DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Tire Inflator

Product Information

Even the best tire inflators need a power source. A 12.0-V adapter means a portable tire inflator can plug into your car’s cigarette lighter. Some battery-powered car air pumps can be used away from the vehicle, but the extra battery and a charger usually come at a premium or are sold separately. The DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Tire Inflator is a solid choice if you’re looking for brand name and performance. This beast has enough attachments to handle most vehicle tires and other inflatables, and the preset gauge is simple to use. The product is wonderful if you don’t mind spending extra money on one of the best portable air compressor tire inflators on the market. Our product testing team believes that the Fanttik X8 Apex Tire Inflator is the best tire inflator that money can buy due to its superior inflation speed and a long list of features. The stylish neo-industrial design of the tiny Viair 88P is visually and ergonomically appealing. Moreover, the 88P impressed the Gear Team with remarkably fast tire inflation, significantly outperforming most of the other competitors. Unfortunately, its sole power supply—connecting directly to the car battery with alligator clips—and charming-but-wonky analog gauge hinder its usefulness for everyday drivers.

Aside from inflating tires, the essential feature of a tire inflator is that it reads tire pressure, ensuring you’re not over-inflating the tires once you release airflow. Many tire inflators also feature an automatic shutoff feature, which guarantees you don’t exceed maximum pressure. Ease of Use : The fact that the Fanttik X8 Apex is a cordless tire inflator makes a world of difference. This tire inflator was incredibly easy to use throughout our testing process, as we didn’t need to connect the device to the car charger or an outlet. We simply pre-set our desired psi, connected the device to the tire valve, and watched our tires inflate to the exact psi we wanted thanks to the auto shut-off feature. Unfortunately, despite its power, this bulky unit isn't practical for daily transport. Is it "portable"? Sure, it can be moved wherever you need it. But could you keep it in your trunk in case of emergencies? Not unless you drive a Crown Vic. Another big downside is that it relies solely on Milwaukee's M18 Li-ion battery, which isn't included.Four types of preset inflation modes are easy to cycle between and view on the tire inflator’s large LED screen. An included manual mode allows users to personalize their experience based on the inflation object and desire pressure. A USB-C input port allows you to recharge this tire inflator at your convenience and means you won’t be fighting with cables as you inflate your car’s tires.

After 10 minutes of continuous usage, always give any portable air compressor—especially handheld models—time to cool down. Technically, tire inflators are simply small air compressors, although they are not equipped with tanks to store compressed air. Tire inflators also have a weaker airflow than most professional air compressors. Can a small air compressor fill flat car tires? A digital gauge allows you to set and monitor the desired tire pressure accurately, ensuring precise inflation.

A tire inflator or an air compressor can be a valuable tool for drivers. This is because it allows you to put air in your tires virtually anywhere. You could pay for air at gas stations, but having a tire inflator of your own saves a lot of hassle. Are Portable Tire Inflators Worth It?With a premium, high-quality build and multiple power options, this unit is ideal for a roadside service technician or someone looking to make a solid investment in their automotive care equipment. The tire inflator air compressor easily surpasses standard dual-power source tire inflators. Type: There are two main types of tire inflators: Portable and handheld models vs. console units. Handheld devices are ideal to always keep in the car in case of emergencies as these tend to be lightweight and compact, while console units are better suited for the garage as they're heavier and larger but, on the bright side, can inflate almost anything from basketballs to air mattresses and tend to be more feature-rich. Threaded screw-on connectors offer a more secure seal, though they can be challenging to handle in wet and cold conditions The Viair 84P would make a terrific gift for a DIY-minded driver who owns a car with larger tires. The max psi and performance specs might be a little too sophisticated for most drivers, but this is an excellent choice if you want tires inflated fast and don’t care about an electronic display. Built-in LED lights illuminate the tire valve area, making it easier to connect the inflator, especially in low-light conditions.
