Why it ranks here. The fastest cordless inflator its owners have tried: four truck tyres from 19 to 32 psi at eighty seconds each on one bar of battery, an auto shut-off they trust, a memory for your last pressure, and a build that survived being run over. A former Ryobi owner calls it literally perfect.
It is the most expensive thing here and only makes sense if you already own Milwaukee batteries, though kits with batteries and a charger go on sale. Semi-truck tyres take too much battery power.
What owners like
- Fastest cordless
- Quiet, with pressure memory
- Survived being run over
What owners complain about
- Most expensive
- Only worth it on Milwaukee batteries
- Not for semi tyres
“Had mine for about a year now and I can attest to is durability, I ran it over about a month ago and it still works just as it did since I got it. Tried it on my semi tires but takes too much battery power so sticking to everything else. HOOAH!!!” — YouTube comment · @sheepdoglogic · 2022-04-07

I purchased the Milwaukee M18 inflator based on the PF review when it became a Home Depot special buy of the day. Best inflator ever!

I bought the Milwaukee M18 3 years ago from your recommendation... it's still a champ.

I picked up the Milwaukee after watching this video. I absolutely love it. It is fast and is very well built. My 5-amp battery last a very long time. I really like the memory function as well. It fits nicely inside the small section of my under-seat storage compartment in my '21 GMC Sierra.

Even though the Milwaukee is expensive, the ability to quickly inflate a tire sitting along side the road makes it a must have. Would also make a big difference in a "slow leak" situation. And as always.. Great Video!!!!

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

I got one of these the other day and its awesome, I've used some ryobi inflators before and they are super loud, slow, and vibrate like crazy. Not the m18 though, its literally perfect.

I just picked up this bad boy today and topped up my Ram 1500 tires and my Trailer tires. all on a 5 amp/HR battery that had 3 bars and got the job done. Trailer tires went from 50 to 65 and my Truck tires were 4-10 psi low. No extension cords and or long hose from the Garage. Super impressed, love this tool!

I have the Milwaukee M18 inflator and it takes me 80 seconds per tire to go from 19 to 32 psi with a tire size of 265/65/17. So about 5.5 minutes of inflation with a duty cycle around 25 minutes, and it only uses one bar of battery after filling all 4 tires.

MKE M12 is great. Shuts off when goal pressure is reached
