- Milwaukee 2475-20 M12 Compact Inflator
Seems like a decent enough tool. It's been a while since I got a new toy and this fills that gap. If the Home Depot sale is still going buy that. if not see the link below.

I'm retired and don't drive that much anymore so this little guy is perfect for maintaining my tire pressure where it belong. And it beats the hell out of going to the gas station and paying a dollar or two to fill your tires. Most of the time gas station air pumps are broken and you gotta drive around like an idiot looking for one !
I’ve had this inflator a few years it’s a good tool not the fastest but got me out of a few jams with a plug kit. There’s been once or twice I’ve helped out a few strangers with it flat tire etc. I recently upgraded to the m18 version .
the m18 is great, so much easier to fill the lawnmower, wheelbarrow, etc. tires up quick without getting out the heavy compressor.
Even if it takes 8 minutes, it's better then a tow!
These are not designed to pump up multiple flat, full size tires. They are designed to top off low tires. But I'm here to tell you they will inflate full size truck tires if you have 4 or 6 ah batteries or multiple smaller ones. These little beasts are LIFE SAVERS. I drive a 4wd F-250 in places that routinely have lots of stuff laying around that isn't tire friendly. If you also have a portable fan, you can run this thing pretty much continuously until you run out of battery. Otherwise, it will thermally shut down to protect itself in hot weather. They got me out of a few jambs and made life easier on many, many occasions. It will fill completely flat wheelbarrow and hand cart or dolly tires, bike tires, or footballs, soccer balls, basketballs etc in seconds. I was so impressed, I got one for every car and family member. The M18 model has a built in cooling fan, multiple presets, is much faster, and pumps a LOT more air. But it's way bigger than these. I now carry the M18 in my truck. Plumbers will love them for pressure testing gas and water lines. I can't recommend them enough. That said, I wish they included a volume blower like the Dewalt model. These aren't the Droids your looking for if you want to fill an air mattress. The M18 compact blower is great for that and comes with the attachments to blow up big volume inflatables.
I've had mine for almost two years now and I still sometimes do the 'turn it on, set the PSI, then accidentally turn it off again' routine. I laughed from a place of familiarity when I saw you do it 😂
Haha I’ve done that every time I’ve used so far. 😁
I do it every time. I'll never learn
I love your videos man keep up the great work
Same here keep it up funk 👍
Nothing like honest reviews! Thank you, sir!
I have a similar small inflator from another brand. It works very well for inflating my lawn mower tires an car tires. My pickup tires inflate to 75psi and it handles them without a problem. These newer ones from reputable companies are a far cry from the old cheapies from years gone by.
I’ve used it on my jeep only once but .. about 75 times on friends, family, and it actually works great on basketballs
This thing has saved me multiple times. I mean, its probably close to 100 times that I have inflated tires with this thing. Even as high as 90 lbs on a larger vehicle. Just set and forget come back in a few minutes and its all aired up. This one tool almost made me convert to Milwaukee.
I used my inflator several times. Mostly to add air to a leaking tire, about 10 psi in a car tire and motorcycle tires. I found the psi was pretty accurate. It's real easy to use, compared to waiting for the air compressor to fill up and then dragging out the hoses.
I’ve got the dewalt inflator and it’s not as good as this little m12. A buddy of mine at work had the m12 and it never ceases to amaze me how this little m12 outperforms my dewalt 20v inflator. Good video.
That's actually a pretty neat tool. Love these tool reviews! Also the bluetooth mic makes the sound quality and everything in general a lot better than the old videos
Thanks 😊 I noticed the mic really picks up my breathing really well. I’m gonna have to consciously not be a mouth breather LoL
@@FunkFPV I don't think it's that horrbile. I usually avoided picking up breathing by placing a bigger sponge filter on the mic. But then again that was only on computer headset microphones
@@FunkFPV its so common there is actually software for removing it if you want to deal with it.
I love this inflator. I used it a lot when I was lazy and didn't want to plug my tire. Just kept refilling it everyday until I actually plugged my tire.
My old car was the same. Once a week I had to top off the front tires because the beads leaked. Now I have this thing and a new truck with tires that don’t leak. Shows how smart I am 😊
I have one on AvE’s recommendation. It’s been good. I took a schrader valve and an air chuck to make an adapter because the straight hose doesn’t fit everything
I have the Milwaukee M18 inflator and absolutely love it. I installed a LockNFLATE air chuck and carry the rig in my truck. Its perfect for tires as well as my Shocker air ride hitches. I highly recommend this.
Nice hearing a down to earth guy doing reviews of stuff I may actually use. You hooked me with the shorts, and now I’m watching these. Keep it up!
Its so hard to find pure genuine common sense anywhere these days, let alone on the internet, and youtube worse. Keep up the amazing witty content, I crack up on every one.
I've had mine for a year and love it. Never had it overheat.
I love mine, makes topping off tires so easy.
How can someone be serious, funny, and seriously funny at the same time
Your short videos started popping up on my feed. I really like your videos. I was an auto tech for 18 years. I wish you would have been doing these back when I was working on cars. Love your stuff.
I used this thing all the time to inflate my lines and test for leaks. Great for tires, too!
I've used one for a few months and it's great for small jobs. I also accidentally turn it off instead of starting it like he did at least once per use.
I have a buddy who's got one of those and he's been happy with it, and ironically I was planning on buying one soon
Honestly liking the long form stuff, been seeing this inflator advertised on Amazon the last few weeks. Thanks for the review!
Mine has saved me countless times. I've used it from tires to basketballs. I always keep it near me.
I almost passed this video thinking it was another bought review.
Then I realized it was Funk and thought "no shit, finally a legit review"
Used it around 500 - 800 times, one of the best tools I have.
I got the same kit with 2 x 6.0ah batteries and charger for $199 and also got the inflator. Love it
Awesome videos
I enjoy them very much
I have had zero issues with mine over the last year of ownership.
I got it because my old boss was always having tire issues and inflating one with his setup was always a pain.
First i thought i dont need one, but after watching your review i think it would be a great thing to have! Thanks!
"I walk through the tool department, as you're required to do" lol true true
I have one and love it for what it is.
These work well even on high pressure sports car tires. I got one for my dad and he loves it. It's also nice it works with the same batteries as all the other tools in the lineup.
It's nice. I have the M18 and it's a beast
Edit: 90PSI on the Chevy rears so m12 wasn't enough to fill it.
I think the tire I filled is probably the upper limit for this thing. Good thing is most of what I’ll be using it for will be a lot smaller.
Had this for a few years. Test gas lines with it. Take it to the race track to top off the slicks on my car. It has its place. It's not fun topping off my service trucks tires with though lol. It will get you out of a jam though
Alright here’s an idea. I used to have a train horn with a 7 gallon tank, no compressor and it was always a pain to refill it. Since it has the screw on adapter it could be set up in the trunk and topped off easily. I appreciate the video, great content as always.
Got hooked on your short videos and really like your stuff thanks for keeping real
Required it's a must to walk through the tool department! It's hard to walk out with nothing even if you don't need it.
I never knew how cool tool unboxing would be
That compressor would be good for a family road trip. I like that you can “set it and?….FORGET IT!”😂 0-50 psi in under 9min sounds reasonable- it’s not like you’re going anywhere. 😏
Ive had this for a couple years it is great for topping off the tires on my work van and has all kinds of attatchments for inflatable things like footballs and pool toys
I use one of those about once a week - my old beat up tires (or rims maybe) lose air about that quickly. Those little inflators are great - and a battery one is nice so you don't have to run your car to inflate the tires (though that might be better on the road).
I keep mine in my trunk, and has come in handy many times, eventually I am going to get the m18 inflator when I can
I might upgrade to the M18 depending on how much I use this.
I bought one of these purely for portability, i intended to make a small storage tank for the air, and be able to use for cleaning coils and filters, and another use that has arisen has been to fil a pressure sprayer, after fiting a shrader valve to keep the backpack pressurised to make it easier for use.
Bought mine a year or so ago and carry it in my truck everyday save me several times with camper tires kids balls and flats on the side of the road even fixed a pitching machine for my boys baseball team worth every penny
Awesome review! Love the shorts and long form vids.
FYI: Home Depot will match Amazon's price if you don't like ordering online.
Thank you for this info
Oh wow really? Thats pretty cool. Now you can get the warranty with the amazon price since amazon is not an authorized dealer the warranty isnt valid if you buy from amazon. Good info HD with price match amazon eventhough its not an authorized dealer
One of my most used red tools. Not great, but convenient AF.
Cheap AvE knock off, I love it!
I’ve had one for a few years. Work well for me.
I bought a $40 harbor freight inflator and it barely inflates 1, 16 inch car tire from 15 lbs, not flat, up to 30 lbs before it over heats and shuts off for 10 minutes.
Junk.
I also have a Daytona 4 ton jack. Very well made, good welds heavy duty. Feels like quality.
Great UA-camr! Definitely a smart guy! Always look forward to and enjoy your content! Keep up the great work!
I can't explain it, but I could listen to you explain shit all day. And it seems like a lot of other people agree, can't wait to see this channel grow, you are real and hilarious!
Thanks bud
Neat video. An inflator for me would just be an unecessary extravagance right now. But a good review and well worth the watch. Loved the bloopers too.
Funnily enough I’d been looking at this inflator and the m18 counterpart just recently, thanks for review man.
Would love this for my Wheelchair. Thanks for the Review.
Yeah the presta valve is for road bicycle inner tubes. Very good review and impressed it's m12. I am happy with my m12 tools, but for some reason, the Milwaukee m12 charger failed on me after 6 months. We have an m18 charger at work that failed within a year. Maybe it is from leaving the fully-charged battery on the charger too long? Not sure, but I bought the non-milwaukee chinese m12 charger and it has been fine. It's also a dual port, m12 and m18. Really enjoy your channel and your humor. Thanks for the videos.
My old Ryobi charger used to kill batteries if I left them on the charger. I got in the habit of taking them off when they’re done.
Love mine I used it to air up 3 38x12.5R15s on a mud truck took a entire 2.0 battery for each tire but ran till one was full swap battery put on the next tire
Excellent video, man! Real life experience explaining to us in normal language, the good and the not so good! Keep it up, dude!
Funk man, I swear by my M12 inflator. Bought some knock off 4ah batteries from Amazon (2 for $40 when one is $30.99 LOL) and keep it in my truck. I use it when I go off roading, overlanding and just helping ppl with flats! Only issue is I wish it would deflate tires as it inflates. ICan inflate all four tires from 20 psi to fall at 35 to 36 psi on a 4 amp hour battery
I keep one of these in the trunk of my car at all times. Any time I get a flat, it's nowhere near a compressor, so having this and a plug kit, I can usually even avoid removing the tire altogether.
Presta valve aka French valve. Which are on a lot of racing bicycles and higher-end bicycles e.g. pinarello dogma, specialized s-works, cannonadle system six, etc.
Most inflators only work with schrader valves though because people use them mostly for automotive (cars, trucks, etc.) so you need a presta valve to schrader valve adapter which is what that appears to be.
It's a nice little air compressor, the fact It's m12 i think means it's kinda meant for cars , vans and not too big stuff .
The bigger tires would probably need an m18 .
Anyway , the sale makes it an absolute steal mate 👍
Honestly I like it I use it rarely but it works I’ve had it for 2 and half yrs I wouldn’t recommend for every day use but it’s nice to have when you need it type of tool
Thanks for the heads-up. I just ordered this deal.
Normal video where our man unboxes an item like a normal person. Doesn't orgasm slowly peeling the plastic off. No, just rips it off like a normal human. Struggles like the rest of us figuring out how to new toy works. This is a real channel.
You got a great deal. I paid $130 just for the inflator alone. I had the smaller 1.5Ah battery already. I think Milwaukee should have reversed the power button with the inflate button since I go to start inflating and mistakenly turn off the unit just like you did. And I've owned the thing for 2 years now. Other than that, it's a great thing to have since the gas stations charge over $2 for using their air now a days.
Maybe they should’ve done a dual purpose button. Like push and hold to turn it on and off and a short press to start pumping.
@@FunkFPV , brilliant idea. Thanks for the reply. 🙂
"They probably didn't read the instructions like the rest of us, I'm not judging I just got lucky" the truth this channel spits 😂
“I like to buy toys too”
Fair enough! Me too. Honestly you make me want to take advantage of this deal too but I already have 4 of those m12 charges cause it feels like every time I buy a m12 tool they throw in that charger… like thanks… I’m good.
I’ve got 3 charges. I wish some of these deals just came with batteries and a little lower price.
Love your vids. And that voice is very relaxing. Keep up the great work man. Greetings from Sweden
Im getting one for the drag strip. Need to air down while racing and air back up when u leave. Having my own inflator will cut off 20-30 mins of waiting in line at the end of the night.
Keep mine in the truck. Great for emergencies. Not the fastest but not bad for on the road kinda needs.
Thanks for the heads up on that deal. I have been eyeing that stapler for a while but its never on sale and I refused to pay full price knowing as soon as I did it would be discounted.
For anyone that hasnt seen it check out AvE's video on it as it seems like someone that actually used it designed it. I am so over using staple guns!
Thanks for the video, I was thinking about purchasing this one.
Impressive for jobs item tires
"Oh Shit! I turned it off!!!" is the most common phrase I utter when using this inflator! welcome to the club! lol
Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one. Seems there’s a lot of people in these comments who do the same 😂
I use this inflator to test gas lines. It works great
I use a Harbor Freight air compressor that runs off the car battery. Works a little faster but runs kind of hot. Wouldn’t want to run out of batteries running this
Battery capacity meters are quite sketchy as rate of discharge changes the measure.
Same effect applies to charging. Fast charging is less efficient.
These inflators are perfect for the top off and small tire use.
i had a buddy who had one and he always had holes in his truck tires. he was a bit of an airhead and would sometimes run off with it. it still worked till like the fifth time he did it. 🤣
Awesome
Thanks for sharing! I'll have to get one of these.
haha I feel your pain with those outtakes. Something always makes a loud noise right after I start recording or at the end of a very long segment.
It drives me nuts. It’s either right when I start talking or right at the end when I nailed what I wanted to say 🤦🏻♂️
i’m alrdy all in on the m12 stuff but picked up a m12 circ saw a few months ago that came with (2) 6ah batteries and charger for 200 bucks.. fggn deal and a half!
The adapters would be handy.
I’m a plumber and bought this thing so I didn’t have to inflate the test balloons we use to fill houses up for inspection.
Pumping up a big ass long black weenie in 90+ degree sun with a shitty bike pump gets old. I start this thing and walk away. It’s also far smaller and faster than a bike pump to do the same thing in these tiny modern crawl spaces that barely meet legal requirements.
Not bad for the deal you got! Keep up the good work. Make some more drone educational content. Much love from St. Louie!
It's late and I needed a good video to put me to sleep.
True thoughts when asked "why not just use your shop compressor?", every time I have to carry my impact and jack to my side lot because a stupid trailer tire has gone flat from sitting for the winter, thr price of one of those becomes relatively lower in my eyes, soon may be to the point of me buying one.
I just bought the Dewalt version of this just for that reason. Got really tired of running 250ft of air hose through my warehouse to fill up a tire.
I go to the obx 4x4 beach multiple times a year and I use one of these every time and it fills all of my K02’s but no it’s not the fastest and will overheat if used in direct sunlight
Dude I walked by that i inflator last week and almost bought it.. after your video now I have to lol
Been dealing with a lot and I gotta say big dog you make this shit just a little easier. I appreciate you. Keep it going get your bag dude.
I'm strongly looking at the m18. I'm sure for a top off the m12 will be fine but I have 35s on my pos yukon and i just don't want to run something excessively to where it will take a dump prematurely.
Tool is is must go down when shopping
Just a heads up Milwaukee does not warranty their tools sold through Amazon
Great review keep it up
A 10 minute 50% duty cycle means it's only specified to run for 5 minutes within a 10 minute period. So it's not specified to run 10 minutes straight, but only 5 minutes.
Duty cycle is defined as a fraction (or percentage or ratio) of a complete on-and-off cycle period which is 10 minutes in this case.
I use a Viair 87P it clamps directly to a 12v battery with clamps and does 1.26 cfm at 13.8v with a run time of 20 minutes at 72F. Only goes upto 60 psi but overall it's pretty quick and great for your average vehicle
It would be interesting to see what it looks like inside. In recent years, more and more compressors have an extremely poor, simplified construction. For example, the piston and connecting rod are one piece! Which quickly shreds the piston seal, after which it all goes to waste. I have also seen this construction in Xiaomi compressors, from which I had (slightly) higher expectations.
Presta valve. When I first ran into one on my bike wheel tube @10yrs ago I was like wtf. Never seen anything but a Schrader valve.
