@@lauchlanstill6677as much as i love dewalt im sorry but milwaukee batteries are miles better both in life and discharge rates. There are multiple people that have tested them side by side on youtube if youre curious.

@@digger105337 nahh, it wasn't my screw. I wasn't doing the carpentry any of the times and when I do, I do not mess with them in the area where anybody parks.

Having to thread that on the valve stem sucks. For those of you that own one of these inflators...the company that makes the lock n lube for grease guns just released a locking adapter you can add on to the compressor so you no longer have to thread it on. Your welcome.
I went from using a Everlast jumper ox and air pump combo that not only sucked and was a worthless machine ever made to upgrading to the Milwaukee M18 inflator and I have no regrets. The best part about the pump is the settings of memory and the cooling fan so it never over heats. I picked my inflator up on Amazon and I use a xc 5.0 battery and I usually get 4-6 flat tires fully inflated, depending on the size for the disclaimer but I love it and it's worth the money. The Milwaukee M12 inflator is also a good little machine as well but I chose the M18 because I do not have any M12 batteries lol so regardless if you pick up the M18 or the M12 inflator they're both equally good in my opinion.
In my case I think it’s worth it. Unlike most air compressors this one goes to 150psi instead of 120psi. I use mine for my air shocks since most compresses don’t go up high enough for what I like. Having to screw it on the valve stem sucks but I got some quick release valves for it on Amazon for around $8 bucks
I also like the Ridgid inflator. My Rebel has 33.5 stock tires and it was able to handle all 4 and topping off my work truck's tires as well. Before they came out with it though I had the M12 version which sucks lol wasn't even good enough to do one tire when I aired down at the beach. Now I just use it for filling up expansion tanks (I'm a plumber). For the price and performance though, I gotta go with the Ridgid. Bonus perk is you're able to plug it in the car as well if your battery dies. To my knowledge not even the M18 can do that.
I have something similar to this and I'm certain it costs less and does way more. It's basically a MASSIVE battery with an air compressor for inflating tires, a set up jumper cables to jump your car (I've used it 3 times on a single charge and it still had power left, although it's rated for one jump), 5v USB A plugs for charging your devices, a couple of 12V cigarette plugs that you could use to power anything from a phone/GPS/laptop charger, and a bright ass work light in case you get a flat at night or need a bright light to see around or if the power goes out during a storm. To charge it you just flip out the male power outlet prongs that's connected to the unit and plug an extension cord directly into it (no cable attached to it, so you can't lose the cable). I've had it for multiple years and just keep it in my back seat. That thing has saved me soo many times. Pretty sure it was like $100, maybe $150. Worth every penny 😁👍 Edit: Just checked the price of the Milwaukee and it's $180 and doesn't have even a quarter of the features mine has for almost half the price! Plus nowhere near the battery life mine has. Total rip off
I bought a ridgid one for half the cost. Fills a flat 17 inch truck tire in about 7 minutes to 44psi. Also has a lifetime warranty. Very similar to Milwaukee, but a slightly smaller package. I bought a scamazon one that has a battery charger in it as well. Performance is similar.
My top of the line Rigid inflator broke after 8 months…took it back to the big box. I hope you have better luck than I did. I upgraded to the M18 unit as shown here. Love it.
One time a starter failed on a semi in a yard and I had a homemade tool that connects to the gladhands and I able to supply more than 100 psi to release the brakes on the truck so we could pull the truck with a forklift ! I could of caged the brakes but didn’t want to get dirty … this tool is worth it to me regardless the price tag.
But think about it. You're on the road, you arent near any tire place for walking distance, bet you wish you had a compressor then huh lol. Ofc in an ideal scenario just replace the broken shit but in a pinch this is great. Not to mention i think this goes to show the strength of the product. 40 psi on an empty big tire within 10 mins? Imagine how fast itll go on tires that are just low
I have a cheap 12v compressor that plugs into the 12 volt outlet in a vehicle for 10 bucks at a family dollar years ago. It takes as long as this Milwaukee compressor to fill a tire. It's slow but works.
@Lunatic Scribbles I mean it's okay in specific scenarios. I have a power tank which is a better alternative. I could have filled that tire in less than 20 seconds with no moving parts or batteries
@@idabomb00 preach, I drive with a jumper box/air compressor combo like that. Only part that sucks is that it doesn’t jump a vehicle if it’s super dead
We use one almost daily on 10 ply trailer and truck tires and they run at 80 psi. It has absolutely no problem handling constant, above normal load ratings.
Speak for yourself, we've used the smaller version of this compressor to fill up a few sedan tires at home, when the tires start losing air randomly, and we don't have time to get a new tire
@@Olorile obviously that was some hyperbole but i have multiple compressors at home so i dont see a need for this at home. I have a gas powered compressor i use for roofing and sometimes i take it to the trails. But if i can save the space and not worry about spilling gas, ima do that
@Honda Service Center That's fair, we also have an air compressor, but it's less of a hassle to just grab the smaller one and fill the tire in less than 5 mins, rather than getting it connected and all that jazz. Plus I'd rather have it with me on the road as well, just In case of any mishaps
$280 bucks for tool alone. Nope - I love tools but the use to cost ratio is extremely low. I have a compressor at home so this would only for emergency road use. Not denying it an awesome tool….
Ofc it’s worth it even the smaller version kicks ass I test gas lines for work sometimes and we pump them up to 66psi with the smaller Milwaukee inflator.
I have a craftsman model, does the same thing, but I can use A/C wall current, power tool battery d/c, and 12v Car Battery. It made be a craftsman, but it was a less than Milwaukee, and I'm getting my money's worth!
I bought one from snap on . I didn’t realize it took several minutes to inflate a tire. It comes in handy the handful of times I’ve used it. most of the time I just grab the old “ pancake” compressor. I only paid 40,000 for the snap on one
I’ve used the $19 Ryobi for the past 2 years and even though it says not to run it for more than 5minutes at a time I’ve left it running 15-20 min straight plenty of times and it’s still working perfectly. It has inflated 33’s and 35’s before too
I carry an M12 snub nosed imoact with 250 ft/lbs torque, two 6.0 batteries, an M12 inflator, a plug kit and a jump box. Used it on other people so far.
40 seems like an awful lot for that large of a tire. A lot of people don’t realize those large beefy tires take a lot of air but not as much pressure. The smaller low profile tires take less air volume but normally a lot more pressure. A large tire like that I would think about 32 would be about it my low profile tires on the Mustang takes 45
Lol I was thinking you’d get back 8 mins later and still find it flat! I manage a tire shop and you don’t know how a tires I’ve filled in my day when people come in for a flat…only to realize the air coming right out from the huge hole on the inside sidewall😂
I used my hart compressor for our C Allis Chalmers rear tire, Every ten minute or so I gave it a 5 minutes off. 25 minutes of air got it back to usable inflation levels
I have an emergency jumper/inflator/lamp/USB charger/12V supply from Norauto and its fantastic. Jumps anything in 12V and inflates tires and mattresses, charges phones and has a strong lamp for about 100 dollars. I keep it in my car and cruise around helping MILFs.😮
I think my little $60 Slime brand portable "tire inflator" (their words not mine) is considerably faster, granted it is 12v and does not use a battery. Seems like 40psi in 8 or 9 minutes is kinda slow. Maybe I'm overthinking it? I haven't used my little off-road compressor in forever so I could be mistaken. *EDIT* I just looked it up and it can handle up to 100psi, but can do 50psi in 6 minutes. That's plugged into 12v and not on a battery like the Milwaukee.... I'll stick with the Slime Tire Inflator.
The Milwaukee is 18v and $220 on sale, down from the MSRP of $250. The Slime Tire Inflator I have is $63 and 12v and outperforms the Milwaukee, but isn't necessarily as "portable" as it requires a 12v DC power source.... again I'll stick with the one I've got.
I need a clutch. My front porch needs a clutch. My dog asked for a clutch, but I dunno. I once considered buying a laundry basket that had a clutch, but I struggled with the need of it,. I bought the laundry basket with a clutch. Only because I asked myself, do I need a clutch?, I went with clutch. Clutch is the answer when clutch is the question. Go choke yourself fool.
I use mine for a lot of gas line tests. Worth every penny compared to pumping them with a bicycle pump. Also airs a lot of tires up quickly. Yea a dead ass tire took 10 mins. My f150 xlt tire can be aired up from 20 to 40 psi in about 3 mins.
If you're already in the Milwaukee line, and do a lot of tire inflations, particularly of non-runners, then paying just shy of two bills for one these might make sense. As a happy bottom-feeding home gamer I've been pretty happy with my cigarette lighter powered Horror Fright Pittsburgh 12V 100 PSI High Volume Air Inflator that's currently about $40. Unlike their utterly craptastic little yellow plastic ones for like $8, which are not even designed for car tires, and will likely burn out with first use, those metal-bodied ones are really durable. I've had and used mine for several years, even on big RV and trailer tires that like 50-60 lbs.
I have both the m12 and m18. I can tell you that the m18 version is one of my favorite tools. It’s an absolute beast and blows the m12 out of the water. M12 is best for smaller tires or tube tires for a bike, etc.
Thank you for this 1 min real world test review. I’ve been thinking of getting one of these. How many bars did your battery have left after 9 minutes of run time?
I have one. Like about all of Milwaukee's 18v tools, it lasts a long, long time on one charge. I'd be surprised if it dropped more than 1 bar, if even that.
I have the small makita one and live it! If you have a lot of passenger cars and motorcycles standing around, this is so nice! You may have to wait a little longer but for me it's worth.
The m12 version could probably do it in the same amount of time… it’s more compact… and probably a lot cheaper. Think I paid a little less then 100 for it.
I am sure it can do this once or twice. I am not sure what run times and pressures it is rated for. A lot of these will overheat and the bushings have a finite life span as well. If it was built to last it would be $300+ and you'd probably go looking for something a little bigger. Its technically an 'inflator' not a compressor
That’s quite amazing. I have a similarly sized 12v inflator and it needs to rest for every 10 minutes because it will get so hot that it it could melt the seals. How much battery bars did it take to inflate the 35” to 40psi?
Oof 30 dollar Walmart one will do better. Bought a cheap one because I was in a bind and some how it hasn't broke after 5 years. 3 of which it spent airing up 35s on a Ford excursion.
I have both, picked up the m12 to keep in my fiancé's car, and then got the m18 when it released to keep in my Jeep. Both work great. At one point we used both of them daily simply because I was just too lazy to replace or fix the tires 😂
The best and safest way to maintain your compressor intact use the jack like you going to change a tire cuz that will make the compressor air the tire not lefting the hole car cuz the compressor will not survive in long-term
Looked up several top 10 lists of best cordless tire inflation tools and it was not on any of the lists. Does look like it does a good job. Wonder how long the battery lasts? Any cordless tools hi have had in the past always seem to be dead or close to it when needed. Have gave up on cordless, good if you use them daily or weekly.
Leave it on and forget about it, take off while it’s still connected, then run it over in the process, then let me know what you think! My brother in law did this filling up his back tire on a 2nd gen ram dually truck it still works great! Lol A very great reason why I would buy this myself 😂👍
Great video I have my preference for brand when it comes to certain tools and I was close to buying that or the DeWalt inflater and now I know i made the right choice my DeWalt can pump up to 120 psi which I never need that much but it's good to have the extra if I need and it takes maybe 1-2 minutes to get to 60 psi
I have the Hart hand held inflator I use it alot more than I should on a F150 with 275/80 18s but I always jack up the pickup and take the load off the tire. No reason other common sense that it'll prolong my to life
I've got it and I use it all the time when I go wheeling, mainly when I hit the beach and need a quick increase so I'm not running at 20 or so on the road
Not sure how much this costs but I’m guessing at least 100$. I have a cheap one that plugs into your 12v plug and will do it in the same amount of time but I paid 20$ for it. Worth it if you need it to be more portable
I appreciate that you had to kick the tire to demonstrate that the completely deflated tire was indeed flat.
Beat me to it.
As I could see
Not only is it flat, but it's bald as well
Are you saying you don't do the same thing? Cause I do.
it's a fluke test!
Your gonna be able to run your EV from a Milwaukee battery pretty soon.

Why not just keep some tire plugs in the vehicle
@@darrel15can drink more beer if you have to stop and fill it constantly
my M12 does about 0.5 psi every 6 seconds on my normal SUV tire. I like it. The M18 looks really well built
At what psi, because as a general statement that makes 0 sense
Prolly aired up 100 tires already with mine i love it!
Perhaps bring tire to shop to either replace or fix so you don't have to continue filling up.
Love mine! Coupled with a quick detach nozzle keeps the end from getting dirty or damaged.

@@mattrueworthy1507 not my truck I don’t put money into a work truck like that I just fill it everyday lol
@@thicok4555 you said it was your Van lol you mean the van the boss owns then..
@@dajb90 well I mean I whip it everyday and all my tools are in it and I take it home so I just refer to it as mine but yes it’s my employers van
Hope it can add some tread to those tires to
Thank you for this 1 min real world test review. I’ve been thinking of getting one of these. How many bars did your battery have left after 9 minutes of run time?
I have one. Like about all of Milwaukee's 18v tools, it lasts a long, long time on one charge. I'd be surprised if it dropped more than 1 bar, if even that.
My $25 ryobi compressor with a 4ah will do it in 9 minutes too.
CAP😂
I have the small makita one and live it! If you have a lot of passenger cars and motorcycles standing around, this is so nice! You may have to wait a little longer but for me it's worth.
That tool it very much worth the money but it doesn’t work well in the cold winter as it does in the other seasons
I have the ridgid version. It also has a setting for when completely flat. Does this one? I feel like it would be much faster
The m12 version could probably do it in the same amount of time… it’s more compact… and probably a lot cheaper. Think I paid a little less then 100 for it.
I am sure it can do this once or twice. I am not sure what run times and pressures it is rated for. A lot of these will overheat and the bushings have a finite life span as well. If it was built to last it would be $300+ and you'd probably go looking for something a little bigger. Its technically an 'inflator' not a compressor
That’s quite amazing. I have a similarly sized 12v inflator and it needs to rest for every 10 minutes because it will get so hot that it it could melt the seals. How much battery bars did it take to inflate the 35” to 40psi?
Oof 30 dollar Walmart one will do better. Bought a cheap one because I was in a bind and some how it hasn't broke after 5 years. 3 of which it spent airing up 35s on a Ford excursion.
Nah I've had the cheap ones they will do it but much slower, small car tire might be that fast
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
So what is run time before damage? How large of tire can it really fill?
Needs a alignment too cause as you can see the outside of the tire is worn more than the inside which could be a loose knuckle joint 🤷♂️
Imma need my timer back😂
Does that compressor allow you to set the pressure at 32psi or does it progress in 5lbs intervals only
Yes it dose
There's many brands like this... this is temporary so you're able to make it to the gas station aor pump. If even says on the brands
I prefer to use the 9v portable air compressor for cars so that I know my car won't die on me randomly plus the price point is much better
Worst case is a flat inner dually tire on a F800 dump truck.
That tool is bad ass! Love mine, hands down no buts about it!!
I have both, picked up the m12 to keep in my fiancé's car, and then got the m18 when it released to keep in my Jeep. Both work great. At one point we used both of them daily simply because I was just too lazy to replace or fix the tires 😂
The best and safest way to maintain your compressor intact use the jack like you going to change a tire cuz that will make the compressor air the tire not lefting the hole car cuz the compressor will not survive in long-term
You NVR answered the question. Is this tool worth the money?
If this thing could go up to 140 pounds it’s worth any price you pay for
Looked up several top 10 lists of best cordless tire inflation tools and it was not on any of the lists. Does look like it does a good job. Wonder how long the battery lasts? Any cordless tools hi have had in the past always seem to be dead or close to it when needed. Have gave up on cordless, good if you use them daily or weekly.
Yup I will admit I loved the 12v one but after I got the 18v I never want to use the 12v again. The m18 one is worth every single penny
Hey, put a stopwatch next to it and push go. What more could you ask for?
It worked a lot better than a 2gl Campbell Hausfeld that I had, and quieter too.
Leave it on and forget about it, take off while it’s still connected, then run it over in the process, then let me know what you think! My brother in law did this filling up his back tire on a 2nd gen ram dually truck it still works great! Lol A very great reason why I would buy this myself 😂👍
I have a CAT regular car compressor that’s also a jumper works really well
I use it to pump up test on water systems up to 120 psi
Great video I have my preference for brand when it comes to certain tools and I was close to buying that or the DeWalt inflater and now I know i made the right choice my DeWalt can pump up to 120 psi which I never need that much but it's good to have the extra if I need and it takes maybe 1-2 minutes to get to 60 psi
I have the Hart hand held inflator I use it alot more than I should on a F150 with 275/80 18s but I always jack up the pickup and take the load off the tire. No reason other common sense that it'll prolong my to life
I've got it and I use it all the time when I go wheeling, mainly when I hit the beach and need a quick increase so I'm not running at 20 or so on the road
Long time for one tire. Milwaukee makes/did make a larger inflating unit years ago
Worth it. I have one.
Not sure how much this costs but I’m guessing at least 100$. I have a cheap one that plugs into your 12v plug and will do it in the same amount of time but I paid 20$ for it. Worth it if you need it to be more portable
it's $179 battery not included.
