M18, Larger Makita, Dewalt, 20V Skil, Craftsman, Black & Decker, larger Bauer and Ryobi
Will be tested in the same manner in a upcoming video, in a few weeks!
Agree. These are best for a car tire. Buddy of mine had issues with two of those Kobalt inflaters. Both worked great when new! But after a few years and several uses, each one konked out on him. He refused to buy a 3rd one.
I keep that Ryobi in my car. Along with one of the company's larger capacity batteries, and a charger. All 3 fit well inside a mechanic's tool-bag. The inflater? Loud! Takes a while to inflate a flat. Hold down the button the entire time. Shakes a bit in hand. Grip is only comfortable if you wear XL-sized gloves. But, budget inflater that just works. Saved me from getting stranded handful of occasions in the last 4 or 5 years. Last time, my aluminum rim was damaged. Bent inward, and a sharp point had penetrated the tire. Couldn't see it from the outside. With the rim jammed up against the tire, I had an extremely slow leak. Used my Ryobi. Two days later had to use it again. Used it a total of three times like that until I got it to a garage. That Ryobi more than paid for itself already.
Though at the time I knew nothing about Ridgid. Having a non-battery option of inflating a low tire is a huge plus! If I didn't already own the Ryobi, I'd buy the Ridgid in a heart-beat.
Interesting info on the Kobalt. Yeah the Ridgid having battery and 12v option is nice, it’s in my work truck.
Just bought the Ridgid and should have bought it years ago. Top off tires fast and makes it easy for motorcycles also. Verified the PSI with an expensive PSI gauge and the Ridgid was spot on every time.
Thank you for the video! I have the Milwaukee M12 inflator and have no issues for the past 3 years. Very happy with it and it is simple to use. Please note that it works best with 3.0 battery & up.
No problem!
Nice, yeah you could defiantly see better performance when I switched from 2ah to 4ah.
I've got the older model ryobi with the analog gauge and it's been a great tool. It inflates car tires no problem and excellent for bikes and lawnmowers. One of the last ryobi tools I still use since switching to Milwaukee.
Yep, been using the Ryobi version my self for about 3 years now
the lighter plug in adapter is a great idea. especially for a cordless pump you cary in the car. Also keep in mind Ryobi has a 9 amp +one battery on the market
Man that Ridgid sounds great with those features.I have the small Ryobi in this video and the bigger Ryobi as well. I like them both, but they're not accurate. So, it's interesting you gave decent accuracy with that Ryobi. One thing to add to your chart might be the accuracy you recorded.
Interesting, I only found them to be off maybe 1-2 PSI when comparing the tool to the gauge. When I test the bigger Ryobi I will add PSI accuracy on a chart. Thanks!
went with the rigid! i really appreciate your concluding statement at the end. i wanted to get to makita to stay on the same platform but seems like the cost and performance really don't stack up against the rigid/others. for the same price the rigid comes with the battery and the charger. thanks!
Yep even the second gen Makita sadly has a major flaw in my book, definitely for the $$$ you shouldn’t have to hold the trigger!
Thanks!
Excellent video! Thank you so much. I really appreciate this video. Thank you sir.
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
I have the Ridgid and Ryobi. Both work great. But the Ridgid has really good features that make it a must have if you have Ridgid batteries.
Yep I have had the Ryobi for years and it gets used quite a bit, I bought another one to keep this test as fair as posible, really cant beat it for the price.
I'm really impressed with this Ridgid, never expected it to out perform the rest.
Like you said the features really make this tool, really easy to adjust desired PSI quick unlike the rest.
Sounds good! I just bought Ridgid!💪💪💪
Nice!
Thank you for making a non-biased video! I just got done watching another RUclips video where they compared this rigid with a 2ah battery versus the Milwaukee 18 volt with an 8AH battery and it only beat the rigid by a minute. This was a much more accurate. The difference between the 2 and 4ah was a minute and that other guys RUclips video the Milwaukee beat it by a minute so if everything between the two channels is correct the rigid would be almost exactly the same as that big Milwaukee with the way bigger battery and the Ridgid only using the 4ah....... AND WAY SMALLER.
No problem! Yeah at the end of the day, to me its about which has the highest performance vs the cost. I don't care what the name is on the side of the tool. I pay for all of the tools I test unlike others.
You bring up a very valid point no one seem to talk about on YT and that is the battery's used in testing. Like the tools they are not all equal.
Im have started testing battery's on their own. That way I know which one is going to provide the highest voltage under heavy load.
I have the Ridgid but used Makita battery since I have lots of LXT batteries. I used a Ridgid to Makita battery adapter.
Yep defiantly think the Ridgid is the better value.
Awesome review!
Thanks!
Thanks for a great video
No Problem!
Interesting how that Rigid unit out performs the rest by quite a large margin. I don't see many of their tools over here in the UK. You had the cheap version from Ryobi, they do a larger unit with a similar price tag to Milwaukee.
Yeah I wasn't expecting that, really thought the M12 would win..
I plan to test the bigger Ryobi against the new M18.
When Ridgid first released power tools they took market share, but then over the years they only made small changes/didnt release new tools.
Now they are defiantly trying to take back market share once again.
Ridgid may be called AEG in Europe.
AEG 18V High Pressure Inflator BK 18C.
Apparently the AEG model does not include a 12-Volt Vehicle Power Cord.
Nice comparison, it's a no-brainer when you consider RIDGID's 'lifetime warranty' upon registration along with-it being hybrid. I do wish their unit included a light though. Not only for safety if needed on the roadside but for visibly at night.
Yep that’s a very good point they should have added a led.
Picked up the Bauer cuz I was tired of dragging an extension cord n hose out to fill up a tractor tire. Since used it car. Motorcycle and 10 ply tire.
Thanks to this damn tool I now have 5 batteries and the glue gun n jig saw. Happy with all
Yeah lot better then running an extension cord out or carrying an air tank around.
That glue gun is nice!
@@Tools-Tested already went thru one bag of sticks. Once not stuck to an outlet its amazing how many excuses you'll make up to use the thing lol
Hey mate, i am a black & yellow guy, I didn't see that among those... but I'll make that rigid work with dewalt batteries. I've already modified some rigid tools
Hi, I did test the dewalt one in ruclips.net/video/5XQ39qczfmg/видео.html video, nice unit but pricy.
I love my ridgid
You should check out the upgraded Makita 18v inflator and the 40v XGT inflator. My only issue with the Makita inflators is they didn’t include a trigger lock?!?!?!? I have the M18 inflator and it’s pretty impressive.
Yeah I plan on testing it in a few weeks against the larger ones on the market.
Yeah probably some legal BS, which is odd seeing the cordless heat gun has a trigger lock.....
Yeah I cant wait to put the new 18 Makita up against the M18!
I’m a Makita fan but could not bear to shell out over $100 as a lesser capable tool than Ridgid that cost me only $60 (on sale). So I don’t have to buy a Ridgid battery, I bought a Ridgid to Makita battery adapter.
Yeah, I have the M12. I keep it behind the seat with a 4AH battery.
Tool only, they have jump up 1/3rd the cost from when I got mine. More for older tech right?
Def will pull you out of a roadside bind. But, yeah, smoke em if you got em. Time wise.
If I had to do again, it would be the Craftsman three volt system.
Yep can defiantly get you out of a bind, seems like everything just keeps going up.
Did you run the Ridgid 12V test with a bare battery, a battery in a car with the engine running or a battery in a car with the ignition off?
I’ve noticed the 12V plug inflator(s) that came with my car runs a lot faster with the engine running.
This was with the battery in the vehicle, ignition off. You are correct it would have higher performance with the car running, because the voltage should jump from 12 to 14v.
When I test the larger ones in a few weeks, im going to test this one again with the car running.
I regularly fill up cars, trucks, ag, earthmoving tyres etc. Of all the tools I really don't know how to compare, big compressors, small, big tyres, high pressures, low - LOTS of variables
Definitely seems like all of these are stinkers though, except maybe the Ridgid.
I wonder if they all have thermal cut off and at what temp/time like ordinary tyre inflators and also how accurate the gauges are, I find it annoying how some inflators and handheld gauges can be wildly inaccurate.
Yeah these are more DIY, I don't think any have thermal protection. Most of them have a stated duty cycle listed on the tool.
From my testing most were a few PSI off.
I've had the analog ryobi for a couple years. It was great until I filled 4 tires on a car that's been sitting a few years. I was trying to beat a storm coming in and didn't give it any cool down time. Since then it only works for about a minute and definitely not at full capacity
Yep that's the only drawback, its about one tire and then wait 5mins for it to cool down. I have an older one as well and have been using it for years, fyi they also don't like rain. Was inflating a tire and it was "lightly" showers and now the display dousing work...
Makita has a new version of the 18V inflator that's way faster. Came out earlier this year
Yeah I plan on testing it in a few weeks against the larger ones on the market.
I'm not in the ridgid ecosystem, currently have Milwaukee and Ryobi batteries. Just ordered the RIDGID
18V with 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger. Good pickup? It was $99. I'm sure I might pickup a rigid bare tool in the future
Yeah it’s a good pick, you might add a 4ah down the road to gain longer run time, but most ridgid tools are a good value imo.
Pass on anything Hart for me.
You should have included the new Milwaukee M18 inflator. It would have probably won hands down.
Soon! M18 is in the background, originally was going to then decided it was too many for one video.
In a few weeks I will test the bigger inflators, M18 vs Dewalt, Craftsman, Bauer, Skil (20v) and Ryobi.
@@Tools-Tested hart dual inflator?
I would hope so at three times the cost....
Great video! Is there a reason why you did not include the latest Makita inflator which better than the one in the video ?
Thanks!, I didn't know they had an updated version....
I was going off of what Home Depot sells.
I will have to buy it and do an update video.
Thanks for the info!
@@Tools-Tested looking foward to see this updated version!
Does WORX compare to any of these as most of my other tools are WORX and been debating about what inflator to get?
I can’t really say without buying and testing it, it looks totally different so I don’t think any of these have the same internals of the work
I need an inflator to take 4 33” light duty truck tires from 20 psi to 35 psi in one duty cycle, do you think the Ridgid can do it? Or maybe the M12 or Skil would be better for my purposes?
I think all 3 would be about the same in performance wise and could handle it, the Ridgid would be better but others have commented issues with the plastic couplers.
My Ridgid with a 4ah batt inflated 4 2004 Silverado 2500hd tires from 30-40 psi to 65. Battery ran out on the spare
@@kcr357 did you have to stop every 5 minutes for it to cool down?
Kobalt has a 40v version as well
Yeah I need to test it and the Makita 40V.
Why didnt you use the new 18v pomp from makita?
Larger unit, will be in the test with M18, larger Ryobi etc etc
Dewalt wasn't included because?
Larger unit, will be in the test with M18, larger Makita Ryobi etc etc
Excellent review. Also, I really appreciate also the country of origin. I prefer not to buy items made in China. China is a U.S. adversary... why would we support them?
Thanks! no problem, yeah its defiantly a factor when buying IMO.
Did you happen to check the accuracy of each inflator?
Max deviation was 2 PSI, most were right on or 1 one off.
Tbf that ryobi is like a 8 year old model and like 37$ compared to the brand new makita for 120$
Yep exactly, crazy Makita wants that much for it. I can maybe understand the grease gun, but this air pump has similar performance to that Ryobi….
That model Makita is trash, no one would buy that one! The larger higher spec one is awesome. Tools and Stuff has a great comparison video
Yeah the performance is bad for $120 dollars!!!
Im going to test the new one against the M18 in a upcoming video.
I love my ridgid
Yep its a good choice.
