Currently unavailable after 50 minutes off your video 😒
I guess I got in just in time. With the code, my total purchase was $6 less than my Kickstarter super-early-bird pledge.
@@Paladin_Strategic i will keep on eye
by the way excellent video
i use the green slime brand cordless inflator lithium ion battery powered, at 90 degrees summer heat inflating for 10 mins nonstop gets barely warm. will get hot around 15 mins in summer heat conditions. cost $70 dollars.
Thanks for that code. The extra 15 off made me get it.
PSA : to avoid burning out your pump , use for 8 minutes, off for 5 mins, etc. The machine will last for years.
I remember when "service" stations took that notion seriously and had free air pumps. You didn't even have to buy any gas from them, though I usually did just to be nice. When they started charging, I bought my own from Sears.
Charging for air?, seriously?
Which country is this?
Free air+Sears=Boomer
@@Eric_In_SF Rude
Truck stops have free air in truck parking area while up front you have to pay.
Where in the world do fuel stations do not have free air? Seriously...
Ok, I googled it. Even in my home country Germany they began to charge for air around 10 years ago. There are still some stations with free air though
In the "third world" where I live this is unknown. We even do still have fuel station attendants
Nice review! This looks like a great option for taking to the race track for a weekend, where you’re constantly checking and tweaking tire pressures. Small, light, easy to pack and easy to pass around the paddock to friends.
I have a 12V digital inflater which just plugs in the 12V socket of the car.
Its pretty quick and will run for hours off the car battery.
It only cost £10.
The battery ones are slightly quicker to set up but I went for a 12V one because you know the cordless one will be flat when you need to use it. They also take a long time to charge up if you find it's low on power. I got a 12V one for £30 that has a preset and stores it between uses so you don't need to set it each time.
My 12 volt one takes forever on a car tire.
@@digitalclips slow !!!!!!!
I have a manual air pump. I can last forever and I'm cordless and don't need charging.
I just got one, and love it, its not super loud, and love being able screw the hose onto the valve stem, and that the display shows the current pressure, it is already set to 35 PSI out of the box. Got to use it today, works great
I am not worried about inflating tires that are completely flat, that rarely happens. I am not concerned if this inflator can accurately measure pressure, I have a pressure gauge that I always use. I also don't need a light. All I care about is that this device can top off the air in my tires at a reasonable speed so I don't have to drive down to my compressor and get out my air hose to fill our tires, that I can bring it on trips, and that 10 years from now it will still work. I think I want one.
I'd seen emails about this recently, and was curious...so it's nice seeing the video pop up. I didn't catch any mention of how loud it is, though...some of them can be a ridiculous level.
I use the 12v cigarette port and the harbor freight inflator. Works like a charm. Everyone should also learn how to plug their tires too since cars don't come with spares anymore.
Thank you for this review - I almost pulled the trigger when I could have gotten one of these for $59 on sale but didn't know if it was going to be robust enough for my use. I have 4 bikes one of which is a fat tire that is a monster to fill by hand. At home I have a compressor but on the road all I carry is a co2 inflator - fun fact - it takes 8 to 10 - 12 grain co2 cartridges to fill one of these tires all the way so the one or two I carry is only enough to get me somewhere with an air pump. This little bad boy, while a bit more expensive than the $59 I could have spent looks to be right on the money for me. My tires are always needing air on one bike or another and this would be a great little tool to add to the pile.
You think you have problems. I tried CO2 cartridges with my motorcycle, thought ten would be enough and ended up having to look for a station on a half inflated tire. This power inflator here seems to be the answer to my prayers.
This may be a feasible option if you're looking so save space. I currently carry around a Ryobi inflator/deflator in my off-road gear. That works well for me, and it's very accurate. The last time I used re-filled three of my tires PSI were spot on, while on was .5lbs lighter. One battery is way more than enough for a trip, but I still take an extra one or two with me.
Which Ryobi inflator did you use?
I have one and love it. I can keep my damn money in my pocket. Who wants to pay $2.00 for air. Great device.
This thing looks great. For those people concerned about the digital gauges being off by a lb or 2. This is often because in these little units get red hot and by the time they’re half way through a tire and the air expands cause it’s red hot.
Just bought it! Thank you for convincing me.
Thank you for this content it really helps a lot.
Really good video. Freezing temps here, I need to fill my tires.
It wasn't tested on my ego and that needs to be inflated.
Good review and I seen many of these types of devices and I do wonder as most of them over inflated because as you released a bit of air escaped sort of compensate for the air pressure released when I tested with a different pressure reader it was set to the pressure I set.
And yet another thing gets added to my Amazon wishlist because of this channel
Just got mine the other day - I like it .
Just ordered. thanks!
Looks nice but going to half charge after one inflation means that the claim that it can inflate 4 fully deflated tires on one charge is unlikely. Still, it seems to be a nice unit.
Nobody has four flat tires at once and if they do, they have bigger problems than needing a tire inflator. So it doesn't matter.
@@averageoutdoorsman9342 It does matter, a lot actually. It can only do half as much, and that's with a brand new battery. It's not going to have a usable battery 300 days out either, so that's another lie.
@@averageoutdoorsman9342 True, but if they are making the claim then we can say with reasonable certainty that it is not so.
Depends on the size of the tires and also on the required pressure for the tires. I don't see that claim on their site but it says it runs for 40 minutes of pumping. I use a corded one plugged into the cigarette lighter power port but the cord isn't long enough to get my trailer tiresso a cordless one could be useful. The tires are always partially inflated anyway. Also my trailer tires have much higher PSI setting and this one goes higher than the other two I have so maybe it slows down less at higher pressures.
It’s for people who check their tire pressures regularly. It’s not designed to inflate four tires. Who has four flat tires and expects a pocket inflater to do the job. Let’s dig a little deeper why do you have four flat tires? Also he is inflating a pretty big wheel ugggh people. Seems like a great product. That would take little no space to store
Thank you for your review and code. I just ordered one
Very welcome, I think you will like it a lot. Mine is in my glove box already. The size is awesome
Solid gift and review. $85 is a deal as time is money! 👍🏼
I have a $15 analog tire inflator from a chain store that works very well plugged into the cigar socket, a bit noisy but it does the job. You can get to a safer place to change the wheel or insert a plug, but even get home if you are not too far away.
Excellent video :) :) All the right enough nice and fast!
Thank you very much!
Perfect idea! Nice finished garage floor 2.
I appreciate that. I did that floor with epoxy coat floors 14 years ago, sadly some got chipped by equipment hitting the floor, but it was a great investment and has never peeled from tires.
This is a very useful tool
I have one. It will not top off my tire. I usually have my tires inflated to 36 psi.(which = 2.50 bar) Right now they are at 32psi. It doesn't turn on when it's hooked up. Unhooked... it works. Is there a trick I'm missing? Does the tire have be at a lower psi to get it to work? Any suggestions it would be helpful.
Air around here is free at most gas stations, or 75 cents for the ones that charge,and only takes a few seconds to fill my tires. I keep a 12 volt inflator in the trunk that works well and was dirt cheap. I can't imagine any scenario where I would need this tool.
Bicycling
You have a limited imagination obviously
But out here in Cali we only have Costco and maybe Sam’s club everywhere else they charge you. I used to have a huge compressor before I moved here but I sold it. And this will be handy on road trips I always pack tire patches with me just incase. So definitely handy to have.
Motorcycle for sure. Could've used this today
I use the Milwaukee M12 inflator and it saved my butt numerous times. I have a bunch of M12 tools already so buying the bare inflator runs less than $100.
I use it with a 6 amp battery and it can fill several tires before a recharge.
Lighted Display, auto shut off, and on-board tools too. It's a great tool.
Yes, if you have a battery system and can handle a little bigger unit those are really great, I have a Makita one, it drives me insane that I have to hold the button the whole time, so I shove in a ball to trick it, but other than that its a good unit. I see this one for people that want a stand along unit, super easy to use.
The last thing anyone wants in a portable battery-operated inflator is to be tied to a large bulky outboard battery charger that typically runs on AC mains power only. They are also some of the most expensive solutions out there. If you're a contractor on the job site already, then it might make sense, but otherwise it's a silly solution for most home users. The Makita I looked into was the same price as this unit but without any battery/charger and no faster (tested on ProjectFarm channel). The kit was nearly double that @ $170. Absolutely redic and more for the religious Ford-vs-Chevy type than people who just want a good inflator :)
Agreed Jeffery. The M12 unit can also roll around in my truck and it still keeps on working. This one looks kinda fragile.
I have a Ryobi inflator. The tool only was $35. It is rated for 165 lb and when I used it to temporarily pump up an airplane strut it made it to 180 lb. Not nearly as compact as that unit but very fast and efficient.
Ryobi makes some really great stuff at great prices, keep in mind they own Milwaukee too!
@@SilverCymbal wow, I didn't know that. I prefer Milwaukee, but once in the system it's hard to break out.
@@SilverCymbal actually it's TTI, they own Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridged, Dirt Devil and some others. I own both the Ryobi and Milwaukee inflators, and hands down the Milwaukee is the better choice...
@@jascospeed you get what you pay for - Milwaukee is made for standard professional duty jobs where Ryobi is prosumer and does not use the top end components that Milwaukee does - that being said Ryobi really upped their game on most of their cordless tools. I think I see more green and black on job sites than I do anything else for the past year or so. I picked up a quiet strike impact driver last night marked down from $99 to $40 on clearance and I absolutely love it. It drives just as well as my dewalt impact but is stupid quiet in comparison. I think I see more green and black in my tools now than I ever thought I would that's for sure.
OMG Yet again with an amazing recommendation. I have bought a bunch of "Cheap" inflators over the years only to have them die time & time again. Time to level up to one that I can use for our cars, Kids Bikes, Toys & will hopefully last a long time. Ordered one up! Thanks again & Much ❤️
Laughed at the drink comment. Wasn’t expecting that. Keep up the great vids and unique product reviews!
Much appreciated! I never understand how that happens, you buy the drink, drink 1/3 of it and then leave it. There's a trash can right next to the thing too!
I have one and have used it only once but it worked very well and was much quicker than anticipated. All four tires were low 6-8 psi... did all four in under 10min and had one bar of charge left. So far so good... time will tell.
Looks like you got only 2 fills on one charge. I bet they advertise as 4 because the tires were either off the car or the car was jacked up. I would be curious to see if you got 4 filled on a tire off the car. Also, I’d be curious if you jacked the car up slightly how long it would fill vs not jacked up.
Air pressure is air pressure. So, it should make no difference in how long it takes to inflate a tire to the desired pressure. The only difference between the car being jacked up off the ground and sitting on the ground is the shape of the tire at the ground - it will be flat along the contact patch. That's it.
Thank yoU for thiS videO upwards inflection man
The one thing you didn’t cover and I guess it’s a moot point because you were only able to fill two tires before the battery was about dead, but that has to do with overheating after a certain amount of time. Most of the small units can’t run longer than about 20 minutes because they will overheat, then you have to wait 30 minutes or more for them to cool down to use again.
Although a much more expensive option, I opted to get the Milwaukee cordless 2 gal air compressor and a 12 Ah battery. 6 bills for the set, but it’s an excellent portable air compressor to do work around the house. When it comes to tires I can easily fill up a set of truck tires with no problem.
The small portable tire inflators are a great solution if you’re in a pinch or on a tight budget and don’t have a practical use for one, but I would not recommend any of them if you can afford the cost, have room and can have a use for a small cordless air compressor.
Ordered one on your recommendation. Which others have you tried, I know there are so many out there. AstroAI, Airmoto, Oak & Iron, etc seem like some decent ones. Only thing that would make the Fanttik better would be a 12v backup option just in case. Is the Fanttik still the one you prefer since the review?
Great review.
Thanks
Thanks for the review I love you channel. Very informative and entertaining. Your review must have a lot of influence, this is sold out now!
Thank you, apprently when the video went live earlier today they sold out, I wrote them and they said there will be more in stock in two days and the discount codes will still be working. I am not affiliated with them any more than getting the demo unit so I don't know what they have for stock, etc.
Good accessory for motorcycle bag.
My local petrol station never charged for air. Until new management. Very tanned management. Now it's chargeable. I use different place. For principles.
I like it. I burned up 3 portable inflaters because I let them run over 15 min, so I swore off them. I'll give this a shot
Nice review how long does it take to go from a few psi down which is the normal use, other than completely flat. Something like 5-6 psi. I'm not sure when the tpms light comes one for the vehicle.
Great review. Btw you can change the presets with the up and down arrows to make it exactly what you want so next time it’s already set.
I bought the newer version for my husband and he loves it. The newer version seems to be more accurate and I read somewhere that they complain about losing air when unscrewing the hose from the tire and I have yet to notice that. Anyway.. he also asked me to get one for myself because it is handy for someone like me who hardly know anything about cars. We are also getting another one for his cousin. lol
I’ve been using the VTOMAN X1, which essentially does this as well as being a car jump starter. It’s only slightly larger and has essentially the same inflation features, plus of course being able to jump start almost any car.
9 minutes for a tire is very long. I have a cordless Avid Power Tire Inflator that only takes a couple of minutes (from empty) so it usually takes about 30 seconds to get about 6-8psi and has a removable, rechargeable battery. Sure, it's not as compact as this one, but it will still comfortably fit in the car's glove compartment. It also costs half the price of this one. I could see the use for this if you need something very compact, like to store inside a motorcycle or a bag as you go for a bicycle ride, but for a car, this is way too slow and that battery capacity is quite small as well.
ye uk tyre inflators do less then 5minutes
I was just thinking the same. 9 minutes is not fast at all. that is long.
I have similar.
I have a 12v compressor designed for motorcycles that is safe to use in the rain and comes with a power lead you can leave connected to the battery that have used many, many times after fixing punctures. Much more reliable and about the same overall size as the unit in the video. On a bicycle I just carry small bicycle pump that weighs next to nothing and runs on dude power. Overall I see the pump in the video as a hipster toy.
Long indeed.
Is there a rechargeable portable air reservoir that could be used with air horn, blower nozzle or other similar applications?
Awesome! Thanks for posting. No need for a big compressor if you have this.
Buy a 12v motorcycle compressor and it does the same job for less without needing a battery to recharge.
Now that is cool!
We have the ryobi cordless inflator and carry it in the vehicle if one of the tires gets iffy. The only issue with ours and all inflator types is temperature. It gets really cold in MN, and in subzero weather, it causes iffy tires to trigger the check tire pressure light to come on, and guess what, those inflators will not work under certain temperatures, unless we brought it inside the warm home instead of leaving it with the cold vehicle overnight forgotten. It is the reason why gas stations close down the air stations for the winter. But you can get free air at places such as tire retailers (Discount Tire, etc) where they will fill it for you.
Seen plenty of these cordless inflators about, the problem is they are drastically slow, I use a 12v plug in inflator and it gets my tyres from flat done in around 3 minutes, it also has auto shut off, led screen and light with various modes, I guess you'd only really need a completely cordless inflator if you do have bicycles and or want to pump up toys or balls which is more so the market for this product in my opinion.
The feature I like about this is the set and forget feature unlike the ones you have to hold.
Me too! I really like my Makita but its too big for a glove box and I hate that you have to hold it and have your ear 1 foot from the noise.
Will it run if you have it plugged into the car charging outlet. I have one from harbor freight, no batteries runs off the car power outlet. Takes ages but takes up less space than a foot pump.
How hot does it get... my experience with small inflators is they burn out if you don't give them a brake while inflating a big tire.... does it seem like it will overheat?
Well here it is Jan 9 and I just bought one and also got the discount, Thanks!
I'm so glad it still works! I had no idea!
This is a marvellous channel! I have learned lots of thing from sprinkler shut down, lawn maintenance to car engine detailing! Big thump up!
I really appreciate that, thank you
If you can make it to a Lowe's they typically have a free air compressor near the Pro checkout area, outdoors near the store. Same as the $0.75/use machines you find at gas stations, only free to use.
Never seen that.
Can you replace the rechargeable batteries in it or is it trash after three years?
Did you test pressure for accuracy?
The reason the pump goes 1 pound above what you set is there is usually a pound of pressure in the line that it compensates for.
The Servo (gas station) doesn't charge for air in here in Australia. You don't even need to buy fuel to use it. Just turn up, use it and go.
looks good...
one of the best things i like about it is that it's quiet
I keep a Ryobi impact driver with a lug nut socket and the Ryobi tire inflator/deflator in my trunk at all times. I check the 4 Amp hour battery every other week to make sure it's charged. After blowing out two tires in my previous vehicle and having those both items on hand, I was able to pull over, swap in my spare tire, inflate, and be back on the road in under 15 minutes.
Everyone should keep some variation of one of these in their vehicle at all times.
This one looks sold out right now, but I'd definitely consider picking it up as a gift for others when it comes back in stock. Thanks for sharing!
How you like the rayobi?. I have a few rayobi told and I'm looking for an inflator to take on my sxs while trail riding. I checked on Amazon and this one is unavailable
Is it safe to keep such a thing with Lithium battery in car in summer?
@@shmohsin-lasvegasIf it’s kept out of direct sun, somewhere like the trunk doesn’t get so hot it affects the lithium battery. Anecdotally, I’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years without any problems, meaning the batteries seem unaffected, although I only charge them between 50-75%, and rotate them regularly. Seems complicated, but really means I just hit the gauge button every two weeks and every couple months when I check them, I rotate them with another battery.
Thanks for the reply. After I asked this, I bought a fire retarding Lithium Battery protection bag on Amazon. I live in Vegas so it gets very hot in summer. :)
Man! I wish I had seen this just a week ago! I just purchased a different rechargeable inflator.
Hey SC, I love your videos. Lately however, the volume is about half of other properly limited videos. I don't know what you know about audio but you should throw a limiter on the master bus and bump up the volume to normal levels. Thanks man, have a great one.
I appreciate the feedback, I think I see what you mean. Let me see if I can give it a boost for the next one, thank you for letting me know.
I didn't find it that low vs other videos but it definitely is lower. A limiter is unnecessary if the problem is too low of a volume, and these videos don't have crazy dynamics to tame but yeah it can help keeps things from going too high when volume jumps a lot. All he has to do is visually check/raise the wav form from start to finish. I get what you mean though, volume mgmt is a serious problem among many RUclipsrs. So many YTers are all over the place, but this wasn't that bad to me, just a tad low across the board
that cordless inflator looks like it came out of the same factory as the storm2 liquid power bank. the top of the unit looks like the top of the power bank with the ports. the bag looks just like the bag that comes with the storm2 powerbank. both are that dark grey and yellow color scheme.
I’d like a lightweight no battery corded 12v version for motorcycles (that already have a battery and would only need a short cord to reach each tire)
Plus, it’d last for many more years that way.. no internal battery that *will* eventually refuse to take a charge, or be dead when needed most.
Dear Silver Cymbal, During the video you mentioned you also have a Makita. I bought one and find it to be off by 1.5 pounds. Is yours accurate? Thanks.
Great channel
I really appreciate that thank you
can i store it inside the car in a closed compartment ? weather in my city can reach 50C (122F)
I got a foot pump for £6.50, it does what it says on the tin. Never needs batteries.❤️😊
Good luck foot pumping a car tire haha
I am so happy I bought this inflator. A great investment ! The Milwaukee M18 is very good too but its a lot more money.
Very interesting 🤔
Impressive
Wonder if it would work in a 2500/3500 truck with 80 psi tires?
I've got a nice one that plugs into the car accessory adapter. Fast, and don't have to worry about dead batteries.
I had one of those for a long time, I think the problem with the older ones is that the gaskets inside freeze up if they sit too long but if you have a good one thats great.
But does it separate moisture from the air before filling tires?
I recommend these for ebikes and tires smaller than 20"inch
Quick tip. Most truck stops have free air in back for the semi trucks while up front you have to pay.
Very nice, I can use something like this! But when I click the link, it already shows as "Unavailable"? Did they sell out?
0:53 All bicycles in my country have the Schrader Valve, I did not even know there were any other kind on Bicycle tires..
Is the piston gonna snap in half after 2yrs like every one I ever owned ?
Can u use it while it's on the charger ?
mine plugs into the car and inflates in seconds? what good is a cordless for the car??
Thanks much. And it's not always a flat tire, more often than not, just lower than it should be in my case. I am sold! You could recharge in the car once driving again too.
Yes 100%. Normally a totally flat tire as shown is rare but you can do 2 for sure if needed. Topping off is a piece of cake.
Nice idea but . I have a twin cylinder compressor about size of electric kettle.
Very fast can also do a inflatable SUP quick.
wonder how long it takes to inflate larger things like paddle boards.
I use a track pump, never needs recharging, takes like 1 min per tire, includes free exercise
Does it have a fan? I bet it is VERY hot inside. Is there a cooling wait time between inflating tires? Is there a cooling time before recharge or does it have a temp sensor? Run time will be much less when cold. A lithium battery in a super hot vehicle during summer?
I never heard it but it may run in tandem with the pump, I also thought it would be like a little fire brick, but it was BARELY warm to the touch, not hot in the least bit after 20 minutes of use, only stopped for 1 minute to deflate the tire the second time! That is way more than you would normally use. Very nice little machine
The glaring flaw is but being able to run it from a cigarette lighter jack.
I bought a maxi trac air compressor from Napa for off-roading. Around the same price, has to plug onto car battery, and is less portable but it will fill large off-road tires in less than 1 minute.
True and I know that models and its nice. But its 12x the weight and 17x the size. If you can fit it great but I couldn't even carry that in my Tacoma without putting it in the bed.
Does it have an adapter to inflate an Air Mattres?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT CHARGING TIME - 4 HOURS.
I BOUGHT ANOTHER BRAND, AND THE INSTUCTIONS DON'T EVEN MENTION CHARGING.
I'VE SCRWED AROUND WITH IT FOR 2 DAYS. I NEED THE INFLATOR TO WORK WITHOUT GOING TO POWER FROM A CIGARETTE LIGHT SOCKET. MINE IS BROKE FROM MY WIFE'S SMOKING.
THANKS AGAIN.
Is it louder or quieter than other air pumps?
If you have Ryobi ONE+ batteries or the same type, their tire inflator is like $25 on direct tool outlet, works fast. This things cool too tho!
I've been looking for a good tire inflator but I would rather get one that uses a 12v plug.
My walmart inflator which is plugged in the power socket cost me $9.00 been using it for like 3years now. All good
