Which Cordless Tire Inflator is Best? DeWalt, Milwaukee, Air Hawk, Ryobi, Bauer, Chicago Electric

most people carry portable tire pumps with them in their vehicles in case they have a flat or in case they need to help someone else who has a flat so the question is are the battery-powered tire pumps actually better than the ones that use the 12-volt power supply from the vehicle well today we're going to test a whole bunch of different brands that use these lithium-ion batteries and see if they're actually better in the first test we'll see how long it takes these battery-powered inflators to pump up a car tire to 35 psi we'll also see if a foot pump is faster than these battery-powered inflators we'll see at the winner of the previous 12 volt inflator pump showdown is faster than any of these battery-powered inflators if you own a light truck or utility trailer you may have tires that require more than 35 psi so we're going to limit this test to 20 minutes to see how long it takes each tire pump to reach 80 psi both the bar as well as dewalt have high speed inflators we'll see how fast they inflate these balloons the least expensive air pump that we'll be testing is this airhawk pro costing 37.99 it claims it can inflate tires fast and easy handheld with powerful lightweight 1.91 pounds cordless and rechargeable great for car suv and rv tires includes a carrying case air nozzle battery power cord in case the battery goes down a wall outlet charger the air compressor should not operate for more than 15 minutes at a time after which it must be switched off and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting press plus or minus to set the determined pressure level once set wait a few seconds until the current pressure displays 36 psi for the air hawk it inflated the tire about one psi too much the second least expensive air pump we'll be testing is this avid power 20 volt automatic cordless inflator costing 59.99 got a nice little carrying bag 20 volt max lithium ion battery digital display if the lithium battery goes down you can always use this power adapter to keep the pump going the inflator is not designed for continuous use for every five minutes of inflator use five minutes of cool down time are required [Music] [Music] according this pressure gauge this thing is at 18 psi it's hard to believe that this only has 18 psi in it so we'll go ahead and test the tire pressure and see just how far off this gauge is 48 psi while that gauge is way off so the avid power pump was supposed to shut off at 35 psi and it did not shut off i had to shut it off at 48 psi the tire pressure pump actually indicated it only had 18 psi in this tire so this is definitely not a safe pump in my opinion if you buy the barrel brand which is sold at harbor freight tire pump you're also going to have to buy the battery as well as a charger if you don't already have one if you buy all three of these items it's going to cost you 112.98 this tire pump can be used with the battery or with a 12 volt car dc outlet high pressure inflation for tires and small inflatables fills most tires in less than two minutes high volume inflation deflation for large inflatables here's the 12-volt power source if you choose to use it the air hose is at least two feet long which is pretty nice so for high airflow you can select that option or to inflate a tire allow the inflator deflator to cool for 10 minutes after 10 minutes of continuous use saying the tire pressure is pretty straightforward push the plus to increase the pressure i'm going to set this at 35 psi push the left side of the switch to inflate the tire okay about seven minutes and 50 seconds to reach 35 psi harbor freight tire inflator pump said we had about 35.5 psi but this gauge is saying 36.5 so they're fairly close 122.99 for the inflator the battery and the charger the ryobi one 18 volt inflator tops off tires inflates up to 150 psi nozzle accessories included it has an analog gauge the duty cycle is five minutes on and five minutes off the railway pump doesn't have an automatic shut off instead it uses this analog gauge so we'll have to shut this thing off when we think it's right at 35 psi the railway pump only stays on if you hold the trigger so i'm gonna go ahead and tape the trigger so it'll just stay on without me having to touch it [Music] okay about five minutes and 52 seconds to inflate this tire let's see if the psi is correct that's about 32 and a half psi according to this gauge so i'm gonna have to put the pump back on it and run it for a little bit longer okay the ryobi pump gauge is off by about three psi it said we had 38 we actually have 35 in this tire took about six minutes and 24 seconds to inflate this tire to 35 psi costing 137.55 is this milwaukee m12 compact inflator it claims to be a high efficiency motor and pump fastest cordless inflator top off car tire in under one minute inflates car light truck and compact equipment tires allow the tool to cool for 10 minutes after 10 minutes of continuous use to program the tire pressure just push plus to increase the pressure or minus to decrease it to start the pump you just push this button just below the power button okay five minutes and 30 seconds the milwaukee pup is by far the fastest pump we've tested 35 psi so the milwaukee gauge is very accurate costing 204 dollars for the battery the charger and the inflator is this dewalt brand corded as well as cordless guaranteed tough three to 160 psi stowaway power cord [Music] if the pressure rating for the item being inflated is above 100 psi note that the maximum run time is 10 minutes rotate the dial clockwise to increase the pressure to the desired amount we're going to set this on 35 psi [Music] it took the dewalt pump 6 minutes and 40 seconds to inflate this tire to 35 psi the tire pressure gauge is showing 34.8 psi let's test it and see how close it is okay right at 35 psi so why use a battery-powered inflator when you can just use a foot pump i had a lot of viewers ask me to compare the two so we'll be using this wyoosta flip pump which cost 25 dollars and 16 cents quite a few viewers suggested that a foot pump is actually quite a bit faster than the electric pump i'm gonna do the best i can to see if i'm faster than the lithium ion battery pumps even this foot pump got pretty hot at over 140 degrees fahrenheit fairly close to 35 psi in 8 minutes and 42 seconds so let's see how i did i got the 38 psi so the foot pump gauge is a little bit off the harbor freight pittsburgh tire pump did extremely well in the previous episode when we compared those that require the 12 volt power outlets are the 12 volt pumps actually faster than the lithium powered pumps so the question is can this 30 harbor freight pump beat this 137 milwaukee pump or this 204 dewalt pump when i previously tested harbor freight i used a power converter this time i'm just going to plug it into the auxiliary power and let the engine run so the milwaukee pump is about 10 seconds faster than the harbor freight pump if you need a tire inflator for tires below 40 psi the milwaukee m12 is the fastest pump followed by the 12 volt harbor freight pump at around five and a half minutes the ryobi and dewalt were about a minute slower at around six and a half minutes the avid power did inflate the tire to 35 psi in under 10 minutes but the pressure gauge in the pump prevented the pump from shutting off at 35 psi the foot pump definitely won the quietest pump contest but the airhawk pro dewalt and harbor freight did very well if you own a light truck or utility trailer you may have tires that require more than 35 psi for instance this load range e tire requires 80 psi when fully inflated so we're going to limit this test to 20 minutes to see how long it takes each tire pump to reach 80 psi all the batteries have been fully charged and the pumps have had over 8 hours to cool off the airhawk pro shut off at a little over 18 minutes and this little pup is high i think there's a little over 30 psi but let's go ahead and check 35 psi not too bad when you consider the price of the pump but definitely not enough to fully inflate this tire [Applause] [Music] the avid power pump gave up a little over 13 minutes so let's see how much pressure we have in the tire 43 psi is definitely better than the air hawk pro but it's definitely not enough to fully inflate this tire [Music] okay the harbor freight pump has done the best so far and survived the entire 20 minutes reaching 49.5 psi according to the gauge so let's take a manual reading and see what the pressure really is the bare inflator showed 49.5 psi but this gauge is showing 52. the bower is the pump to beat so let's see if the robbie is better than the bauer [Music] right we survived 20 minutes let's see how much pressure we have inside the tire okay the new leader is the ryobi pup at 58 psi the ryobi is the pump to beat so can the milwaukee m12 beat the ryobi [Music] okay the milwaukee pump just gave up in 17 minutes and 14 seconds at psi i'm going to remove the inflator hose and see how much pressure i start off with the full battery and now it indicates that the battery's low and it looks like the temperature is an issue as well 56 psi for the milwaukee pump so the ryobi is still the pump to beat and can the dewalt beat the ryobi right at 20 minutes it looks like we have 59.2 psi so i'm going to take a measurement looks like a little over 59 psi so the dewalt takes the first place followed by roby and then the milwaukee m12 can the harbor freight pittsburgh 30 pump outperform the much more expensive lithium ion pumps okay the harbor pup just shut off at 13 minutes and 24 seconds the gauge is a bit of an eye chart but looks like it's between 45 and 46 psi so the pittsburgh produced 46 psi inflating the light truck tire proved to be a huge challenge for a lot of the pumps and only three pumps were able to run for 20 minutes without giving up however only the dewalt is designed for continuous use under these conditions while the dewalt isn't the fastest pump to reach 35 psi it's definitely designed very well for handling higher psi requirements and didn't seem to break a sweat when the test ended at 20 minutes achieving over 59 psi while the robe produced 58 in the milwaukee 56. both the bar as well as dewalt have high speed inflators we'll see how fast they inflate these balloons [Music] i buy all the products i test on this channel so i can provide honest reviews without any pressure from manufacturers in my opinion the milwaukee m12 is the best pump for tires under 40 psi because it inflates very quickly however it runs out of legs pretty fast once you get above 40 psi making the dewalt the best pump for over 40 psi rarely do i recommend avoiding a product but unfortunately the avid power just didn't shut off when it was supposed to making it a dangerous pump all my video ideas come from viewers including this one so if you have a video idea i hope you'll take time to leave a comment as usual just want to say thanks so much for watching the video please take care and look forward to next time
