Cool review. Good to see that Milwaukee have come out with option for their customers with different requirement. I have the M12, for more that 2.5y and this inflator is running well without issues. I could live with its duty cycle and speed compared to the M18 here. M12 comes in a more compact form and it does what i need it to do. However for the future I would definitely go for the M18 as the next purchase due to its better specs. If milwaukee made the M18 inflator similar design but scaled up, it would be a best seller imo

Moisture did get inside the screen lense but its gone now and still works fine. I do recharge battery everyday because im paranoid, My XC 5.0 has gone 1 bar once when we where busy as hell so i charge regularly but thats just me, And the 12.0HD too expensive. If your looking into one it's very practical for my line of work, But to have in the garage? Theres cheaper options i would say. I don't have buyers remorse but i do think when i quit this Job i wont have anymore use for it honestly. Already have a cheap ass slime inflator i rarely use at home. Milwaukee Inflator stays in work truck. Regardless it's a bad ass inflator to have and i recommend it and maybe if you have no tight budget get 12.0 battery lol

Everyone knows that was the achilles heel of the m12 version while the dewalt 18v model handled those just fine albeit you may want to keep in mind dewalt's lackluster duty cycle if you're inflating multiple mattresses at a time.

Be careful using this with any of those small volume tires. Tried this using the targeted 50psi on a small scooter tire starting at 10psi and it quickly jumped above 75psi before I could react to turn it off in time. The targeting with these lesser volume tires failed 2/2 times. The manual on/off might be okay but not worth the risk as it still remains on for a few seconds beyond what you'd want. Fortunately I have many other smaller pumps for the lesser volume tires. Works great for more standard volumes.

IMHO, this is the ONLY inflator that will work for offroad use. The rest would hit the duty cycle on the first or second tire and the speed is slow. I would use the 50 psi to 75 psi test as what you will probably expect going from 10 to 32 psi in a larger tire.
