Ryobi ONE 18v High Pressure Air Pump

[Beemer]

Picked one up last week. What a great pump. It has a digital display to set the cut out pressure that worked without issue. The box notes it's intended for bike and vehicle tires, sports balls and the likes and it;s standard connection is for schrader valves but it comes with adapters for presta valves, a needle valve and a cone shaped nozzle.
HD has them for about $30 which is $10 off.

We had far too many bicycles with flats so I worked my way through the stable in no time; two road bikes and 5 mountain bikes.
Road bikes might have taken 10 to 15 seconds per tire to inflate and the mountain bikes about twice that. I can imagine it will also do motorcycle and yard equipment quickly too.

Sure beats dragging all those things into the garage to the compressor.
I had considered getting a portable air tank but this beats that for sure because it weighs very little and is self sufficient.

My good friend has the same inflator, and I often use it on my car when I’m at his place. The lock on the Schrader valve connection felt a bit stiff, but overall, I like how portable it is.

If I wasn't invested in the DeWalt eco-system I'd get it for sure.

I have the Ryobi inflator. I'm 90% DeWalt, but I bought the Ryobi vacuum, since the DeWalt isn't very good, and there was some sort of Home Depot holiday deal to get two batteries, a charger, and two tools, so I ended up with the vacuum and a hedge clipper for, IIRC, less than $250. So, then I bought the inflator when I got tired of dragging the air hose around outside. I'm sure the DeWalt inflator is much better, but the Ryobi is tiny, costs less than half as much, and I'm just using it at home to top off 4 tires every few months. I have a monster air compressor, but my truck sits outside; to add air to the truck tires I have to move the car out of the garage, drag out the hose, move the truck.....

I recently got the Milwaukee inflator since that's the tools I have. Really fast, easy to use. So much simpler than dragging air hoses or portable tanks to leaky tractor or trailers.

This inflator is my most used cordless tool by far. It's fantastic for keeping a fleet of motorcycles topped up.

Pretty fast, too. I paid full price, but it was still a bargain.

I have both styles of the Ryobi inflator and also a 18v Makita one. Having a tool battery powered inflator has been super handy, I use mine constantly. Weird use recently was testing a handful of old mechanical oil pressure gauges and sensors. Worked great. Also use them a lot out in the middle of nowhere when messing with barn find cars and motorcycles.

I'll add that the set pressure readout on my Ryobi is off by 1-2 psi. But I just added a label on it to add 2 PSI, or whatever. It's easier for me to overfill by 1 PSI and let out a bit of air as I always check with a dial gauge that's accurate after inflating.

 

[WildBill]

Both my Ryobi ones are high by 2-4 psi, the read correctly when not running but overfill when running. I just set them about 3 psi high to compensate.

When inflating and the tires get to not being flat, I don't sweat a few pounds one way or the other.
If it's important I'll bring a pressure gauge.
