    In this video I compare the specifications of the M18 Inflator and M18 Compressor. Then I put them head to head in a weigh off, loudness test, and last but not least a tire filling race.
    I give you my honest opinion of both units.
    Which one is best for you? Watch and see. Here we go!
    Stay tuned until the end of the video. I thank one of my new RUclips subscribers. It might be you.

  • @mediocreman2
    @mediocreman2 2 года назад +22

    One thing not mentioned is duty cycle. The compressor can be run as long as you have batteries. The inflator can go for 20 minutes and then needs a 40 minute rest. That's not bad, considering you'll probably get all 4 tires on a car done in 20 minutes. For comparison, the Ryobi P747 does 5 on and 5 off.

      I appreciate your feedback. I always drain it. My thought process was that you would start filling it as soon as you got it from where it was stored. It would be full by the time you got to the flat. Another viewer mentioned something similar. I timed it from empty and it filled same tire in 2min 20sec.

    • @renski8976
      @renski8976 2 года назад +1

      I can see where you're coming from, but I think it makes sense to test with it already filled. You get more information testing that way than if you had to fill the tank for like a minute beforehand... Just add the tank fill time to the existing one. Shaner's test really shows that having more volume really can impact the speed.
      Either way, if you're just pumping tires, the inflator probably is the way to go. It's easy and simple, you don't need to check the pressure yourself and you don't need to hold the chuck on the stem. (Especially if you are weary of those trailer tires that require 80 psi and you don't want to be near them while they are pumping up.)
      If you want something more versatile and don't mind the weight and the extra space needed to store/move it. The air compressor is pretty awesome. If you're a carpenter you can use tons of tools from it.

      No, it's not cheating. It's a benefit of going with a compressor versus Inflator.
      Do you remove the attributes that are seen as a negative for the compressor such as size, weight etc? Of course not. This was a comparison between these two Milwaukee tools.
      The tank is designed to hold the air and has a relief valve in the event it became over pressurized. The only inherent problem would be humidity. Quit trying to make a case for a tool by complaining. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. That's life Steve.

    I have an M18 inflator which I leave in my truck. It's perfect for walking around my truck or trailer and topping off air when needed as well as making quick and easy pressure adjustments to airbag hitches and helper springs. The battery lasts seemingly forever and with a LockNFlate air chuck, I can set the pressure and quickly attach and detach the air chuck. Exactly what I wanted. The small size makes storing it under the back seat a non-issue.

    So which one of this two tools consumes after 15 mins +/- the most battery juice ? The compressor is of course more useful for many applications have you got to the auto shut down max time out I believe is 20mins or it might depend on temperature too which is a safety feature but that might suck if your working and can use the compressor but also gives time to recharge battery 😅 but I liked you video I was also wonder which one was more convincing at some point thank you .

    • @shanersmechaniclife3164
      @shanersmechaniclife3164  Год назад +1

      Thank you for your feedback and comment. The compressor uses batteries more quickly, so if you are planning on running it lots have a couple batteries ready. I found the compressor more convincing because I use it for more than just airing up tires. Like blowing stuff off and light air tools.

      @@shanersmechaniclife3164 good to know, I assumed the inflator would be worse, since the compressor is brushless. Its a good thing they made the compressor brushless, or it would be noticeably worse, but I'm betting time differences favor the compressor more at higher pressures, like 80 or 100 psi.

    This is a dumb question but just curious because I think I would use the inflator for 99.9% of the tasks around the house. I don't have any air tools and I would use the inflator for car tires, bike tires, air mattresses etc. That being said, there are times where I could use some "compressed" air to clean out/dry off parts/tools etc. Can you set the inflator to some arbitrary PSI value and briefly use it to blow off dust/dirt/debris?

    • @thenovice129
      @thenovice129 Год назад

      The inflator doesn't work for blowing dust or debris around. It's just little puffs of air from the open end of the hose. You would need the compressor with its stored volume of air for that.
