That battery probably cost much more than the tool itself.

[@jayling8086]

Depends if your just sticking in a 4/5.0 then same price but if you’re sticking in a 12.0 then yes that cost more than the tool

[@JhonKalon]

Can I stick in M18 CP 2.0?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Yes. Just won’t run long.

[@USA01930]

obvisouly those batteries are 250

[@nickgamble4544]

Well if you buy 2 or 3 things that come with batteries you have batteries for everything

[@AMM0394]

Little trick I learned with this compressor. If it’s not set to a target psi you can manually control the fill by pressing and holding the fill button. It’s great for very small incremental fills. Or trying to get something accurate. Like your air bags. There’s also an unlimited mode where I guess if you want to try and blow something up you could do that as well lol I believe take it out of target mode when it’s already filling in target mode does this unlimited mode

[@MrRobroy7]

I have this tool also as well as a whole herd of Milwaukee tools. The M18 battery is actually 18 volts, and the 12.0 on the side of that battery represents 12 Amp hours. That means it is capable of running something that pulls 12 amps for an hour. Excellent video, and yes as many people have said in the comments, this thing is a beast!

[@richardrecupero4342]

Get the m12 if u want something smaller, it goes up to 120psi, it may take longer but it’s also half the size of the m18 version

[@johnblasik9647]

I’m a contractor and have the M 18 line of cordless tools and carry this inflator in my Ford Transit work van which has lots of space for tools. It’s heavy duty and pumps up big tires fast. If you don’t already have M18 batteries this is an expensive purchase and it’s large. It’s a great tool but there are less expensive options out there.

[@robertc.6441]

That thing is a Beast! Kudos to Milwaukee and great video guys! Very well done!

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

I have a small one that I use for my tires. I don't know how anybody lives without one of these in their trunk. Definitely one of those issues if you have to change a tire and your spare is low at the wrong time in the wrong place..You don't have to worry a bit. I wish those hoses instead of having to unscrew to take the hose off had a quick release..That would be so much easier! Thanks for sharing Robert! A great video.

[@EasyProgramLessons]

Quick release connectors have the potential to break easier in my opinion. That may be why brands choose to use the screw on style. That and it's more compact/flush when storing.

[@TheWinwin4all]

Theese extension is $7-$10 on Amazon any day

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

[@davechan5159]

Appreciated your test - helps make the decision before buying. Well done. Cheers!!

[@SPACEMIKEB]

Thanks for the video. I carry two of these for airing up my Power Wagon tires after going off road, so I can do two tires at a time. I'm back to full pressure on 4 tires in 10 minutes.

[@garretlewis4103]

Thanks for the input. Been looking for an air up solution to rotate between my Colorado and wife's Gladiator.

[@juddbrown1505]

Just picked one up , hoping to air up some low semi tires ! This video instilled confidence

[@ndoc8889]

My M12 compressor does the same thing with my air bags on my truck. Typically overshoots by about 5psi. I just set the target 5psi under what I want and it’s all good.

[@hunterdillon4414]

Thanks for the testing, makes me feel better about the tool I am about to purchase.

[@fatboy19831]

The M18 is a beast. It is too big to be truly portable. The m5 outperforms all the small pumps is very inexpensive wile being small enough to be portable.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video.

[@ahineman123]

This inflator is currently free with the purchase of a Milwaukee starter kit at Home Depot. $200 for 2 5.0 batteries and a charger with this thrown in versus $180 for this by itself.

[@EasyProgramLessons]

I have the ryobi multi-purpose inflator, the one you set (I also have the less user friendly pull trigger one), and I'm happy with it's performance/speed, but I may look into this milwaukee one in the future. Not sure how much faster the Milwaukee is or how much more pressure it can pump up to, as I haven't compared the specs. Thanks for the upload!

[@plunder1956]

You can get a little screw in quick release connector for that unit (I saw this in another review) It might be very useful to you. That is a spectacular performance, What a superb tool!

[@TheWinwin4all]

After having m12for two years, this m18 is like an inflator on steroids 😀 Most fun is when you try to inflate bicycle tire with it, feels like Nascar tire pit-stop, do it in 3 seconds))

[@fatboy19831]

Do you pull the m18 with a small trailer on your bike?

[@TheWinwin4all]

Great product test.

[@davidanderson2393]

Great to see how well they work, picked one up on a package deal, bought two batteries with charger and got the inflator for free.

[@raymondromero4558]

I keep one in my trunk at all times ! Also use it to fill air tanks on semi trucks with a homemade tool , i hate laying in dirt so i figured id make something and it worked !!! I use it with a 8.0ho and set it to 110 in a couple of minutes i can release the brakes . It cost me a pretty penny best make use of it .

[@markusa5521]

Great video as always. Question off topic though on your opinion what do you think of the purolator oil filters I heard they are made by WIX

[@james-p]

I just bought one of these - with a 5.0 battery. I only have 4 tires tho not 25! lol the 5.0 should be plenty to do my tires and 4 more for a friend. The two little ones I have for my drill will provide a bit of headroom just in case!

[@jefferysmith5280]

I have the m12 and really like it

[@jjb0894]

I bought one today and it’s amazing how far I could push it even on a 4 ah battery. Really a great thing to have if you have M18 batteries.

[@triarii_00]

nice that that added this. though i still like my m12.

[@50-50chance]

Just looking at getting this cause I have the m12 and love it but does take longer to do 5 psi difference.gonna pull the trigger now thanks man.

[@josephwagner2729]

Thx for the video I just bought the same air pump . But it’s not a 12volt bat it’s a 18v bat .

[@jackiewest5352]

Those little Air compressors are nice, since air isn't free anymore. I have had several over the years.

[@foam27]

Actually, I heard that by law they have to give you free air even though there is a payment area on the front of the pump. Go in the gas station and ask, they turn it on for free!

[@rycher2007]

I love mine, I only have the 5.0 batteries but it does well with those too. 👍

[@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

[@Baileybear85]

Don't let the 12.0 battery fool you with the run time of this tool. That's a very expensive battery, and it's no wonder he was able to do so much with it.

[@williamevans6522]

That is impressive/ looks very fast, indeed, when compared to cigarette lighter plug-in compressors, or my DEWALT all in one compressor , jumpstarter, power source. That thing is pitifully slow pumping up tires.

[@MrSubaru1387]

💯

[@802Garage]

I have the M12 inflator and it's great. Got a crazy good deal on it. This is definitely the one you want for truck and large tires though. The M12 is better for cars or light truck tires I think. Main thing I wish they would have done for both is have some kind of quick chuck that doesn't lose so much air screwing and unscrewing. Minor nitpick though really. Also I'm glad I'm no the only one with a bunch of Subarus that sit on grass with flat tires, hahaha. I think we have the same illness.

[@lifeontheedge357]

[@jpbiscaro8694]

I wonder how the Makita xgt inflator compares to the milwaukee

[@foam27]

XGT, have to hold a trigger, and sounds way slower.

[@wanglee21]

I wonder if anyone has built a 1 gal tank compression tank for this. Also I was thinking once the warranty is done, connecting the internal input to an external battery or having it hooked up to battery clips.

[@iankirby4160]

Milwaukee already makes an m18 compressor tank, probably uses the same compressor too.

[@coldwe]

Milwaukee makes about 3 different ones of these. You sold me. This is the one I want.

[@Baileybear85]

The tool is amazing, but a lot of what he was able to show on camera was because of that M18 12.0 battery..

[@Joejoe-tv3hm]

I have it

It has a Presta adapter too? I wonder if it can seat tubeless bicycle tires.

Same question, need a big compressor for tubeless gravel tires.

The battery is 18V and NOT the 12V that you kept saying throughout the entire video. That’s actually an important “boring” spec!

This video would be much more useful using a battery that most people will actually already have. Not many folks are going to have $249 batteries. I’d like to know how many inflations I can get on a more reasonable battery
