Your videos are really interesting and I am enjoying they are not biased. I have a suggestion for the followings: Some of the dual power 12v/120v tire inflators (optional battery) + preset PSI auto-shutoff : 1. CRAFTSMAN V20 Inflator (CMCE520B) 2. Avid Power Tire Inflator Air Compressor, 12V DC / 110V AC Dual Power Tire Pump (ACAP322) 3. JACO SmartPro 2.0 AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator 4. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator, Cordless & Corded Power (BDINF20C) 5. Slime Dual Power Tire Inflator (120V/12V) 6. TACKLIFE A6 PLUS Tire Inflator 7. DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator (DCC020IB) connected to ac through the N557514 power supply plus any other pump you think is good to try. Interested in: 1. Time to pump a tire 0 to 35 psi. 2. Time to pump a tire 0 to 80 psi. 3. Accuracy of the gauge when the pump is not pumping. (The difference between the gauge and a calibrated gage) 4. Consistency of the gauge (showing almost the same result when tried a few times even if it is off by some PSI) (metric: Standard deviation) 5. Accuracy of the auto-shutoff at correct PSI. 6. Running time before turns off because of getting hot. 7. Build quality if possible. Thanks!

[@martinschuessler1936]

I have the Milwaukee M12 and it's hands-down one of the best purchases I've made. I have two compressors, one is a 3HP that's stored in the back shed and rarely sees use, and I have a cheapo $50 pancake compressor that I've been using to inflate tires. That unit is aggravating as it takes forever to fill and only has a small capacity. On top of that, it's just a "dumb" compressor and you frequently need to check the tire pressure. That Milwaukee is the best thing since sliced cheese for passenger and lite truck tires. No extension cords, and it fill tires fast and easy. I now keep my tires inflated properly because it's trivial to pull this little unit off the wall and air them up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

[@eyesalooking]

I bought the Milwaukee M12 and it is fast compared to the one I have that has to be plugged in to charge. Also it is very portable so it will stay in my truck to keep the tires topped off.

[@jivepatrol6833]

My friend - I was in the market for a new tire inflator and will buy the Pittsburgh unit from Harbor Freight. It is the first and only product I have ever bought from Harbor Freight. I watched your two videos and saw that you tore down the unit and it had largely metal as opposed to Nylon 66 type components. I have a lower pressure passenger car application and don't care if it takes a few more minutes to inflate the tire no problem. My issue with these lithium battery powered units is that batteries are not standardized and thus I have proliferation of batteries and chargers. In any case, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to test all of these units using a sound methodology and that you are independent and do not accept compensation from manufacturers or other 3rd parties. You are saving viewers a great deal of time and money. I don't buy anything without searching your videos to see if you have tested something first. Thank You! 🙂🙂

I have two tires with slow leaks, I got tired of spending $2 for air, and the pump didn't even work half the time. So after reading about the problems with the cheaper units available, I get the DeWalt. No regrets at all! Fairly quick, accurate, easy to use, no cool down time necessary, runs on battery or 12v plug in lighter. I also find out I saved $80!

I'm going to update a review I left on Hot Shot Diesel Secret. The HSDS EXTREME is even better. Not connected to them in any way at all. Canadian trucker who transitioned into a niche branch of transportation and using 911 as fuel additive in winter to keep the company happy doing "due diligence" in N Dakota, MN etc almost killed 2 guys I work with and one of mine froze up south of Grand Junction,ND couple years back because I didn't have this stuff at the time. We fly a lot. Can't transport this stuff like a trucker living in a rig. Not even sure you'll get this stuff ordering online now shipped with everything going on now. The ONLY truck stop I know of that sells this specific formulation is the Flying J in W Bismarck,ND 5 miles up the road from the manufacturer. They really NAILED this product!!! I went with Standadyne Performance for my Jetta TDI and it aint bad as your tests demonstrated for lubricity/anti gelling properties. But it comes in second for a reason. Made in America is getting harder to find at a very real cost to everyone now. The personal $ you spend testing products truly independently is very much appreciated but I honestly think Hot Shot should contact you with some sort of remuneration/sponsorship. The emissions systems added to diesels now along with COSTLY bound to fail parts and repairs make personal diesels stupid at this point. But commercial vehicles aren't EV anytime soon. You help a LOT of people with your channel! If this gets you a sideline income as a distributor for a genuinely GOOD product it's a win/win for both parties duly owed in my opinion. If America goes down we are all fucked!!! The sooner we start co-operating the better. Canada right now is Weimer Germany in '38. Many are trying to fight it now but it's an uphill battle. Todd.

Nice job in empirical testing to compare these air pumps. I especially liked your testing of time to inflate, pressure accuracy, sound level in decibels, and heat. This is what independent and factual testing is all about. Well Done!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@bryanblake8607]

I always enjoy your tool test videos. Now coming from a over the road truck driver, the biggest thing I see as far as break downs is tire flats, so please keep a good air compressor, impact or breaker bar with appropriate socket and a jack you can easily use.

[@zeroelus]

I'd add pliers and a set of tire plugs to that list. Recently upgraded our family ride and got a nice breaker bar and an adapter for the included jack so that it would be compatible with the same socket as the lug nuts used. Not 5 days later on a road trip I had to use them for the first time. Breaking loose the lug nuts was a non issue and removing the debris, plugging the tire and letting it set was a 10 min job, but inflating the tire was a 20 min ordeal with the pump I had (which is why I'm on this video, getting the Ryobi). I'll later on get an impact wrench to be able to use it with the adapter on the jack and hopefully reduce the 2 slowest parts of tire change next time!

@@ProjectFarm I think you got a bad one - I have what looks like a rebranded one here in UK (cost 29.99 GBP) and it's great. Also, the 10 mins you have for inflation was actually to 48PSI so not a real comparison to the others. I think you just got unlucky with a dodgy pressure sensor. I'll give mine a go and see how it does.

I do carry one, it's a $9.99 pump from family dollar. it's shitty but it paid itself back since i bought it i've never paid to gas stations for air again. i think foot pump is even a better idea. one of those and a good quality jump starter is wise to have in the car all the times. they can pay themselves back very quickly.

[@snoopdogie187]

I have one, but that is because I didn't have the correct size spare tire, which left me stuck if I ever got a flat, which happened once. Now I have a tire plug kit and air pump with me, as well as a spare tire. I'm not getting stuck anymore.

[@gettintheresafelywithpatf2869]

If we carried everything that we need for “just in case” we would either need a larger van or a tag along trailer everywhere we go!, first aide kits, blankets, change of clothes, stable food sources, extra hygiene products, then stuff for these contraptions we drive around, and just because the car is newer, doesn’t mean that crap can’t happen! Oh I just remembered the flairs, that are illegal for motorists to use in some states, but you can have them for the police to use, and still have to pay the fine! Most states request flairs, but won’t use reflectors, at the scene of an accident even if gas is on the road... go figure!

I watched you use the Bauer brand on here which is built similar to the Hudson Pro and saw that the directions were wrong. I switched the power to (I) and it switched over to the tire inflator.
