Nice portable air compressors that are cordless. I have a Porter Cable electric plug in pancake style air compressor that works great, that I much prefer over the cordless ones. It weighs around 25 pounds and it has a larger 3 gallon air tank than the cordless ones you demonstrated. With mine no need to worry about charging batteries because to charge the batteries requires an electrical source anyway. It only takes about 2 minutes to fill its 3 gallon air tank to 124 psi. I can unplug the power source and take it to the car to pump up tires or remove lug nuts easily. Mine cost a little over $100.00. It can still do the same things the cordless models can do. With a cordless air compressor, I would not feel confident runing a nail gun with. Be very careful with that Harbor Freight air impact gun. A classmate bought one of those for our automotive class at school. He was using it to rotate tires on a Ford F150 when it suddenly exploded in his face. He had to undergo 5 facial reconstructive surgeries and have 5 metal plates put in his skull and cheek bone to rebuild his face. The school paid for his hospital bills. Now the school will no longer allow students to use their own air tools in class anymore.
Sounds like the Milwaukee needs wheels to cart it around. These are another item like the radio that would be nice to be able to plug in also and charge or just go portable with the battery. Would be cool if they came up with a system of interchangeable cords like cell phones.
It is a great design that there's a hood over the button on the DeWalt because when you're in constructions stuff fall on it the hose walking around the corner you can accidentally turn off the Milwaukee
For the battery install on the Milwaukee, you could turn the compressor on it's side, then the battery is a drop in style. I just bought the Milwaukee compressor today, 23-10-17, and now waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for the video.
@@radozeman Looking forward to getting it. Will be nice to not to have to bring out the large compressor each time I have a small job to do. It's reviews like yours that make it easy to chose which items to buy. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's much appreciated.
I have to go with milwaukee not because I'm a wacky fan but im just too much invested in milwaukee already both m18 and m12 line. Dewalt compressor does look nice though and much more compact
Seems like the dewalt is the way to go. I personally couldn't justify the price of the Milwaukee for a portable compressor. Handy for filling flats etc but still a limited use item otherwise to me compared to a corded one. Did you buy one or just testing?
I've got the DeWalt and the Milwaukee is someone else that I borrowed for this video. The Milwaukee is really quite, which is nice, but for the price? Eh, I think I'd go with the DeWalt as well or in my case stick with the DeWalt.
They actually have similar tank fill times, considering the dewalt tand is 25% bigger and its fill time is 25% longer.
Its not fair 😢 @ 16:16 You gave milwaukee a good recovery time.

Not fair on the impact wrench when you did the DeWalt it was missing two bars in the battery where the Milwaukee was full battery
Nice comparison. Is that truck on a jack or jack stand?

Good point, would have nice if they made the hood a little bigger

Very nice! Its pricey and heavy, but sure is quiet!

Can that fit a extra large toughsystem box? The one without wheels
Seems like it would

Yep makes sense if the batteries already for Milwaukee

Which one if I may ask?!

I like the dewalt a lot cheaper and not bulky the Milwaukee is also hard to carry.
Dewalt without battery is $219.00. Tool only. Just bought one 8/7/23.
