Dewalt 20v Cordless Inflator

[Den69rs96]

Anyone have one? I have a couple Dewalt cordless tools already so I want to stick with the same battery platform. I read some reviews and people seem to like it. How long does it last on say a 5ah battery? Does it struggle with truck tires? I have a cheap CP one I bought at tractor supply and I want to put that one in my wife’s car. It works fine, but the cord limits where I can use it and I doubt it will work well with LT tires on a pick up truck. I was looking at the Dewalt because it’s cordless and has the dc cord as a backup option as well. It would allow me to fill up tires on my travel trailer in an emergency, fill up the float tubes while camping, or add a few psi back into my rear tires after a few passes at the track.

I have two them, one at home and one at the shop. Use a 4ah battery both places. Has not let me down. Inflates any tire flawlessly. Highly recommend.

Can you set the pressure were you want and it'll shut off?

 

[Can I try?]

I have it. I like it. It serves it's purpose. I prefer it over a 12v corded inflator.

I especially like the automatic PSI setting, just set your target pressure and it'll stop when it reaches that mark, then move on to the next tire, no need to reset the PSI. That feature makes it easy to multi-task.

I used it for a total of about 30 minutes runtime last weekend. I know this because per the manual, I gave it a cool down rest after each 10-minute interval. I started with a fully charged 5 AH battery. When I finished, the battery had dropped from three lights to two on its gauge. Also during that time I used it to inflate a 265/70-17 tire from an F150 that was completely flat. It took 13-14 minutes to take that tire up to 40 PSI.

If you're already in the Dewalt 20v system, then I'd recommend getting the inflator.

Yes - although one thing I have noticed is that if you set it to a low pressure (i.e. 7 PSI) it'll inflate much more slowly than if you set it to a higher pressure. Presumably this is to make it easier to inflate smaller low-pressure applications, but is a bit of a PITA if you're trying to use it on something like a tractor tire.

I went with the 60v pancake compressor. If you are realistic with what it is, it is pretty sweet. Will air tires up to 80 psi pretty quick. Works good with a blow gun for say cleaning radiators out in the field. I can't see it running an air tool worth a ****, but I didn't buy it for that.

I am very happy with the 20V Dewalt compressor.

 

[Den69rs96]

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I think I'll pick one up.

I think that is a little to big to store under the rear bench seat in my truck. I'm basically going to use it for emergencies or if I need to inflate something while were camping.

As others have said - quite happy with mine.

We use it alot in the summer time.

Well, I ended up getting one without the charger or battery. I used it last night and I am definitely impressed with it. Its much faster than I thought and worlds better than the CP one I bought at Tractor Supply for 35 bucks years ago.

Two years ago, I bought a small 2 gallon 110psi husky air compressor just for tires. While the Husky fills them up much faster, I still have to wait for the tank to fill up so it doesn't save much time unless I have multiple tires to fill.

Same here, 100% positive experience. Having bought the Miliwaukee M12 Inflator before, I can state that the DeWALT is quieter, faster, and easier to use due to its dial based psi selector, rather than a "+" and "-" sign. around $30 pricyer though, I got mine when it was on sale.

The accuracy of the DeWALT is 0.5 PSI as opposed to 1 PSI. They both seem to pump slightly higher than what you set as to compensate for the air that escapes when you pull the hose off.

Both have screw on hose instead of a lock-on tab, personally I find it to be more secure as lock on style tends to leak, though if you ever find a valve that doesn't have threads you won't be able to inflate it.

They make adaptors so it doesn't have to screw on
