In this video I compare the specifications of the M18 Inflator and M18 Compressor. Then I put them head to head in a weigh off, loudness test, and last but not least a tire filling race.

I give you my honest opinion of both units.

Which one is best for you? Watch and see. Here we go!

Stay tuned until the end of the video.  I thank one of my new YouTube subscribers.  It might be you.

I have the inflator, and it has exceeded my expectations. It's super compact, lightweight, and pumps up my tires fast. Can't go wrong.

Thanks so much for this review. Ive been searching for a new inflator because it's cold here in Wisconsin. When I had to fill up my tires a little, my hands were freezing with my 12v portable air inflator. I already have Milwaukee tools, but I never checked to see if they had inflators. I was surprised to see that they had a couple of them which led me to your video. I purchased the newer M18 with the digital screen and it's the best investment I've ever made. Filled my tire up quickly! I also added the quick connect to the hose, so no more screwing it on the tire valve. I don't even have to take off my gloves anymore! I just push it on and pull it off when it's done!

I have the m18 compressor, and I was going to buy a m18 inflator from Home Depot to do a comparison to see which one is faster, as I’m laying on couch waiting for my wife putting on make up I found this video so, no more home depot run. 😂. Thank you sir.

[hunterdillon]

Thanks for making this review! This is the exact information I was looking for. I need the inflator. I run a few different tires, between 80-100psi. No air tools. This is gonna replace that old air tank I would have to fill before I could take it out with me. NO MORE OF THAT! Thanks again!

[JM-mxdr]

Finally a honest person that gives a true test. Well done sir.

Great video. There's a special right now at Homedepot, two M18 battery plus charger and this inflator is free. We'll be picking it up. Thanks for sharing!

[Elliott]

your videos are very well done: to the point, relevant points and loaded with excellent information to help potential buyers, thank you!

I have the m12 inflator. It is awesome for its intended purpose but if you need something for more than just inflating tires, the choice is clear. But I bought the inflator because I was tired of charging my compressor, untangling the air hose and playing with pressure gauge just to inflate a tire.

[gabeg]

Thanks a lot, first video I’ve seen comparing them! I’ve been waiting

[jerryc]

I have the compressor and use it to blow off debris on what ever I am working on. Works great for nailers also. I use my M12 inflator for the tires.

[mediocreman]

One thing not mentioned is duty cycle. The compressor can be run as long as you have batteries. The inflator can go for 20 minutes and then needs a 40 minute rest. That's not bad, considering you'll probably get all 4 tires on a car done in 20 minutes. For comparison, the Ryobi P747 does 5 on and 5 off.

[bikeradam]

I just got the inflator, i added a 1.5gal portable air tank. It kind of works like a compressor and is awesome at cleaning up the tools at the end of the day

[jfink]

1 must mention: when using m18 inflator you should account for small air reduction when unhooking hose. Definitely a plus when needing to expel excess or deflate (simply half unscrew chuck)

[bennytorres]

Thank you for the information, I own the m18 fuel compressor and was looking to buy the inflator but you answered my question, thank you

[plunder]

I've seen the Inflator fill almost 25 tyres of various sizes & types on one 18Ah battery. It's a fantastic compact mobile tool. For that application it's perfect.

[estilomax]

I like your video straight to the point not like others thanks.

[plrx]

New Subscriber, Pete Ross. Your video clarifies the inflator to be carried in the truck and the compressor for home/roof use for you. The outstanding feature about the inflator is that you can set the desired psi and walk away.

[Rostymakesvideos]

Would've loved to see the video with the compressor empty before starting to fill the tire. That way we have a true test of time.

[tonyt]

I would like to see how long it takes to fill the compressor? Then add it to total time. The inflator is ready to go from the start and don't need time to build air. Total time would be a more fair fight.

[fouronefivah]

great video, just what i wanted to see between the 2. thanks!
