Unboxing the Makita 18v Inflator - DON'T BUY THIS INFLATOR UNTIL YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!

[@inciderinfo]

One of the most useful Makita cordless tools I have.

[@tgltoday2717]

The coordless inflator is one of mine as well. I've always got one with me.

[@countryside_hobbies]

For bigger tyres, there is bigger model (DMP181Z) available with about double output. The smaller one is handy with bicycles, wheelbarrows etc... just select the right one to your needs.

[@chrisE815]

Bonus tip for those in an area with road salt: if you have never dropped your spare tire before- drop your spare, check the pressure and BEFORE you lift it again, fluid film the HELL out of the wheel, mechanism and underside of the truck bed.

[@tgltoday2717]

That's a great idea. I was just spraying some penetrating oil in there but I might have to get a can of fluid film to use instead. Thanks.

6:52 If you know of a gas station that has am air compressor with the forward and reversed dual air nozzle head you can skip this spare tire removal all together. You may spend $1.00 for air but it saves you time lowering the spare tire.

[@tgltoday2717]

I've never really looked to see what they have but I will. Thanks

[@doorguru168888]

It's not a good idea to put air in your tire when it's on the rack. On my Silverado, it caused too much tension on the cable, so when I tried to lower it, it just clicked. I had to let air out to get the excessive tension off the cable so I could lower it.

[@duncan1945]

Had mine a long time. best Makita tool I've had.

[@tgltoday2717]

That's awesome to hear. I know the inflator is a tool I use way to often lol

[@sizif717]

It is a pretty good inflator for it's size, you can just throw it anywhere in the car. Feels like Makita quality all the way. Providing you have some Makita 18v batteries - it is not so expensive either. The biggest drawback is that you have to always press the trigger (solvable with some kind of a tie). There are newer models (18v and 40v), much bigger and heavier - but have twice the power and the speed of that.

[@tgltoday2717]

Agreed. Standard makita, gets the job done day in and day out without issues. I saw they have a newer 18v model. I may buy that one next. It looks pretty nice from the little research I did on it.

[@sizif717]

@@tgltoday2717 I just bought the 40V one. Have not used it a lot. It is HUGE compared to the 18V one, did not imagine it to be so big. But if you are inflating big truck tires - probably will be worth it for you. I kind of fancy more the 40v stick vacuum cleaner that I also got. Same size as the Brushless 18V model - 3 times the power!

[@tgltoday2717]

@@sizif717 I'll have to check the 40v out now. I 'm real curious how much bigger it is and how it does on bigger truck tires. I would think with it being so much bigger and 40v that it should be able to handle a truck tire pretty good. Thank you for the feedback.

[@Kingoftheslams2020]

I own one and hated having to always hold the trigger, piece of velcro and it hasn’t been an issue in over a year. Highly recommended

[@doorguru168888]

This particular model is more of a hobby type model. Do yourself a favor and buy the much more advanced Makita DMP181ZX. FYI: Never inflate a tire while it's on the rack. If it was too low and you fill it up, it will cause tension on your cable, so when you try to lower it, it will just click. If that happens, let air out of it and. try to lower it again.

[@tgltoday2717]

I'm guessing the DMP 181zx is the newer model to the one that I showed here? I've heard good things about that one and I do actually want to try it out. Thanks for the tip.

[@dunnjun]

Just got mine. The box looked like it had been to Ukraine. No directions, and when I try to inflate a tire, it keeps shutting off and showing +/- 64 lbs. . Finally, after reseating the air connector multiple times, I got an air pressure reading that was believable. After I hit the desired air pressure on the Makitas' gauge I double checked it with my longacre autox air gauge. 3 lbs under. I was hoping this was the perfect autox air compressor. The search continues.

[@tgltoday2717]

Wow! Sorry to hear you had so much problems with yours. I did see that Makita made a newer version and from what I've read it's a lot better than this one. I've not actually seen it yet. So maybe take a look at that one.

[@dunnjun]

No problem. I bought it before I saw your video. I'm glad most of these Makitas do what they're supposed to do, and do it well apparently. Mine looked abused judging by the condition of the box. @@tgltoday2717 Good video.

[@tgltoday2717]

@dunnjun I totally agree. Most of the Makitas do a great job. It's hard to have the best of every tool. We will have to let this one slide lol I once bought a tool and then found out it was a return that didn't work. Thankfully the store believed me. Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@tgltoday2717]

I just saw the new 160psi Makita last week. It looks pretty nice but like you said, chunky indeed. That stinks the 12v didn't work for you. I've been hesitant on 12v tools like that. Thank you for sharing.

[@dnineteen1647]

I think I'm getting the high-pressure version for Christmas. I like everything about the unit except that you have to hold the trigger down during the inflation. I'm guessing they did it that way, so you're less likely to burn it up.. 🤷‍♂️ I used my buddy's Ryobi the other day. Set it and forget it. It was really nice! Does anyone really know why Makita left that feature out? Thank for the video! I assumed would have that feature. Makita is usually on top of their game.

[@tgltoday2717]

I agree. I think the high pressure one is going to be really nice. I've not actually used it but it looks good. I also think they might have just left that feature off not to burn it up but once you use the Ryobi or the rigid and they shut off when they're supposed to, it really makes paying all the money for the Makita hard in my opinion. I love everything else about Makita just not this. If you get the high pressure, let me know what you think of it.

[@wealthfinder192]

A few things. 1. It would be interesting to see if it improved with the 6ah Battery. I know with a drill, the bigger the more power you get so maybe the faster. Also how much longer it would take with a 3ah battery. 2. Decibels is good but when stuck you wont care as long as it works. I bought a jump starter kit, the little jump starter that is good for 20 jump starts. It came with a tire pump and I thought wow thats cool. It said don't pump for longer than 15 minutes, I thought "Who is going to pump for 15 minutes?" My sons bike tire needed blowing up so I thought here's a chance to try it out. pfffffffffffff. Ok now I see why it said 15 minutes.

[@tgltoday2717]

That would be a great test to see with a 6ah. I actually really want to know now. I unfortunately don't have any. Haha yes, the 15 minutes. Like you said, in a pinch no one cares about noise. I can only imagine how long it would take one of these to blow a truck tire up from start to finish lol Thanks for watching.

[@doorguru168888]

A higher amp battery will. give you no more power or make it pump faster than a lower amp one. 18 volts is 18 volts The tool is engineered to use a certain amount of amperage and no more. . However, it will decrease how often you have to change to a new battery.

[@BohumirZamecnik]

Where is the reason not to buy?

[@tgltoday2717]

I'm not a fan of the way this performs and the lack of auto run feature. For the price of this tool compared to less expensive ones that work significantly better like the Ridgid and the Ryobi. I love Makita and I have a ton of Makita tools. This is just my least favorite Makita product that I've used. Now I have been told that they've updated this inflator and it's significantly better. I've not tried it or seen it for myself. For the money of this inflator if you're thinking about getting it unless you get it on a super clearance deal, I would recommend not buying it.

[@BohumirZamecnik]

@tgltoday2717 I chose this one over Bosch Easypump for inflating motorcycles at home or possibly on trip. It seems to be more powerful/sturdy, although a bit heavier. I already have the 12V battery setup. It can still be carried for a longer trip. Also it's cheaper than a bit shop compressor, it can measure pressure and stop at set valued and is portable. The price (below $80) was just slightly higher than the Bosch Easypump (cca $65). I would truat it more than the tiny cheap Chinese boxes (~$20).

[@tgltoday2717]

Yes, ever since I got one of these portable inflators I can't imagine not having one. Like you said when you're just blowing up tires not having to have a big shop compressor and not to mention how many times you go out to the shed and the lawn mower tire is flat in the springtime or the snow blower tire goes flat just anything. I absolutely love having a portable one and I take it on road trips as well lol

[@helpallofem4428]

I have the Ridgid and the Makita. The Ridgid is waaay faster but I have no problem using the Makita for lawn mower tires and the Ridgid for large tires and yes, the Makita is way quieter. Overall I would buy the Ridgid I were to need one. But I have tons of tools and batteries from both brands so am not locked in to one brand or the other . I switched back to Makita tools after using Ridgid because the lifetime guarantee is now a pain as you have to take the tool an hour away from me to have it repaired so no good for me and Makita was my 35 year choice of tools before Ridgid and I wait till they have sales on the Makita tools and get them for 1/2 price.

[@tgltoday2717]

It's crazy how fast that Ridgid is. I've heard the new way for Ridgid is a pain but I also heard it is supposed to be getting easier so we will see how that turns out. Makita is also my tool of choice for most tools but like you said, I never buy then unless they are in sale. Glad to hear you are liking both inflators. Thanks for watching.

[@jean-pierredejon7458]

At least the nozzle head is metal compared to competators.

I have multiple Makita tools as well and they're my preferred tool except this one. I'm glad someone understands what I'm talking about lol because there were a lot of Makita people that did not like this video. I've never used the DeWalt in person, but I would imagine it's pretty nice. Given DeWalt typically makes nice stuff in my opinion. I saw they have a newer version of this 18 volt inflator and I may get that at some point.

[@foff1972]

TGL ignore the hater comments on here! Decent enough video, what do people expect? Anyways I just bought this tool myself prior to watching this video and I'm thoroughly not impressed (with this tool). This is NOT Makita quality at all. I'm probably sending mine back. I put 30 pounds of air in my wife's car tires then come back and recheck them with a gauge and they're all at 30 but one is at 25. And the Makita display hits 30 pounds and then keeps running for at least another minute. Plus the missing lock on button is just such a huge mistake. Makita stuff used to be fool-proof and of the highest quality "Made in Japan". Now, sadly, it's becoming more and more like Ryobi MADE IN CHINA/ average junk. Don't spend $100+ on this just because it uses the 18 volt batteries.

[@tgltoday2717]

Thanks Joseph. I'm glad you found the video helpful. I'm a big Makita guy, but I have a wide variety of tool brands because I know that not one manufacturer no matter how good they are, can make the best of everything. If this Makita was only $50, then I could see it being a good deal but not at $100plus price tag it normally sells for. I did see that they have an updated newer model from this one and the specs make it look like its a lot nicer. I've also read good things about it. I want to give that one a try but my I really like my $35 Ryobi. Thanks for watching and if you decide to get the newer 18v Makita, let me know what you think of it.

[@foff1972]

@@tgltoday2717 I agree, Makita "overall" is a great power tool company, possibly the best (though everyone has their opinions). I own Makita and a bunch of different brands, too, without one brand loyalty. For example, Bosch makes the smoothest jigsaw on earth so I pay the premium and use the Bosch jigsaw. I was looking for a great inflator but this one isn't it. I just feel like the Makita of old (the Makita that built that amazing brand) would have never let this tool go to market like this. Like you said if it was half the price or less than MAYBE it's a keeper but why buy 2nd rate equipment? I'm definitely not hating on Makita though, but if someone working for them reads this then all the better. Peace

I use it for everything. The inflator works fine I just dont think it's a good value as the ryobi I have is a lot nicer in terms of how it works and it's basically the same speed. The ridgid is so much faster and both the ryobi and ridgid are a lot less money. I'm a makita guy so I was expecting for the $100, it would be a lot better them those two cheaper ones and it's not. I got the ryobi for $35 and the ridgid was just on sale for $50. I never saw the makita go on sale. At those prices the ridgid has the lifetime service agreement and you can guy 3 ryobi and 2 ridgids if they were to die for the price of one Makita. I was expecting since its Makita for it to be nicer then the cosumer brands. I did see that makita has a newer 18v inflator supposed to be a lot better so one day if my ryobi dies I will get the newer Makita and see what it can do.

I'd rather spend three minutes inflating a low tire than 30 minutes driving to a gas station and paying for air.

[@tgltoday2717]

Agreed.

Meting is verkeerd. Totaal nutteloze film.

It's strain relief ffs. If you don't know the basics is your review worth anything at all?

[@michaelwerbick]

OK... the spring is a strain relief so you do not ruin the hose. Also, never say "i'm told" when doing a review. Figure it out FIRST

Dishonest review. You used their smallest AH batteries. Use even one size up like 5ah, and it would work just fine.

[@tgltoday2717]

If you watch the Video when I do the test, you will see that I have the 5ah battery on the inflator. At the 9:39 mark in the video I show and tell you that I used the 5ah battery and that it was fully charged.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Are you aware the new model is the 181 and is double the speed ? Lol

[@tgltoday2717]

No, I didn't know they had a newer model. I could only find this one at Home Depot and I also looked at tractor supply. How long ago did they come out with the 181? That's good to hear that its twice the speed. I'm now searching for it.

It's more powerful with an improved duty cycle, but still has the same idiotic design that requires the trigger to be depressed.

@@mediocreman2 I want to try the new one out. I've been watching for it to go on sale. I was hoping they would have fixed that trigger on this newer one. Darn.

Unboxing on a dewalt table. Fan boy biased review!

[@tgltoday2717]

Haha I'm definitely more of a Makita guy then a DeWalt guy but that DeWalt table is really nice and handy. I have a lot of both brand tools I will say.

[@colinpoole7653]

You bought a bare inflator. What else did you expect to find in the box. I have this tool and it’s been brilliant. You bought this wanting it to be bad. Bad review and even worse reviewer

[@tgltoday2717]

I bought this expecting to retire my Ryobi inflator and was disappointed that at the time I bought them, the ryobi costed $35 and the Makita costed $99. The inflator works fine but my point was for $99, I was expecting it to be way better then the home owner Ryobi. And yes, I've had the Ryobi a while now and it gets a good amount of use and still works great. I did see that Makita has since come out with a newer model and it looks like it's way better then this one I reviewed. Thanks for watching.

I love this tool. I dislike this video.

I dislike you!! Instead of complaining why don't you make your own video?
