanks vince now when people point up and say their's a link i don't sit and wonder what your pointing up at 🤷
These used to be $80 tool only beginning of this year. Crazy they went up $20 normal price
Never had that air leak like that....love my M12 inflator and my M18 is awesome !
I'll not sure about that one.
I could use something like that. But I am glad to see it featured in a video. The more I think about it, I think I would just go with the larger 18V Milwaukee or 18V Metabo HPT battery compressor. That way there is no doubt that the job will get done. Thanks Vince for the video.
I got The M12 inflater. I like it. Set it and forget it fills your tire up. Pretty accurate too. Come on Vince maybe you got to hit the gym.
Would it be useful to blow water out of intricate metal parts after a sonic-cleaner bath?
It's a really nice compressor. But I think the Ridgid Digital inflator is the best one out there. You should check it out!
I have the same M12 inflator now almost a year now I use it every now and then I love it
Vince I been away for like a year...been in school for history and I’m about to finish my associates and transfer to university, keep the great content coming
Those work great!! We have 2 at our Auto Repair Shop and use them all the time.
We have one and it has come in handy a few times.
You probably had a little cross threading going on at first. It always takes me more than one attempt to form a seal because the threads are so fine and the angle is weird.
I love my inflator!
Very convenient for the right price 💯
Go Vince!
P. S. Although you don't get more power a 6ah will fill up all your tires, from flat, with no problem!
Both of my hands are up and that tool is not junk! Greats for bikes balls maybe not trucks
Nice to have but it’s a battery eater! Run a 6.0 just to make sure you can finish all four or six tires. Honestly Ryobi tire inflator is amazing. I use this mainly for line testing. Tires in a pinch.
I think this item is great. It may not be as fast as a air compressor but it gets the job done.
no need for cigarette lighter plug in and messing with short leads . i am van driver , try to inflate rear tyre without taking wheel off . this thing no problem . bit loud , very fast👍
Lil hint always go over a few psi cause some pressure will let out when taking it off the tire stem
Vince I have the Dewalt one. I LOVE it for my motorcycles and I also use to top off my vehicles, and motorcycle trailer tires. Dewalt seems a nicer than this one but thats just my observation..... 👍
Good deal it says $249 at my local store. Haven’t purchased it for the same reasons as Vince.
