I have this tool also as well as a whole herd of Milwaukee tools. The M18 battery is actually 18 volts, and the 12.0 on the side of that battery represents 12 Amp hours. That means it is capable of running something that pulls 12 amps for an hour. Excellent video, and yes as many people have said in the comments, this thing is a beast!
Little trick I learned with this compressor. If it’s not set to a target psi you can manually control the fill by pressing and holding the fill button. It’s great for very small incremental fills. Or trying to get something accurate. Like your air bags. There’s also an unlimited mode where I guess if you want to try and blow something up you could do that as well lol I believe take it out of target mode when it’s already filling in target mode does this unlimited mode
I have a small one that I use for my tires. I don't know how anybody lives without one of these in their trunk. Definitely one of those issues if you have to change a tire and your spare is low at the wrong time in the wrong place..You don't have to worry a bit. I wish those hoses instead of having to unscrew to take the hose off had a quick release..That would be so much easier! Thanks for sharing Robert! A great video.
Quick release connectors have the potential to break easier in my opinion. That may be why brands choose to use the screw on style. That and it's more compact/flush when storing.
Thanks for the video. I carry two of these for airing up my Power Wagon tires after going off road, so I can do two tires at a time. I'm back to full pressure on 4 tires in 10 minutes.
Still waiting for my local supplier in Ireland to get one in. An absolute gift if you own more than one car and your cars are spread all round the place. Great review btw
After having m12for two years, this m18 is like an inflator on steroids 😀 Most fun is when you try to inflate bicycle tire with it, feels like Nascar tire pit-stop, do it in 3 seconds))
My M12 compressor does the same thing with my air bags on my truck. Typically overshoots by about 5psi. I just set the target 5psi under what I want and it’s all good.
I have the M12 inflator and it's great. Got a crazy good deal on it. This is definitely the one you want for truck and large tires though. The M12 is better for cars or light truck tires I think. Main thing I wish they would have done for both is have some kind of quick chuck that doesn't lose so much air screwing and unscrewing. Minor nitpick though really. Also I'm glad I'm no the only one with a bunch of Subarus that sit on grass with flat tires, hahaha. I think we have the same illness.
The M18 is a beast. It is too big to be truly portable. The m5 outperforms all the small pumps is very inexpensive wile being small enough to be portable.
I just bought one of these - with a 5.0 battery. I only have 4 tires tho not 25! lol the 5.0 should be plenty to do my tires and 4 more for a friend. The two little ones I have for my drill will provide a bit of headroom just in case!
This inflator is currently free with the purchase of a Milwaukee starter kit at Home Depot. $200 for 2 5.0 batteries and a charger with this thrown in versus $180 for this by itself.
I keep one in my trunk at all times ! Also use it to fill air tanks on semi trucks with a homemade tool , i hate laying in dirt so i figured id make something and it worked !!! I use it with a 8.0ho and set it to 110 in a couple of minutes i can release the brakes . It cost me a pretty penny best make use of it .
You can get a little screw in quick release connector for that unit (I saw this in another review) It might be very useful to you. That is a spectacular performance, What a superb tool!
Actually, I heard that by law they have to give you free air even though there is a payment area on the front of the pump. Go in the gas station and ask, they turn it on for free!
I have the ryobi multi-purpose inflator, the one you set (I also have the less user friendly pull trigger one), and I'm happy with it's performance/speed, but I may look into this milwaukee one in the future. Not sure how much faster the Milwaukee is or how much more pressure it can pump up to, as I haven't compared the specs. Thanks for the upload!
Don't let the 12.0 battery fool you with the run time of this tool. That's a very expensive battery, and it's no wonder he was able to do so much with it.
@@michaelanderson5442 Yeah, it would be perfect for both my Subaru and my bikes when I’m out camping if it can seat a tubeless bike tire bead. I hate wasting co2s when I’m away from home.
@@jgalleg4 For seating new tires, Its a little slow at first but if you use plenty of tire sealant around the bead it's excellent. Soapy water is very effective as well. I have seated my bike tires around 10 times no problem.
That is impressive/ looks very fast, indeed, when compared to cigarette lighter plug-in compressors, or my DEWALT all in one compressor , jumpstarter, power source. That thing is pitifully slow pumping up tires.
I wonder if anyone has built a 1 gal tank compression tank for this. Also I was thinking once the warranty is done, connecting the internal input to an external battery or having it hooked up to battery clips.
How easy is it to also hook it up to a tank if I ever want to use a pneumatic tool? *it looks like harbor freight has cheap 5 gallon tanks I'm about to buy one just so I don't have to dig through storage for an old air compressor everytime I gotta top up the tires on my aging wheels lol. Maybe need to check them once a month.
This video would be much more useful using a battery that most people will actually already have. Not many folks are going to have $249 batteries. I’d like to know how many inflations I can get on a more reasonable battery
@@MrSubaru1387 maybe I misheard you. Sorry, that doesn't make this product less impressive! My point was that the longevity of the run time of this thing is awesome! When the run time of the 18v. Milwaukee vacuum is only 20 minutes. I'm totally going to buy this tire inflator. Thanks for the heads up!
Home Depot is giving this for free with a $300 purchase of 2 batteries of the size this video is showing with a charger. Pretty amazing deal since you need that battery anyway. 6/30/23

Get the m12 if u want something smaller, it goes up to 120psi, it may take longer but it’s also half the size of the m18 version

Thanks for the input. Been looking for an air up solution to rotate between my Colorado and wife's Gladiator.

17:18 man that truck is killer. I love my '06 Chevy 3500 dually! Just picked up the same inflator a couple days ago. Loving it so far.
That battery probably cost much more than the tool itself.
Depends if your just sticking in a 4/5.0 then same price but if you’re sticking in a 12.0 then yes that cost more than the tool
Can I stick in M18 CP 2.0?
Yes. Just won’t run long.
obvisouly those batteries are 250
Well if you buy 2 or 3 things that come with batteries you have batteries for everything
I just bought one of these for emergencies. Fills up my Prius no problem. Granted i only need 35psi but its perfect for me. Great tool

Do you pull the m18 with a small trailer on your bike?
@@fatboy19831 😆 not really, I did it in a garage. For the trail I have a hand pump ))
Appreciated your test - helps make the decision before buying. Well done. Cheers!!

Great to see how well they work, picked one up on a package deal, bought two batteries with charger and got the inflator for free.
The best review I've seen so far you actually sold it to me
So much better than dragging out my compressor, extension cord, air line etc. Can't be beat.
I bought this last August and all I gotta say is: No more paying $1 for air at the gas station. This thing's a BEAST
paying for air at the gas station?? rofl only in the US of A lol
@@gooblin1982 Are pay air compressors really only in the US?
Thanks for the testing, makes me feel better about the tool I am about to purchase.
Just picked one up , hoping to air up some low semi tires ! This video instilled confidence

I have the m12 inflater also. I added quick chuck that I found on Amozon
@@lifeontheedge357 Good call. I'll look!
I have a quick chuck on mine as well
Fantastic job on this video! 👍
The M18 is a beast. It is too big to be truly portable. The m5 outperforms all the small pumps is very inexpensive wile being small enough to be portable.
I bought one today and it’s amazing how far I could push it even on a 4 ah battery.
Really a great thing to have if you have M18 batteries.

Those little Air compressors are nice, since air isn't free anymore. I have had several over the years.
Actually, I heard that by law they have to give you free air even though there is a payment area on the front of the pump.
Go in the gas station and ask, they turn it on for free!
nice that that added this. though i still like my m12.

Definitely my next M18 purchase. 🤘🏻
I'll be that guy: I am much too satisfied watching time lapses of tires being filled.
My neighbor has one and you better believe what I’m asking my wife for Christmas
I love mine, I only have the 5.0 batteries but it does well with those too. 👍
That thing absolutely destroys my tire inflator
That little inflator is a work horse.
💯
Milwaukee makes about 3 different ones of these. You sold me. This is the one I want.
The tool is amazing, but a lot of what he was able to show on camera was because of that M18 12.0 battery..
Great overall tool, but doesn't do well in the cold.
Thx for the video I just bought the same air pump . But it’s not a 12volt bat it’s a 18v bat .
Great review, I really like this inflator but I can't afford buying it with this price tag, I am still looking for a good deal to justify buying it.
napa has it for 135 right now
@@skinner1790 yup just ordered one yesterday. Great deal
How long does it take for the battery to be fully charged? thank you
How annoying was threading the hose on and off all the tires?
Just looking at getting this cause I have the m12 and love it but does take longer to do 5 psi difference.gonna pull the trigger now thanks man.
Can it connect to the rear duals??
I got one. It’s rad.
That's a hell of a battery
It has a Presta adapter too? I wonder if it can seat tubeless bicycle tires.
Same question, need a big compressor for tubeless gravel tires.
I have the M12 compressor with the same Presta chuck adapter and it works flawlessly for pumping up my bike tires.
@@michaelanderson5442 Yeah, it would be perfect for both my Subaru and my bikes when I’m out camping if it can seat a tubeless bike tire bead. I hate wasting co2s when I’m away from home.

Will it mess up in my truck during the summer? I live in Arizona 😅
Nice testing 😅
I wonder how the Makita xgt inflator compares to the milwaukee
XGT, have to hold a trigger, and sounds way slower.
I wonder if anyone has built a 1 gal tank compression tank for this. Also I was thinking once the warranty is done, connecting the internal input to an external battery or having it hooked up to battery clips.
Milwaukee already makes an m18 compressor tank, probably uses the same compressor too.
Would be cool to have a comparo with the DeWalt version.
I've used the Dewalt and it is a great inflator, but this one is about 3 times as fast.
Great video as always. Question off topic though on your opinion what do you think of the purolator oil filters I heard they are made by WIX
Hey man
Awesome tool!
What are your plans with the old tool truck?
Likely selling. Tool truck idea has kinda gone out the window at this point.
Отличный аппарат! Тоже таким пользуюсь!
How many lbs air in each tire
Does the $179 price include the battery & charger?
No
No, bare tool only.
great torture test..........I spy Patches!
How easy is it to also hook it up to a tank if I ever want to use a pneumatic tool? *it looks like harbor freight has cheap 5 gallon tanks
I'm about to buy one just so I don't have to dig through storage for an old air compressor everytime I gotta top up the tires on my aging wheels lol.
Maybe need to check them once a month.
The battery is 18V and NOT the 12V that you kept saying throughout the entire video. That’s actually an important “boring” spec!
This video would be much more useful using a battery that most people will actually already have. Not many folks are going to have $249 batteries. I’d like to know how many inflations I can get on a more reasonable battery
That's impressive,but I thought the Milwaukee M18's were 18v., not 12v.?
