Milwaukee M18 two-gallon "QUIET CORDLESS!" Air Compressor - Worth the Money? | milwaukee tools

[@jhanTheman]

Milwaukee been killing it with their tools for the last few years. Looks like a great compressor.

[@Syke492]

*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*

[@joela.rodriguez3802]

*This does exactly what I was wanting **MyBest.Tools** Price was fantastic, lower than Harbor Freight-and it included hose and attachments, and IT IS MADE IN AMERICA, unlike Harbor Freight*

[@buzzed0nbeer21]

From OG paintball, to boat builds, now reviewing tools 👍. First time I’ve seen it running. Very quiet, the air hammer was louder than the compressor. Nice video Keep them coming

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

I like it. I wish Milwaukee would come out with a big snowblower and mower as well.

[@CrushedEMTB]

The 5.0 batteries are excellent for what you can get them for in kits. Lately, they've been damn near giving the things away.

[@CrushedEMTB]

It's because the 3.0 new-gen batteries are better than the old 5.0 batteries

[@scott.wallace8625]

I have a 110v 1.5 puma runs great for nail guns any air volume air request you need a fill tank. I use fuel tools i love them. If this unit is oilless you can connect a regulator to it and dive with it. I DO NOT KNOW THIS IS OILLESS! Thanks for the vid i will look into it as i am trans to cordless

[@CrushedEMTB]

Im pretty sure it's oil-less

[@scott.wallace8625]

@@CrushedEMTB then it would be great for hull cleaning and i dropped my wrench stuff. Again make sure dive safe. Also too get air volume on it just have a bigger tank to fill. Every day use you will burn this unit out. Good tool used correctly

[@777alemap]

I would love to try one for swimming pool service. I wonder if it has enough snot to winterize pool plumbing

[@CrushedEMTB]

I have no idea

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Just so folks know, The only reason EVER to buy a cordless compressor is because you don't have 110volt available. Every time you go from 1 type of power to another you lose approximately 25% efficiency. So in this case we are going from 110volt to charge your batteries to Dc then using the Dc battery to run a air compressor pump, so you can run tools tools with air power! See what I am getting at. Not to mention the cost vs getting a 110v compressor is so much cheaper vs this. These have a use case though! I would get one for airing up my car or truck or trailer tires on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere for example. If I had to do some kind of work where there is no power, would be its only other smart use case IMHO.

[@midgetman4206]

Hey, you seem to know a bit or two about this subject, would you be willing to answer a couple of questions? (Some will be related to refrigeration)

[@MCMinerHQ]

Yup nailed it. I got this because I am starting a small air tool collection but 99% of the reason is because recently I got stranded on the road side because of a dump run gone sour, destorying my tires while towing. I said NEVER AGAIN and bought this bad boy today.

[@GameThrillers]

You guys should just check out the m12 inflator. Much better, smaller, and cheaper if you’re just looking to fill some tires. I would get the 6ah battery, or just keep a spare as it does eat up the batteries. That being said I just picked up the compressor for an air sprayer! Good luck fellas

[@GameThrillers]

Also there are many other reasons to get a cordless compressor! For example, I have an m18 tool near me no matter where I’m at. It’s convenient to have everything on the same battery platform, I also got it on sale with a free 5ah battery. Cordless is nice because you’re already dealing with the hose, at least you get rid of the cord, and not to forget, you don’t have to go looking for outlets that will reach your compressor/hose where you need it to be. I feel like it could be considered more efficient because you’re spending less time dealing with the cord lol and bonus this compressor is super quiet!

[@MorrisonDavid94]

That's like... the whole point of battery tools... hmm

[@chrisFamo]

Mines is shutting off at 60psi have any idea why? Fresh out the box

[@CrushedEMTB]

People claim Dewalt makes a better one so check that 1 out as well.

[@jessihawkins9116]

you didn’t know air compressors existed 🤨

[@Sylverlee]

Would the power on this compressor/air hammer knock out a bolt on a lower control arm?

[@CrushedEMTB]

It just depends on how much force you need, but it definitely had enough force to kick it for at least 10 to 20 seconds before it started lessening in power

[@K.b.173-dog]

Anyone bought this 3 years ago? Is she still holding up? I've read some bad reviews on longevity.

[@alanwatts8117]

Milwaukee makes the best battery tools no one makes them better

[@Jcasta8]

Has anybody that owns the cordless air compressor filled a 5 gallon or 15 gallon tank with it? I know this is not what it is meant for but I'm wondering how long it takes to fill it. My real world application would be filling my bait cannon at the beach and this would save me from having to haul a compressor and generator. I already tried the m12 inflator and it overheats after 20mins and tops out at 65psi

[@CrushedEMTB]

Couldn't tell you.

[@aayesher9400]

Try the m18 inflator. Its slightly cheaper haha

[@TheBikemaster94]

The small inflators tend to overheat, I burned 3 generic brand ones until I spent a bit more and learned how to use them safely. This one in the video has a much larger motor than the cheaper inflators I had, my guess is that it should last and be capable of filling that 5 gallon tank.

[@comedycafe3262]

have had it with crappy compressors. Yeah they sort of work. Not strong enough to inflate a larger tire or take forever. I sprung for one of these. Got all my two vehicle's tires up to inflated spec in about 15 minutes. If your only choice is to go to gas stations or rely on a tire shop to inflate your tires. Stop wasting your time and get one of these.

[@louie4224]

How do you think it'll do for blowing out dust and dirt for car detailing?

[@CrushedEMTB]

It would do okay for short bursts. I use it for the same thing. It just won't go for that long.

[@samueladams584]

Ah, so if you need to clean polishing pads for the car with a air gun it won't go without a refill

[@precisedetail]

[@chrisnedbalek2866]

Have you tried using this to inflate your tires? I think a lot of these little air compressors are basically intended to be used for airguns and stuff like that. What do you think?

8:12, enjoyed the video, the air chisel is a tell all, so now the question,, will it make for a hooka rig ?

[@CrushedEMTB]

idk

[@bobleclair5665]

4:45, if you had wood carving chisel on that hammer, can that compressor and tank handle it? and I use a pancake for my hooka rig when diving around my boat, it be nice to have a battery operated hooka rig to bring on my dingy to go lobster diving, I don’t need another pin nailer

[@CrushedEMTB]

Depends how aggressively you use it. Really, it can only take short bursts before it has to fill. It can't refill that fast. It will do small tasks in volume, but not big ones.

[@josephpetra3746]

What fittings did you use? I used 2 different fittings and both of then popped off the compressor

[@CrushedEMTB]

They were standard fittings for pneumatic hoses at home fepot

[@charliemontero1092]

I have no idea. It all depends on the amount of CFM. Your tool constantly needs. This one is pretty high.

more amp hrs don't give you more power gives you more run time. 18 volts is 18 volts. power output is the same regardless of amp hr rating

[@CrushedEMTB]

There is a substantial noticeable difference between a 5 and 6 amp hour battery in power

[@carsonmcnamer5321]

That’s not true power is measured in watts that is only voltage. Lower amp hour batteries can not output as much amperage as high amp hour batters thus higher amp hour batteries being more powerful

[@CrushedEMTB]

@@carsonmcnamer5321 It's literally advertised by Milwaukee that The 6ah and above battery gives the fuel line more power. You can literally feel it.
