Resetting the Milwaukee Inflator: Yup, I need to read the instructions.

[@mattcdubs]

For the m18 version you’ll need to press and hold at the same time the negative and inflate button to reset

[@GreggCesaroni]

I literally thought about tossing mine but then I stumbled upon this video. Tried the reset and it’s way more accurate than it came from factory. My Audi RS3 tires it makes it way easier. 44 psi front, 39 psi rear. Each tire I set the target 1 psi higher and it ended up 0.5 psi lower than set. Before I had to set the front tire target to 46 and the rear to 41. Yet it read 0 when not connected. Before the reset it was at 1.5 psi when not connected.

[@744johnnyboy]

Thank you! Mine was at 7.5 PSI and needed to be reset for sure

[@TheLinkMedic]

I bought this a year or two ago to fill up an inflatable toy or something, thinking I wasn't gonna use it much but man was I wrong I use it weekly almost. Mine has been doing this, I assumed there was a reset but like you I didn't have my manual anymore, so hopefully this fixes it. Maybe I'll report back tomorrow.

[@tysinschaugaard2785]

So glad I found this video!!

[@ToprankImporters]

Great. Worked on mine. Sharpie or Posca and writing on equipment is the best for "memory"

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Perfect to the point video 👍👍

[@lastbesttool]

Thanks. Seems I got one right.

[@dianeweiss4562]

I wish you had showed me how to remove the battery for recharge. You did it so fast.

[@RevelryRacing]

Is this likely to work to make their built in gauge more accurate even when it properly reads zero when not connected to anything?

[@monohydrate2]

1:10 where it starts

[@andrewscott8892]

4wd 24-7 just put out a video the other day about 50 4wds being over gvm, pretty shocking results but not surprising at all

[@IndySmiths]

will these air up an air mattress?

[@1bra89]

can u blow air and remove dust with that example the pc etc ...?

[@unrealii]

Going to try this for my m18 version.

[@mattcdubs]

Press and hold the negative and inflate button for the m18 version

[@Jerry-br3zl]

The thermostat thing is blinking on mine and it won’t function but it’s not hot it’s been inside and I live in Florida so I know it isn’t too cold lol

[@joshk3476]

Thank you

[@jessehughes3741]

Used mine the first time tire psi was 29 filled it to 35 worked great moved to the second tire ran 5 sec said it was full then it read the air psi again was at 30 psi so hit the button again started ran up to 31.5 psi said it was full again shut off gave it a second tire psi read 31.5 hit the button again ran to 33 psi shut said it was full which it wasn't hit it one last final filled it up to 35 psi . Next 2 tires same thing wasnt showing any temp problems battery was half full . Anyone else had the same problems or do i just need to send it back ?

[@TheTurbomopar]

I have the same issue, have you found a solution

[@voterking]

Did you ever solve this, or was it a faulty unit? Mine does exactly the same

[@avaskipper4170]

I have one but it's not inflating when connected to a car

[@VespertiliKildem]

Hey excuse me, what type of charger do you use for those m12 batteries? I've read TERRIBLE reviews on the Milwaukee original charger, was contemplating buying a Chinese counterpart. I'm so confused ahah

[@lastbesttool]

I mostly use a Milwaukee combination M12/M18 fast charger. Zero problems. The only complaints I've heard about the original M12 charger is it only works with M12 batteries and most of us run both M12 and M18. So Milwaukee should have included the combo charger.

[@VespertiliKildem]

@@lastbesttool thanks for the reply, so you're saying you had no problems with Milwaukee charger whatsoever? Well good to hear! I was wondering whether to buy one of those or a ryobi one.

[@garyhoerner8233]

That did the trick!

[@AX-Driver]

My M12 will not stop at the target pressure. Do you know a solution to this problem?

[@lastbesttool]

I've never heard of that. Sounds like a Milwaukee service center issue. Good luck.

[@AX-Driver]

@@lastbesttool Thanks!!

[@dangitgrossman]

Thank you so much for showing us, I didn’t even know that I could calibrate mine (which is sitting at 2.5psi 😊) Much appreciated !!

[@Balla1309able]

I bought mine new on marketplace I set it to 40psi the inflator says it’s 40psi I check it with a tire gauge and it’s 25psi I’ll try this and hopefully it works I think the issue is it should have the inflator that sucks on with the latch like other inflators I also have the smallest m12 battery I should have bought the m18 inflator and put the 6.0 battery I have

Forget the tool I wanna see that Rolex. Is that the sea dweller?

thanks for this

[@sukbajwa]

Thanks pal

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

I've never understood these. A hot car in the middle of summer is probably the last place you'd want a standard lithium battery unit. No car charger adapter or even a cord to hook up to a wall outlet. I guess it makes sense for milwaulkee- helps sell more batteries.

[@lastbesttool]

I use it daily when overlanding to keep my Firestone airbags at the appropriate pressure for the terrain and payload. I use a Viair compressor for truck tire pressure adjustments while off-roading. I think my truck cab gets no hotter than southern job sites in the summer. And I've not heard of any spontaneous combustion issues with the Milwaukee batteries. Some of the less dialed-in brands and knockoffs, yes, but not the major companies.

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

@@lastbesttool Ah I wasn't talking about explosions, more batteries degrade horribly in high heat. Top operating temps are around 60C and heat easily gets to 80s in a car in the summer. Would seriously shorten the lifespan of lithium-ions. But I suppose explosions could happen if you live in the SW like near Arizona or SoCal.

[@lastbesttool]

@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 Ahh, good point. My mistake. I've been pretty rough with many lithium batteries across a handful of platforms, and finally decided that I need to push my gear and replace it when it fails. Some batteries die on the vine just sitting on the shelf so their time is limited regardless of use or storage practices.

[@ericrucks4836]

I'm having the same issue with pressure reading. I'm doing the exact same thing with power button and plus button three times. Mine won't reset...... any other suggestions?

[@lastbesttool]

Over time, my success has been hit and miss. When it resets, its right away. Pop out the battery. Run it for a moment. Do almost anything different, and then try the reset. I'm not sure why the finicky reset, but both mine are being picky now. Plus when PSI is off, it's off by more than before. Usually 3 or more pounds.

[@joelm7660]

Thanks

[@vicarod]

Hahaha...I do it all the time with mine. Set the pressure, then shut it off. They really need to switch the start button and the on/off switch.

[@cezarnebun9607]

just pay attention to what you are doing...i have never ever done that with mine...and i use it very often, at least 8 times a month...

[@swampe_rat]

Thank you!
