I bought the milwaukee. I needed air in a small 10 inch tire. It needed to go from 15 psi to 50 psi. I was absolutely shocked! It took 5 seconds. Not a typo. FIVE seconds! It's a small tire, but that was totally unexpected. I get it if you don't believe that, so do yourself a favor and buy this inflator and test it yourself. Think I'm going to let air out of something and test some more.🤙
Snap-On makes great tools. The exception, is their battery powered tools. They CAN'T compete with Milwaukee on performance, warranty and especially price.
I ordered my Milwaukee m18 inflator as a kit for 199. Homedepot canceled my batteries and charger. But, kept my inflator for 94 dollars. I'll take it. 😉
What? Damn, u're lucky. Just ordered one from Amazon. What batteries did u end up going with? I haven't got the battery and was wondering what the xc6 or 8. TIA.
I just bought the Milwaukee and am waiting for it to be delivered. I will only use it at home to top off tires. I have an 12 volts inflator that connects directly to my car battery and draws up to 40amp current, and it can complete the top off you did from 10 to 38 psi for about 1 minute. I also do not want to keep an M18 battery in my car for the rare occasions of flat tires since the battery will degrade quickly in extreme cold and heat.
I have the m12 and the m18 and use them often. I was surprised the Snapon was only 269$. Snapon tools may be larger but they leave your wallet smaller. I got the m18 off the web for 139$
Milwaukee, and as an electrician, Klein have both stepped up their games amazingly the last 5 years. Phased out almost all of my DeWalt stuff some time ago. Innovation, no one's keeping up with Milwaukee right now
Just did a the same comparison at work today. Figured the guts inside would be the same, however that is a big no. Airing up 235/80 16 tires from 35# to 65#. The Milwaukee was able to inflate 3 tires to the Snapon’s 1 tire. With the Milwaukee finished with the 3 and Snappy only at 60lbs. So sad.
Very useful, I am thinking about buying one and have to choose between these two, I have both makes of tools and batteries so it is great to see which one was faster and smaller !
Snap-on is high priced on everything, including mechanics hand tools, the only way they survive is a lot of their tools are sold on credit. Their hand tools are great though. Great video!
I just bought a 2pack of M18 batteries, one 6ah and one 8ah and it came with a free M18 tool. I chose the inflator. Everything all together cost $279 at Home Depot. Great deal in my opinion. I also bought an adapter to convert the screw on hose end to the fold down connector type thats on the snap on one in the video. It cost about $10 on amazon
Great review and some good comparisons... A light would be nice to have but for a hundred dollars cheap I'll use my Iphone flashlight if ever needed. I ordered a Milwaukee a few days ago. Can't wait to check it out....I got it for free from buy two M-18 batteries get the compressor free at Northern tool and also 20% off sale.
For a mobile unit, (onboard air), it’s more cost effective to hook up a 12v air horn compressor with air horn tank… Note: The air horns are optional but are nice to have 👍🏻You can add as many tanks as needed if you have the space…
Except for if you switch vehicles a lot. Also cheapest 12c compressor you can get is $100 then you have ru air lines and mount a tank with a pressure regulator and a some type of compressor cut off switch. Min $200 for an air horn set up. While i just bought the Milwaukee comprefrom home Depot with two battand a charger for $149
It’s hard to compare a product that came out over 5 years ago with one that is new to the market at time of this recording. You’d expect the way newer tool to be better just based off of how fast power tools are improving year after year. I have neither but I know I’ve seen that Snap-On around for many years now and I’d be shocked if they weren’t working on an updated unit now that they released a handheld inflator.
Would be great if people commented on the best air hose to tire valve attachment upgrade for the Milwaukee. Great review... I esp liked the info on it fitting in the RAMbox. It would be so easy for Milwaukee to add a couple of USBs and lights. Milwaukee should provide the better hose end too and a deflator like the Makita has. They could make it the best inflator too for air mattresses and truck air bags etc. This would increase recreational sales. Adding 12 volts would be good too, as would plug for 120V AC. All that said the 20/40 duty cycle should be improved, the 20 min beinig fine, but the 40 min cool down is a bit too much.
These guy's have "got you by the batteries" most people stick to brand because of batteries/chargers etc. would you go out and buy the snap on inflator if it won the test if you already had a range of Milwaukee tools and batteries?

Good review but I must say, comparing a year old snap-on versus a new Milwaukee isn't fair.....But, I've had my snap-on compressor for 4 years now, worked great for the first year or so, only using it a few times a year as it stays at my house, but now it won't build air more than 45 psi. I used to be able to fill my truck tires at 80 psi, but not anymore. Looks like it's time I try the Milwaukee.
@@patty109109 I'm glad you replied. After I made this comment I knew I mistyped but didn't know where I replied to it. Yeah the tool by itself is 149 and the bundle is $199 which is also the same price as a two 5amp batteries and charger
@@tracytillett Still going on just snagged me the deal. Though they don't have the inflator available for shipping. So you'll have to find a local store with it in stock.
I like the insignificant advantages that Snap On has over Milwaukee. USB ports Closed door for accessories Clamp style connector One day, Milwaukee will release a Fuel inflator, and it will be awesome.
What's up with videos you never post anything and then out of no where you post a video you can't post every 6 mouth's and expect to get followers going that. Like the video's hi just to long in from one video to the next
I know, with life changing so much I’ve only been able to put out one a month for a while. The new property takes LOTS of upkeep and repair. And now I’m finally back to a place where I can do some more videos, so looking forward to it.
Yup, because I always want to carry my pancake compressor, and my generator to power it on the side of the road, out in the field, or camping where there is no power...

I have the Milwaukee, it works really well.
Hello Kyle. Both Snap-on air compresser is nice. The Milwaukee air compresser is better.
I have the Milwaukee inflator and love it.
Same here, great tool to have.

If snapon doesn’t have a newer unit it’s a fair comparison.
You can get a quick adapter conversion easilu
Hi great comparison buddy.if you ar stranded on the side of the Motorway/Rd the db of the tool wouldn't matter.... thanks for your help 👍
Can we get latch style adapter for Milwaukee? I’d prefer that since it’s more efficient
LocknFlate makes a dandy one. Instant on and back with no loss of air pressure.
@@garymeyer3294 that’s the exact one I found too and I bought it. Definitely worth it! 👍
I found a quick connect chuck at Princess Auto for 12 bucks.

The best would be with the battery platform you have already
Not when the inflator is 2x-3x faster than the one you already own!
You could buy the Milwaukee with batteries and charger for less than the snap-on.
I really don't believe this saying anyone.
Be nice with a built in jack and also to remove wheel lugs with air gun
Snapon. All day.
Snap on can’t compete with the #1 MILWAUKEE 💯💯

What m18 battery were you usuing?
A 5.0ah
@Rustbelt Mechanic sweet video i love milwaukee :). If you use a high output 6.0ah it works faster at least it does in mine. Have a great day.
These guy's have "got you by the batteries" most people stick to brand because of batteries/chargers etc. would you go out and buy the snap on inflator if it won the test if you already had a range of Milwaukee tools and batteries?
you can buy cordless adaptors to use between platforms for pretty much anything now

Snerp-On overrated. Milwaukee is the GOAT
Home Depot Black Friday 2024 by 2 5amp hour batteries for 199.90 comes with a charger get a free M18 inflator
Presets could be better if you could name them. M1< which car is that???
Price wise milwaukee for me i can store it on my glove compartment lol..
Snap on is way too much money, particularly since it’s not also 12v and 110 capable.
Milwalkee is the 1.
Note to all portable tire inflater makers (except Snap On) the screw on type to hook to your valve stem, SUCK. Do better.
Snap on makes the best sockets, wrenches, etc. But their power tools are trash
Way too slow

Both suck, just use an air compressor.
Air compressor is heavy and have to drag air hoses out if out there away.
Yup, because I always want to carry my pancake compressor, and my generator to power it on the side of the road, out in the field, or camping where there is no power...
Honda guy lives at the shop...
This is an air compressor with the tank.
Fill the tire directly or fill the tank then the tire.
I have air compressor. I don't want to drive my car to it with flat tire.
