Best Tire Pump? Let's Settle This! Milwaukee vs DeWalt, Makita

Tire Inflators/compressors: Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, Ridgid, DriveMo, WORX, Ryobi, Gooloo, Bauer, TC15, Kobalt, Dnyker, Novsight. Compressors tested for speed topping off 15-inch tire, inflating a completely flat tire, and inflating a load range E tire from 70 to 80 PSI. Some of the high-speed pumps compared for inflating Cousin Eddie’s air mattress.
I purchased all of the tire inflators to ensure a completely unbiased and fair review. So, thank you for supporting the channel!

Really, if you don't need battery power, the cheapest 12v inflator is the best deal. They all get really hot because it is just a very inefficient design. Some stay cooler with extra mass and heat sink, but they are all otherwise the same inside. It's a DC motor with an offset connected to a piston in a small cylinder with a reed valve acting as a 1 way valve. They tend to be made from pot metal too.

Nice video. One thing not mentioned is duty cycle. It's a good idea to be aware of the duty cycle of whatever pump you buy so you don't damage it by exceeding the duty cycle. It can be frustrating to buy a new pump and find out it can only do something like 2 minutes on, then 2 minutes off.

[@stevenbrindisi4719]

Most pumps are 10 minutes on, and 10 minutes off for those who don't know. There are a few on the market that are less though. I think the 10 minute rule is about universal for battery pumps.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.

[@david1rosenthal]

Yeah, this would have been nice to test. I have found that the biggest limitation of these type of pumps is duty cycle (and lifetime when run hard). They tend to overheat when facing a bigger job like airing up four tires. It is super frustrating to have to wait 20 minutes for a pump to cool down to get the next 10 minutes of use.

[@skylined5534]

I've only ever used really budget 12v inflators and never had an issue. In fact I've just replaced one made by Ring Automotive and it's finally thrown the towel in after 15 years. Used to top up car and van tyres and also to seat tubed tyres on various Suzuki LT/LTA/LTZ50s and LT80S over the years as well as I used to do them up as a side business.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

I go off-roading and air down large 35" tires to 15 psi, then have air them back up when done. Trust me, spent $90 on a 12v Viair 88P pump and don't look back. It will hang with the fastest pumps here, has no battery you have to replace in 6 years, no worrying about a lithium battery blowing up inside your car from getting too hot (cars get 155° inside during the summer in the south), and it is an air pump that you can hand down to your kids and your grandkids. It's not a bunch of plastic like these. I've had mine for over 10 years and I've literally aired up multiple hundreds of large off-road tires.

I was done in less than a half hour and the four amp battery was still half full. Definitely one of the better tool purchases I’ve made

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Im not a tool fan boy, so my toolbox has a bunch of brands (to the point I kind of want one from every country lol), but with the battery stuff, makes sense to stick to a brand, and Milwaukee has I think the best if you have to go with one battery platform (well, two, the M12 and M18) but its definitely the way to go. Id say even better than Snap On cordless, because of all the other little tools. The big boy impact and the stubby are just flawless, the die grinders overheat a lot and shut down, but now Im interested in this inflator... I have air in my garage, but looks like for just a flat tire or a few flats on a project I return to (I have so many of those lol) that it just might make sense to get this and not have to fill up the big tank on the compressor. Thanks for the report. Longevity is an issue with these. Im curious if the piston is some kind of metal and not plastic.

Great review!!! Getting ready to go on vacation and was thinking about this very same topic, and I knew just the channel who would have this valuable information. Thanks!!!!

[@1randyharbin]

I picked up the Bauer based on your last video, watched for a sale and picked it up for just over $30, and I already had the batteries and charger from an impact driver I picked up along with an extra battery (both also on sale). I have been using these tools fairly frequently for about a year and the Bauer line has held up well and worked flawlessly, I think they are a good bargain for Harry homeowners needs, and especially when you get them on sale. Another great video, I don't buy anything anymore without looking for a video from PF first!

On a side note, I always keep one in my car's trunk with a battery fully charged. You never know when you need it, similar to a road kit.

Great plan.

[@gigglybeast]

I was wondering how safe it is to store a lithium ion battery in a hot car. Also will the heat degrade the battery?

[@KennyBaltz]

I got the Ridgid on sale for $70.00 about 2 years ago. I use it to top off vehicle tires and the lawnmower tires. I have 4 vehicles so about once a month I use it to check all tires and if needed, to top them off while I am there! So very easy to use. What a time saver. Love it!

Hi 👋

[@donkmeister]

That Milwaukee is impressive! I've got the Ryobi (it's my "cheap enough to leave them sat in the boot of the car" brand rather than my first choice of tools) and have been pretty happy with it so far. They also do a small tank compressor that looks interesting for those of us who rarely need compressed air.

[@ProjectFarm]

The Ryobi at around $60 is a nice inexpensive solution if inflation time is not that important (how many times do we really have to inflate tires anyway.. heh).

[@PsychoticBovine]

To me, it seems silly to carry a compressor with a built in battery when your bike already has a big capacity one. I carry the Dynaplug Micro Pro. Very small, well made, and inflates decently.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@awooinubashiri6903]

Those compact inflators seem like they'd be fantastic for mountain biking/camping. Very nice!

[@kecuthbertson]

I personally use a Xiaomi tyre pump for my Motorbike (and car when needed) and I've never had an issue with it. Definitely small enough to take mountain biking, and while it may not be overly quick to pump up a car tyre it does the motorbike tyre reasonably quickly, and would do a mountain bike in no time at all.

[@bakedbeanfanclub]

With a mountain bike I’d just use a hand pump - any of these pumps would be a lot of dead weight to save a small amount of actual work. (Plus you can always use CO2 inflators if you’re desperate and lazy/space constrained)

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@sentienthamster]

I love the Milwaukee. Already had the batteries so it was a no-brainer for me, but the performance has been excellent. One thing not shown or mentioned in this, at least on the Milwaukee, is after a hard pump it has an annoying cooling fan that continues to run for some time after it is done, and you are warned to not power the unit down until that fan cycle completes.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@flat_stickproductions209]

Thats not annoying, I have burned up many pumps before the 'waukee. It has to be the highest quality cordless pump.

Thank you for the tests as always very thorough. I would love a video testing common 13 gallon kitchen trash bags (strength of ties, weight capability, leaking, etc). I've tried so many brands over the years and they all seem to have their own pros and cons.

[@goodun2974]

I used to buy a buyer's club store brand of 13 gallon bags but since the pandemic they have made the bags thinner and the seams and drawstring rip more easily and I now have to stretch them very carefully to get them to fit over the rim of the same can I've been using for a decade. They also don't reach quite to the bottom of the can anymore. Last winter I bought a case of generic Splenda type sweetener packets from the same buyer's club and many of the packets were empty or not completely full. I should have counted all the full and all the empty ones and complained....

We bought the Gooloo pump based on this test and recommendation. It filled 3 SUV tires to 35 psi, and then would no longer pump tires, only turn on, spike the PSI, and immediately shut off. Glad yours held up better, but we'll be returning ours! Would love to see a video and testing on auxiliary transmission coolers, your videos are always incredibly well done and informative!

@CorePathway Nope, it was used to top off a couple tires from 32-33psi to 35psi. Amazon offered to replace it, so we opted for that to try again and haven't had any problems with the new one. I'm assuming we just got a bad unit.

After buying several inexpensive inflators that all died due to overheating, I bought the DeWalt about three years ago. It has worked flawlessly as I have to top off one tire on my Jeep Gladiator about once a month that has a cut in a sidewall. I'll replace all four tires this winter when the tread finally gets low but in the meantime the DeWalt has been perfect.

[@Nick-bb4nk]

Let me get this straight, it has a cut in the sidewall large enough that its losing air, and you go to the store to buy an air compressor?

[@aaronneumeyer5572]

@@Nick-bb4nk Yes, Nick, though that's not the only reason I purchased it. However, to your point, since the tires are nearly four years old and approaching the end of their treadwear life, it makes no sense to replace just one tire for a slow leak that loses only about 1.5 psi a week.

[@briansloat3625]

I've had the Ridgid for awhile and it has not disappointed. It has been very reliable and repeatable to where I don't double check it anymore. It is also not hard on the battery. One charge can completely inflate several tires. The one test I wish you did was how long ( number tires inflated) does the battery last on a charge. It boils down to which battery platform you have. If you have Ridgid, don't hesitate getting the Ridgid.

[@SpidermanandJeny]

I have other rigid tools, but only 2ah batteries. Does this pump work well with such a small battery?

[@TheTwoTwelve]

I have the Ridgid and it's the perfect homeowner pump for someone who is just topping off tires in the winter, refilling a couple bike tires, and occasionally limping a car to a shop with a nail. All these are garbage for hardcore, full refills, but for someone looking for a compact, lightweight upgrade to those crap kit emergency compressors I definitely recommend the Ridgid. It's also much cheaper than described in the video (currently $79 at Home Depot NOT $118).

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@Razor2048]

I currently use the Ridgid tire pump. While it does overinflate slightly depending on the total pressure, after a few minutes when the tire cools down, it basically settles on the set pressure.

I think another very important feature to point out is compressors that use a screw-on chuck are much easier to use on tires that use an inner tube without a fixed stem like bicycles, appliance dollies, etc. than those that use a lever-type chuck. It's always a fight to get a lever-type chuck on a flat bicycle tire.
