37” KO2 tires using 5.0 high output m18 battery - 20psi to 37psi … roughly 3.4 minutes or 12 seconds/1psi. After 4 tires, no overheating. Normal temperature. 2 bar left on battery. Compared it with a friend’s $650cad clamp inflator and it was roughly the same speed (minus setup hassle). Best purchase. Highly recommend for novice offroaders.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It’s been kicking butt for me!

[@MichaelSSteinebach]

I bought it. Love it. My old compressor struggled with getting Camper tires up to 65 psi. This has no issue. With the schrader chuck, I can add other attachments and use quick couplers for my blow out tool, etc.

[@2point..0]

Oh I so want Milwaukee Tools M18V CORDLESS TIRE INFLATOR!!!

[@dar7771]

Just got mine last week. Love it. What a beast for a cordless application. Ordered the bag for it that holds the inflator, charger and two batteries. Keeps everything together nicely.

[@MrErichonda30]

Have 2 m12s just orded a m18 and will probably sell 1

[@damonluvisi]

I've been running my 35" tires, at 35PSI on the street. The fact you run it at 28 makes me think I'm running mine too high.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

If it’s wearing more in the center than the pressure is too high. It’s all going to depend on the weight of the vehicle

[@damonluvisi]

Check out the JACO S2X pass through Hose Extension. Gives the hose a bit extra length, maybe enough to get to the spare tire. And has a push on self locking feature so you don’t have to twist on and off to the valve stem.

[@shanew7361]

Ideally, have a tire inflator with jump starter and USB-C Ports to charge phones etc.

[@1ofTHEnxtphilosophrs]

And mattress inflator

[@wt9653]

What if you don't know which car M1 belongs to? Milwaukee needs to add feature to add name to it. I guess Gen 7 will come with it and extra 200 dollars. Anyways, I just picked one up on sale for 199 with two 5.0 batteries and charger. Looks like a winner.

I hope at some point Milwaukee realizes they don’t have to make every inch of their tools out of plastic. It’s ok to incorporate aluminum into these tools like they did with the line trimmer.

[@LWRC]

You want to add more cost to that already expensive compressor?!!! Why aluminum? How about just plate it with gold and you can impress all your friends with your $1000.00 air compressor!!!

[@justauser]

The plastic is to make the tool as durable and lightweight as possible. Metal adds weight for no reason, if it dosent need it keep it fibreglass

[@JeepArmyUSA]

A 35” tire from 14psi to 28psi in 2 minutes! If you’re in the M18 platform and wheel this is tremendous.

[@damonluvisi]

I got the m12 and never expected to use it for actually for off road. This is quite interesting since I have 2 HO 6ah batters.

[@98dodge360v8]

I just got one of these and thats what I was thinking. I havent tested it yet but I will be soon.

[@aldesilva032587]

Aired up 4 tires from 15 psi to 35psi under 10 minutes yesterday after leaving the beach. I have a smitty that does it about the same time. But the convenience of not having to pop the hood and run wires and air hoses all around is what sold me . 6ah battery and only went down 1 bar. Highly recommended this unit for off roading

[@cardo1111]

Nice unit and review 👍🏽 Unfortunately to get the best performance out of it you likely need an M18 HO battery 6Ah or even higher and Milwaukee has offered no real deals on those HO batteries in a long time.

[@DangaRanga]

Not really. Tried a regular 5.0 in mine and topped off 12 tires ranging from 8-25psi of top off and still has 3/4 bars

[@1BADLS4]

Acme tools has the best battery deals.

[@Rickydbaby]

Thinking about picking one up for off roading. Currently I use a Viar 88p that connects to the battery to air up 3 or my tires while the m12 airs up one tire. Takes quite a while over 20 minutes to fully air up and feels like i'm maxxing out my compressors. I may snag this one and use it in junction with the viar. nice to have a solid backup incase one concs out.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It works perfectly for me. Plus I already Run Milwaukee Tools so It just makes sense for me.

[@thomassaldivar9879]

Absolutely bitchin What us wheelers would call A “real world” test Yep My old M-12 just couldn’t do it Especially when we usually run at least two rigs on a trail run The Power Tank Was the answer for us But! This M-18 Has my attention!

If you have a lot of batteries we’re talking keeping at least 3 charged at all times the m12 works it lasted 5 years was still going, I used it every day faithfully my rims leak and man it’s saved me so much. I drove off with it in a rush one day hooked up to my tire walked into the gas station came out drove off. I bought the m18 version this time. I can’t explain how much that little m12 inflator saved my tail you can plug your tires any where with that thing. That being said the m18 is far more powerful and superior.

[@SubiSkank]

I recently picked this inflator up. I’m very pleased with its performance with its small form factor and easy for travel. I tested it on my car 20 to 34psi and it was very quick. Maybe 2 mins tops. To kick it up a notch, I also gave it a try on my semi steer tire at 110psi. Going from 80 to 110psi it’s took roughly 5mins tops. Unit was very cool to the touch and battery 6.0ah was still full. If you’re looking for a nice, compact inflator, I recommend this Milwaukee inflator. Much easier than dragging out my air compressor, hose and tire gauge and fill nozzle. Thanks for sharing!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Milwaukee did an amazing job with this one for sure. Thank you for watching!

[@eriknash8783]

I love this inflator, but for it to be worth having on an offroad multi day trip getting on and off trail multiple times doing air ups from 20 to 37psi, you either have to carry multiple batteries or fork out the $250 for the 12 amp/hour battery. That makes for a $400 kit!!!!!!

[@Baller14_]

Home Depot has a deal right now! If you look online they have X2 5.0 batteries and a charger with a free tool. They have 13 tools to choose from. The milwaukee M18 tire inflator is one of the options! Great deal!

[@tonymosier938]

I have a 5 way hose setup I made for my Jeep. I'd be interested in trying that over the co2 tank. Nice part about the 4 way is they are all connected in the air system and keep the same psi. This little thing would work pretty hard for a few mins for sure.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

The co2 It’s gonna be way faster but this is a great option.

[@arberr340]

I picked up one about a month ago, love it. Also, I purchased two extra batteries, a 3 & a 8 ah. I have been very impressed with it Performance from car tires , truck to tow trailers tires, very fast with little to no heat bill up, would highly recommend one.

[@Bigworm928311]

Where can I buy that tire deflator at? Can you tell me the name and website please.

[@sinusguy]

That’s why I thought you should use a closed style chuck because of that air loss, but everyone says open.

[@mnewby82]

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

[@jimmywarren6685]

That inflator has a 20 minute duty cycle..then a 40 minute cool down...your test exceeded the duty cycle...not recommended to do that.

Wonder how well this will work on large 17’s? I lower to around 15 and raise to 30.

[@flipwarrior]

I have the MX version of this, meant for Semi Trucks. On your 35” tire, it can inflate it from 15 PSI to 50 PSI in about a minute. All 4 tires will be done in about 4 minutes.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Nice!

[@canoeshoe]

This pump isn't direct drive though? Running on old tech?

[@austinmoore1689]

[@crozli2549]

I just purchased this unit yesterday. Today I Attempted to fill a tire with a plugged valve step. The pressure psi measured very high and then within two seconds the sound of a pressure relief value went off. The inflator no longer delivers pressure through the line. I farm remotely and I don’t have time to send this thing away for repairs during seeding. I need this thing to work ! What is my solution here?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I’m not sure with a time crunch. I would try Home Depot to see if they can warranty it.

[@Ramos2905]

Whats the max psi. Can it do semi tires?

[@litrick5471]

You're probably better off getting one that can use be powered by your actual truck batteries than tool batteries

@@litrick5471 that would depend on how you’re going to use it.

[@passion830217]

As an owner for more than 30 Milwaukee m18 and m12 fuel tools, the air compressor does not make sense to me. I will not carry a battery in my car all the time. especially not in hot summer. My air compressor connecting to the battery terminals makes more sense, and it is much faster.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Well I’m glad the video helped you make the right decision.

[@johnsalcido5436]

I don’t see how this makes sense for anybody who wants to throw in a car or truck and keep it there “just in case”. This looks extremely useful for people who are working on farms or constantly on the go and have tons of equipment with tires. I can take this and Inflate tires in my farm implements I stead of having to go back and get the flatbed with the air compressor!

[@soundmapper]

@@johnsalcido5436 You know people air down for off-roading, right?

[@wacalla26]

No....Only inflate !

[@edwinvillatoro3945]

i’ll wait for the fuel 😐

[@stevenfoust3782]

Why not just have a 12v inflator ? This would be good for remote locations not convenient to a power source. Obviously the battery can only last so long

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It does fine for small vehicles but when you get into the trucks it doesn’t really hold up. With long extended run times the M 12 gets very hot and shuts down

[@LWRC]

There are no on board 12V inflation systems that have the durability that is reliable for off road use - just search KZbin and view the failure posted by someone on their name brand on board air system! Just get a 10 lb CO2 tank that you put together yourself - is it not hard and cery cost effective! Leave these small compressors for cars!!!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@@LWRC i’ve seen those reviews as well with other on four compressors. This is way too new to know if it’s gonna be good long-term or not. I agree the CO2 is a great way to go.

[@LWRC]

@@HowtoAutomotive Milwaukee makes great power tools and I love them. This compressor probably will serve autos well. If I go off roading and have to air down, I'll be bringing my CO2 tank just to have the insurance that I'll be getting home that day!!!

[@glnset-apart]

@@HowtoAutomotive Well s***. i wonder if someone has bypassed the battery set up so that it can be used 12 V?

[@ccadama]

@How to Automotive. Great review and demo Brian. Question: Do you know what the duty cycle for that M18 inflator? Meaning how long can you run the inflator before you have to let it cool down for a set amount of time? I have the 20V Dewalt inflator and under 100PSI, the Dewalt has no time limit to run it. If you have to inflate over 100 PSI, the Dewalt manual says for every 10 minutes using it you have to let it cool off for 20 minutes. The Milwaukee M12 inflator needs 10 minutes to cool down after using it for 10 minutes regardless of pressure. Another good feature about the M18 inflator is that the battery is easier to remove. The M12 batteries with the wide base are a pain to remove because the bay is so small it's hard to get my fingers in to squeeze the battery tabs. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

So I’m reading on the manual here and it says dirty duty cycle is 33% at 80 psi. From my own experience I aired up all four of the tires in this video without any cool down. And it handles it just fine.

[@matthewwiddows6319]

I think great for having around the place for where you dont have power, maybe doing a trailer or non starting vehicle. to keep in the car i think your better with a 12v one, and in a workshop most have an overhead airline and compressor.

For a small compact car the M 12 is perfect for that
