CRAZY Fast Pocket Inflator - Tested on Everything that Inflates! Fanttik X8 Apex

World's fastest pocket-sized tire inflator available today. I test it on everything it can inflate to see if its worth buying. Handy to stop wasting time at the gas station and inflate, tires, toys, bikes and anything else with a hole.

Click the USE COUPON box to take off $20, then at check out use the code: X8APEX35 and this will add another $10 off for a total of $30 off the price.

Fanttik sent me this inflator at no charge and if you decide to buy it through the link on Amazon I earn a small but VERY appreciated commission and if you don't buy it, that's ok too, I hope you found the video interesting. Thanks for watching!

I remember when "service" stations took that notion seriously and had free air pumps. You didn't even have to buy any gas from them, though I usually did just to be nice. When they started charging, I bought my own from Sears.

Nice review! This looks like a great option for taking to the race track for a weekend, where you’re constantly checking and tweaking tire pressures. Small, light, easy to pack and easy to pass around the paddock to friends.

PSA : to avoid burning out your pump, use for 8 minutes, off for 5 mins, etc. The machine will last for years.

I have a 12V digital inflater which just plugs in the 12V socket of the car.
Its pretty quick and will run for hours off the car battery.
It only cost £10.

I just got one, and love it, its not super loud, and love being able screw the hose onto the valve stem, and that the display shows the current pressure, it is already set to 35 PSI out of the box. Got to use it today, works great

Thank you for this review - I almost pulled the trigger when I could have gotten one of these for $59 on sale but didn't know if it was going to be robust enough for my use. I have 4 bikes one of which is a fat tire that is a monster to fill by hand. At home I have a compressor but on the road all I carry is a co2 inflator - fun fact - it takes 8 to 10 - 12 grain co2 cartridges to fill one of these tires all the way so the one or two I carry is only enough to get me somewhere with an air pump. This little bad boy, while a bit more expensive than the $59 I could have spent looks to be right on the money for me. My tires are always needing air on one bike or another and this would be a great little tool to add to the pile.

I'd seen emails about this recently, and was curious...so it's nice seeing the video pop up. I didn't catch any mention of how loud it is, though...some of them can be a ridiculous level.

I am not worried about inflating tires that are completely flat, that rarely happens. I am not concerned if this inflator can accurately measure pressure, I have a pressure gauge that I always use. I also don't need a light. All I care about is that this device can top off the air in my tires at a reasonable speed so I don't have to drive down to my compressor and get out my air hose to fill our tires, that I can bring it on trips, and that 10 years from now it will still work. I think I want one.

This may be a feasible option if you're looking so save space. I currently carry around a Ryobi inflator/deflator in my off-road gear. That works well for me, and it's very accurate. The last time I used re-filled three of my tires PSI were spot on, while on was .5lbs lighter. One battery is way more than enough for a trip, but I still take an extra one or two with me.

I use the 12v cigarette port and the harbor freight inflator. Works like a charm. Everyone should also learn how to plug their tires too since cars don't come with spares anymore.

[ThisTall]

This thing looks great. For those people concerned about the digital gauges being off by a lb or 2. This is often because in these little units get red hot and by the time they’re half way through a tire and the air expands cause it’s red hot.

[JustWastedHoursHere]

Looks nice but going to half charge after one inflation means that the claim that it can inflate 4 fully deflated tires on one charge is unlikely. Still, it seems to be a nice unit.

I use the Milwaukee M12 inflator and it saved my butt numerous times. I have a bunch of M12 tools already so buying the bare inflator runs less than $100.
I use it with a 6 amp battery and it can fill several tires before a recharge.
Lighted Display, auto shut off, and on-board tools too. It's a great tool.

I have a $15 analog tire inflator from a chain store that works very well plugged into the cigar socket, a bit noisy but it does the job. You can get to a safer place to change the wheel or insert a plug, but even get home if you are not too far away.

[Leonardokite]

I have a Ryobi inflator. The tool only was $35. It is rated for 165 lb and when I used it to temporarily pump up an airplane strut it made it to 180 lb. Not nearly as compact as that unit but very fast and efficient.

[chrisnash]

The one thing you didn’t cover and I guess it’s a moot point because you were only able to fill two tires before the battery was about dead, but that has to do with overheating after a certain amount of time. Most of the small units can’t run longer than about 20 minutes because they will overheat, then you have to wait 30 minutes or more for them to cool down to use again.

Although a much more expensive option, I opted to get the Milwaukee cordless 2 gal air compressor and a 12 Ah battery. 6 bills for the set, but it’s an excellent portable air compressor to do work around the house. When it comes to tires I can easily fill up a set of truck tires with no problem.

The small portable tire inflators are a great solution if you’re in a pinch or on a tight budget and don’t have a practical use for one, but I would not recommend any of them if you can afford the cost, have room and can have a use for a small cordless air compressor.

[johnree]

It wasn't tested on my ego and that needs to be inflated.

Good review and I seen many of these types of devices and I do wonder as most of them over inflated because as you released a bit of air escaped sort of compensate for the air pressure released when I tested with a different pressure reader it was set to the pressure I set.

[eyalpery]

Excellent video, so detailed! Thank you!

[MK-bknl]

Really good video. Freezing temps here, I need to fill my tires.

[xgtmg]

Air around here is free at most gas stations, or 75 cents for the ones that charge, and only takes a few seconds to fill my tires. I keep a 12 volt inflator in the trunk that works well and was dirt cheap. I can't imagine any scenario where I would need this tool.
