Milwaukee M12 Compact Inflator – Cordless Tire Inflator with TrueFill Auto Shut-Off, 120 PSI, LCD Display, Brass Chuck, Fast Inflation 2475-20

The Milwaukee compact inflator is a well-executed product that effectively does its intended job. It is particularly useful for topping off pressures and balancing tire pressures over time and seasons. Many users have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of this inflator, as they have encountered disappointing experiences with other portable compressors in the past. The unit is designed to be simple and easy to use. Users simply need to turn it on, connect the hose, read the pressure, and toggle to their desired pressure over the current pressure. The inflator will buzz until the desired pressure is reached. The speed and simplicity of this inflator are its standout features. It allows users to keep their tires at the perfect pressure year-round and provides immediate action when a pressure indicator light pops on. The inflator has good run time, especially when used with a 4.0 or 6.0 battery. It can reach pressures of up to 70 psi, but it does get hot at this level. However, this does not seem to be a major concern for users. The inflator has a decent inflation rate, filling a car tire at a rate of about one pound of pressure every 20-40 seconds. Feedback on the performance of this inflator has been mostly positive. Users have found it to be effective for various tasks, such as filling bicycle tires and topping off truck and car tires. It is not recommended for filling completely flat car and truck tires, as it needs to be shut off after 10 minutes to avoid overheating. Some reviewers have mentioned specific uses for this inflator that go beyond tire inflation, such as charging PET bottles for bottle rocket launchers and blowing out keyboards and computer fans. These additional functionalities have been appreciated by users. Overall, the Milwaukee compact inflator seems to be a reliable and efficient tool for tire inflation and other small air pumping tasks. Despite a few design flaws, such as the need to screw the nipple onto the valve and issues with the included adapter for Presta valves, users have found this inflator to be a great addition to their tool collection.
