I have the Ryobi with the updated digital gauge and it matches the tire pressure that the sensors are reading.
Makita please
Rigid 18v digital inflator. Says it can fill LT tires
Your videos are really interesting and I am enjoying they are not biased. I have a suggestion for the followings:
Some of the dual power 12v/120v tire inflators (optional battery) + preset PSI auto-shutoff :
1. CRAFTSMAN V20 Inflator (CMCE520B)
2. Avid Power Tire Inflator Air Compressor, 12V DC / 110V AC Dual Power Tire Pump (ACAP322)
3. JACO SmartPro 2.0 AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator
4. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator, Cordless & Corded Power (BDINF20C)
5. Slime Dual Power Tire Inflator (120V/12V)
6. TACKLIFE A6 PLUS Tire Inflator
7. DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Tire Inflator (DCC020IB) connected to ac through the N557514 power supply
plus any other pump you think is good to try.
Interested in:
1. Time to pump a tire 0 to 35 psi.
2. Time to pump a tire 0 to 80 psi.
3. Accuracy of the gauge when the pump is not pumping. (The difference between the gauge and a calibrated gage)
4. Consistency of the gauge (showing almost the same result when tried a few times even if it is off by some PSI) (metric: Standard deviation)
5. Accuracy of the auto-shutoff at correct PSI.
6. Running time before turns off because of getting hot.
7. Build quality if possible.
Thanks!
Forgot to add:
For time measurements could you please try both 12v and 120v input?
This man is better than Consumer Report and J.D. Power Associate.
Thank you very much!

I cannot tell tell how over the years your channel has greatly improved my own workshop.
It’s like having a mentor.
Thank you!
Not all heroes wear capes. I too echo how much I rely on your unbiased reviews. Please don't ever sell out to the sponsors I'm sure are knocking your door down. Thank you for what you do.
Also want to agree with that statement!
Yes absolutely we recently bought a house and have painting to do and thanks it his video we know what tape and paint works best. Love the channel keep up the great work.
And we NEED so much a UA-cam channel just like this one here in Europe!
Most of those american brands DO NOT sell those consumer products in here.
I mean we have power tools and professional tools from DeWalt, Millwakee, etc, but not those small products for home or farm use.
Even so, this channel is one of the best channels ever!
I'll never stop being amazed by the incredible amount of time and money you put into making your extremely thorough testing videos. A++ 👍 Thank you!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!!
Ditto!
Totally agree
Totally agree with ElectronicsNmore
you think he buys them all with 787k subscribers?
This is without question one of the best channels on UA-cam. Honest, unbiased, accurate and in-depth testing. You not only learn what tools are worth buying but get some really good knowledge on how equipment can (and should) be tested. Well done sir.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm My car battery went dead and didn't use it for a long time, so now tires need air. So I bought this model {$27.19} due to the reviews { AstroAI Air Compressor Tire Inflator Portable Air Pump for Car Tires 12V DC Auto Tire Pump with Digital Pressure Gauge, 100PSI} to inflate my tires , it's being delivered tomorrow. Thing is it only runs on car cigarette lighter and I didn't realize this when I bought it ,so it's no use to me, because my car battery is dead, UGH.
PS: Can you just do reviews on models for cigarette models only, those that need to be charged ,and those that only work on foot pedal. Each type needs its own category . Thanks.
Aww yeeesss, Just sat down looking for something to watch; this is some good timing.
Thanks for all your hard work as always.
Thank you!
Perfect for after work.
You did just spend 1000$ on products so we can see quality content. I subscribed 2 years ago and not get disappointed once. Huge respect! 👍🏻
Thank you! Yes, way overspent the monthly video budget. lol
I subbed back during the Ranger SeaFoam videos, I think around the third one. This was a good reminder to finally get on Patreon and subscribe there.
I suspect he can return the products and get money back in first days up to 30 days.
You should return some of the junk products and get your money back at least.
im sure his investment is worth it since he has around 900k subs

Thank you for the suggestion!
I'd buy that and anything else that's on
or how about "as seen on project farm"
Screw "As seen on TV" products. The "Project Farm Tested" store is where it's at!
Huh, good idea, the manufacturers should adopt that as it'd be a good selling point, and pay him for it too.
I Decided I was going to start a review Channel Testing products then I started making up the tests and then I started performing the tests. Then I tried putting it together into a video then I gave up. The energy you put into these tests is amazing
Thanks!
This channel ought to be recommend in AARP and Consumer Reports. 5 STARS.
Thank you!

@@josephgaviota That is NOT a Party Approved Correct Thinking and Speech comment.

AARP is a self serving organization that only exists to sell you insurance, they will never get my dollars.
There would be no need for consumer reports except for car testing.
I always check project Farm before consumer reports for any purchases
Thank you very much!
4 down votes from people who bought the Air Hawk Pro. Excellent job as always.
Thank you!
Airhawk is okay for emergencies,it no replacement for a real air compressor. My porter cable holds 6 gallons of compressed air,it takes 2 minutes to fill up to capacity.
Great comparison. It's awesome that the battery powered compressors were compared with the winner of the 12V. I'm getting ready to buy a portable compressor and I'm going with the Ryobi - low cost and great performance. Thanks for doing the video!
You are welcome!
I have it and it rocks. only thing is that having to hold down the trigger is annoying
@@coppulor6500Get some Trex tape or some trucker tie cord to hold that trigger haha
It was great that you included the HF vehicle powered pump. That changes my mind. I was set on getting a quality cordless unit because of their portability and i thought they were alot faster. Turns out, they are not. Im going to check out one of the viair type pumps.
Did you get get it. Is it still working or shot?
I remember it wasn't that long ago when you could find 12v tire inflators for less than $20. Now the cheapest ones are twice that much. I guess it's due to inflation.
I see what you did there.
Wow...smh
Haha
😂
😁😁👍👍
I own the dewalt one. I like it because I already use dewalt power tools so I’ve got batteries around. Seems to work really well with a big battery a small one seems to go dead fast.
Great point! The DeWalt is a very impressive pump! Didn't seem to slow down at higher PSI or become hot.
Project Farm just finished the video, I am happy with that because it lives in my truck that takes 70psi in the tires.
I bought into the Dewalt system years ago too so that's what I have. Mine seems to add point one PSI which makes up for the air lost when you unscrew the valve adapter. Only fail on mine is a design one - the older tall 3 amp hour batteries are taller than the compartment they slide into so the inflator sits on the battery, not it's feet.
I'm still using all of my 18v Dewalt tools. One of these days they'll start dying off and I'll upgrade. They'll probably have 30v by then!
@@Babarudra They have 54v tools now. But you can still use the batteries in any 18v tool.
And once again....Monday is now a good day!
David, than you very much and hope you enjoy the video!
I checked the rest of you tube for reviews on these, before I came here. If I would have started here first, it would have saved me alot of time! Your product tests are much more thorough then anyone else's on you tube, plus your reviews are unbiased since you accept no advertising. It's refreshing to know I won't be sent to amazon to buy a product, the reviewer says I should have! I am honored to be a subscriber. Thankyou for being here!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Woohoo, another video from Project Farm.

@justin hamilton is right; good job, sir.
He does it for subs= which adds to his income 2= I'm sure he returns things too.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 You suck.
I have been using the HF 12V air compressor shown here for several years now. Use it to re-pressurize after airing down for sand and off road. Have it in several vehicles and other than the poor quality air hose and the specific fittings, it has been a good pump.
Thanks for sharing.
Guys, Project Farm has helped us a lot. Please buy the merch or at least, watch the ads.
Thank you very much!!
@@ProjectFarm You might help your cause if you did a brief 4-minute video on measuring the t-shirts and hoodies for your viewers. I like the one 'drill' design logo, but the full extent of the sizing just says 'tight fit,' and gives a width measurement that doesn't say where it is measuring width at.
@@workingguy6666 That would be a great April 1st video!
I bought 3 12V Husky inflators, one for each vehicle, based on his 12V test of 9 inflators on Sep 9, 2019.
Watching the ads helps him? I always skipped them!
Love these reviews!
I have no need for a portable inflator but by hell I wanna know what the best one is!
Not disappointed
Thank you!
Your videos are great! Your non-biased reviews have helped me build an excellent collection of tools and many times saved me money. Just because it's more expensive, doesn't mean that it is better... Sometimes it does. Please don't stop what you're doing. It helps more than you know. If I ever need to buy tools, I always stop by your channel first. Thanks for everything you do!
Thank you very much!
I have a harbor freight pump that hooks up to my battery.. I use when off-roading. I have 35" tires.. I air down to about 15psi, then when done inflate to 30psi.. its been good to me so far.. Thanks for all the great vids.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve had the Ryobi for about 2 yrs now and it’s running well for spot check fill ups on my car and my Motorcycles. And you can use the same battery on most all of their tools 👍
Nice! Thank you
I’ve had the same Ryobi impact gun for years now. Can attest to their stuff being good quality.
i always get pumped up when PF uploads a vid
Thank you!
I've had my Milwaukee one for a few months now, damn that thing is super handy
Great pump!
I also have the Milwaukee. I've used it probably 60 times in the last year, works like a champ, just wish it wasn't so loud. Also doesn't have a 12v cord for backup, which did catch me out one time due to dead batteries and I had to use an old junk slime 12v pump instead.
I wish they would make an m18 version
Late to the party here, but I have one too and absolutely love it. Though I do agree with the other comment that it's a bit loud. I also got my wife one for christmas because the threaded chuck and digital pressure settting and push button use are a lot easier than running our larger air compressor.
DamionJR4923 They will ! I’ve got 12 millwakii 18 v tools I’m waiting too!
I've owned the cheap Pittsburgh 12 volt for 15 years and it's worked fine for emergencies... Not bad for 30 dollars... Excellent testing as usual 👍👍
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I'm getting one today! in about 3hours! ish!👍🏻 with the coupon $29.00!👍🏻
Please test waterproof spray can coatings (like Neverwet). You can test it on shoes and on jackets. Winter is comming and that would be very useful (to waterproof your shoes) :)

@@ProjectFarm On different types of surfaces too please! Canvas, nylon, leather, painted and unpainted steel, glass, polycarbonate (the last for motorcycle visors, safety glasses and sport goggles). And testing with clean, salty and dirty/muddy water.
@@ProjectFarm Yeah Todd, this is a good one!!! Perfect timing as well!!! I vote for this one as well!!

The TPMS system in that truck is thinking "what the hell is going on out there?"
Thank you for the feedback
Lol
Now that was a funny comment, thanks!
Actually get a TPMS reader is easier to measure the pressure?
haha
No foot pump on the truck tire? Lol 🤣
lol. I'm in decent shape and was sweating quite a bit after the car tire. I'd estimate at least 3,000 compressions with the foot pump in 20 minutes. lol
@@ProjectFarm it'd probably kill me lmfao
Psssh who needs CrossFit when you have ProjectFarmFit!
Screw the truck tire, I wanted to see him inflate one of those balloons with the foot pump. lol.
It's probably not possible to inflate an 80psi truck tire with it. These large volume foot pumps run out of steam around 50psi with bicycle tires.
The Milwaukee M12 inflator has never let me down. In fact, it has been so good and reliable that I actually purchased a second one. Not too surprising seeing as every Milwaukee tool that I have gets the job done.
Thanks for sharing.
@@ProjectFarm Wow. So I'm commenting on a video from 2019 and you respond to my post in 11 minutes. Seriously ? Your amazing my friend. You are making me smarter with each video. Thank you for your insight and dedication
I have Milwaukee M12 for over a year as well. It works like a charm! Milwaukee usually is on or near the top in most of there tools.
We use a Milwaukee inflator at work for our company vehicles. I was so impressed with it that I purchased one for home. It’s quick and accurate. I also bought two M12 batteries, charger, and carry all bag which will also house the inflator.
I’ve upgraded to the m18 variant and that thing is a beast on 70-90psi truck and trailer tires. It’d be cool to see some updates on battery powered tools now that they’ve changed so much over the last couple years
The Avid power name is misspelled. It's missing a o between v and I.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm I think you got a bad one - I have what looks like a rebranded one here in UK (cost 29.99 GBP) and it's great. Also, the 10 mins you have for inflation was actually to 48PSI so not a real comparison to the others. I think you just got unlucky with a dodgy pressure sensor. I'll give mine a go and see how it does.
@@BruceLortzHI Overpressure is straight up dangerous. There is no excuse for it not auto shutting off be that on time or pressure. Imagine a kid using that thing to blow up a bike tyre. Might aswell let them play with a stick of dynamite.
@@siraff4461 I've had that happen to me. I was standing next to someone when they tried to inflate a bike tire with an air compressor tank. Blew the tire and the bang deafened me for a couple seconds.
@@Anomaly188 Not this kind of compressor. Glad you added tank.
As always, thank you! Could you please consider testing “all in one “units? Those that are a portable battery jumper, tire inflator, and some even come with small 110 outlets? I’ve had a few, find them very handy, but I’ve had mixed experiences in their results. Might be an interesting test.
I wonder if companies see your videos and they're like "Oh sh** they caught our lies" lol
lol. I'm sure I've made a few unhappy. I hope they improve their products
@@ProjectFarm I thought your jump starter video was very eye-opening in the same way. I knew they over-inflated their claims but some of these companies are downright criminal in their claims. No wonder my "800 amp" Cobra lithium-ion battery pack struggles to start a Subaru when I jumped a small block Chevy with my "400 amp" old school Husky lead acid starter. These inflators are the same way, it's a shame they take advantage of consumers like that.
What I would like to see is a company that really believes in their product offer one up for a Project Farm test.
@@Mattstube19 It's not hard to imagine him turning the offer down still - he makes a point of not accepting any sponsorships, and this may be a sponsorship. Though if I was a CEO and trusted my product - I'd offer him a unit for free, no strings attached - if my company wins the showdown, nice. If not - we have some excellent data on what we need to change. It's a win-win really.
@@EgorKaskader CEOs aren't that smart, or at least they don't think in terms of PR and performance. That's what marketing and R&D departments are for. CEOs get paid to think about profit.

🤣🤣🤣
Now I would like to see these pumps tested on there 12 volt cords.
Thank you
I second this!
Me as well
try them with 240 volt see if they inflate faster....
They work fine. Maybe not 80 psi but enough to limp you to a gas station.
I bought the DeWalt inflator last year because of this review and I couldn't be happier. Thanks!!
I had the Bauer and thought I couldn't be happier as well, but I was wrong. I'm happier now knowing that I saved ~$100 compared to the Dewalt.
@@shannontaylor1849 . haha
I meant it to be 'funny' instead of 'mean'; I really do have the Bauer, but that also means all of my power tools are cheap since I already have the batteries, etc.
To be fair, the Dewalt can inflate to higher psi and will surely outlast mine.
@@shannontaylor1849 . Nothing wrong with saving a few bucks if you get what you need. Cheers!
Is still going?
I would love to see a test on smoke/CO alarms to see which ones work reliably.
Thank you for the video idea!
@@ProjectFarm yes, that would make for a good video. In my experience, there seems to be a great difference between different units.
Yes please do it !!
One of the only channels I watch all of the ads in. With that said my wife bought me the Dewalt unit for fathers day and I've abused it regularly and keep it in my suv to inflate my 33in offroad tires. Honestly I'm rather pleased with it despite not being a big Dewalt fan (been a Makita guy for a while) but I'd have no issues keeping one of these in any of my other rides ..and well your tests show my wife made a good choice
Thanks for watching and sharing!
PF: "Most people carry tire pumps in their vehicles"
Me: ".... Ummmm yeah"
Whats a tire pump?
I do carry one, it's a $9.99 pump from family dollar. it's shitty but it paid itself back since i bought it i've never paid to gas stations for air again. i think foot pump is even a better idea. one of those and a good quality jump starter is wise to have in the car all the times. they can pay themselves back very quickly.
lol. Thanks
I have one, but that is because I didn't have the correct size spare tire, which left me stuck if I ever got a flat, which happened once. Now I have a tire plug kit and air pump with me, as well as a spare tire. I'm not getting stuck anymore.
If we carried everything that we need for “just in case” we would either need a larger van or a tag along trailer everywhere we go!, first aide kits, blankets, change of clothes, stable food sources, extra hygiene products, then stuff for these contraptions we drive around, and just because the car is newer, doesn’t mean that crap can’t happen! Oh I just remembered the flairs, that are illegal for motorists to use in some states, but you can have them for the police to use, and still have to pay the fine! Most states request flairs, but won’t use reflectors, at the scene of an accident even if gas is on the road... go figure!
I think ryobi is the clear winner at this price point. Been very impressed with their HP one plus tool line and batteries lately. This is on my to buy list for sure.
Been using Ryobi since they first came out, blue tools, and I only had one tool fail but I abused the everlovingHELL out of it.
The best thing is the range of tools you can get, they are well thought out, and if you get a couple of 9 Amp hour batteries they can out work _you!_
We're here, to pump...YOU UP!!!
I love this channel. Best test of products so far!
Thank you!
EVER!!!!
It’s weird how entertaining these videos are but they have me hooked ! Thanks for the great information and great work you put in to making these !
Awesome! Thank you!
I hear you on that. Very entertaining. Little by little these videos will make you smarter too !
So comprehensive! I ended up getting DeWalt thanks to your review and I am super satisfied with the results. The pressure gauge is very accurate, but it does intentionally add extra air to cater for loss during handling of the pressure pipe. Its not a big deal, I just use a deflater with digital guage to let out the extra air. Its only about 0.5 extra, not a big deal.
Thanks! Great to hear!
The DeWalt IS a solid choice, However...in comparing the Battery powered units: In the 35psi test the results were Milwaukee 1, Ryobi 2, and DeWalt 3. In the 80psi/20min test the results were DeWalt 1, Ryobi 2, and Milwaukee 3. That basically gives them all an average of a tie for 2nd place...with the Ryobi costing slightly more than Half the price of the DeWalt!!!
I am a bit partial to Ryobi since I already have 3 of their batteries (including the new High Performance PB004), but then I do have tools from DeWalt and Milwaukee too. I guess all three inflators would make for a pretty decent choice! Best of lucc to you!

"We're going to test that"
(You know you just read that in his voice)
I found the best way is to lay down in the back seat, take a little nap, and let the wife inflate it with the foot pump. Keeps her in shape and saves me money.
Thank you for the feedback!
In the not-so-long run, It will definitely cost you money :)
Hope your wife aint watching or is she???
The sound of the dewalt alone would make me choose it, just sounds like a quality pump.
Agree. Smooth
I'm going to get on soon
Yes clearly Dewalt is the best pump. Speed shouldn't be the first parameter unless you plan to drag race them.
It's not made by Dewalt. Its rebraded chinseium
@@alabastardmasterson isn't everything these days?
You my friend are much appreciated. Thank you.
After doing my own research and watching this video, I have decided to purchase the Dewalt air compressor. I need a compressor that is durable, reliable and one that inflates tires at a reasonable pace. I already have lots of Dewalt tools and Dewalt batteries so this one makes perfect sense. It's a bit expensive but hey, you sometimes get what you pay for. Thank you sir for all your hard work! Like I've said in a lot of my comments, I look to you before I purchase!
Thanks and you are welcome!
There are a lot of pump options and the market is really inflated
Brandon PowerStroke lol. You cool
Thanks for watching
Oof. You need to leave good sir. Door's that way.
a regulator is needed
Oof really sucked all the air outta the room with that one.
At 2:30 the Avid Power's manual warns that the pressure display is not calibrated and to use a reliable measuring device to check. No wonder at 2:56 it's 18 PSI.
Great point! It's way off
whats the point of even having a pressure gauge (especially if it's supposed to auto-shutoff) if its going to be THAT far off? i can understand ~5psi deviation, but this inflator is so far off i'm wondering if you had a defective one.
The Gauge has actually 4 different modes, is it in PSI mode for sure? That much difference seems way to much to believe :D
@@Koichifirst I don't know what the 4th mode could be, but that number is nowhere near the measurement in kPa, bars, or psi
Edit, so I found the last mode would be kg/cubic centimeter and yeah it's not that one either. And if you look carefully when he shows the display of the gauge, you can just barely makeout that the gauge says it is in psi mode
If milwaukee came out with a m18 pump it would compete with the dewalt but for the m12 version it did great
Great point!
Ryobi has one more akin to the DeWalt and bauer designs. I'm curious how it would compare. I was disappointed in the Bauer. And impressed by the handheld Ryobi. Basically, they were the opposite of what I predicted.
The pump is one of only two M12 tools I own, the rest are M18. My Pump works great with a 4ah XC battery. I actually couldn't ask for more. I also have the Ryobi bigger pump. It's taken a beating through the years, and I just retired it because the Display is now all wonky and unreadable, but the pump still works, LOL
My friend - I was in the market for a new tire inflator and will buy the Pittsburgh unit from Harbor Freight. It is the first and only product I have ever bought from Harbor Freight. I watched your two videos and saw that you tore down the unit and it had largely metal as opposed to Nylon 66 type components. I have a lower pressure passenger car application and don't care if it takes a few more minutes to inflate the tire no problem. My issue with these lithium battery powered units is that batteries are not standardized and thus I have proliferation of batteries and chargers. In any case, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to test all of these units using a sound methodology and that you are independent and do not accept compensation from manufacturers or other 3rd parties. You are saving viewers a great deal of time and money. I don't buy anything without searching your videos to see if you have tested something first. Thank You! 🙂🙂
Thanks for sharing.
First time here and the detail in the first minute tells me that I will not be disappointed. SUBSCRIBED!

Has saved me a lot of money around my garage.
I’ve used the air hawk to pressure up natural gas pipes on a house for the inspection and pressure test.
Thank you!
What psi do you go to? Isn't most residential NG 5-8 psi? I just use soapy water and pay special attention to unions and ball valves (the few times I have to hook up)
@@shimes424 I went to 10 psi and let it sit for a few days just to be sure before the inspector came to do the official test. The battery power option was handy.
I'm just gonna say it... That little Ryobi is kinda a bad ass!
Small and powerful!
Until it fails at about 1 year!
@@markmailander6441 3 year warranty on all Ryobi products. Take it back to the home Depot and get a new one! 👍
Back in the 1960s and 70s I had a device that pumped up tires by removing a spark plug from one cylinder, then running the engine to pump the tire up. It was a simple vinyl hose and one way valve with a tire stem adapter. It worked just great!
Thanks for sharing.
To take out that plug nowadays you would be faster pushing the car by hand 5 miles to the nearest service station. LOL
@@garys9694 haha truth tbh
Ryobi has another inflator similar to the DeWalt. I was hoping you would have tested that one. I have it and love it.
came here to say this, it's great and i think like half the price of this one
Those tires sure had their ups and downs today !😂
lol
I see what you did there...
Ha.. ha.. 🙄
HAHAHA I GET IT CUZ THE TIRE WAS DEFLATED AND WAS DOWN THEN INFLATED AND IT WENT UP WHICH IS WHY YOU SAID IT HAD THEIR UPS AND DOWNS LIKE WHEN IT WAS DEFLATED AND INFLATED HAHAHAHAHA
I bought the Milwaukee last year and it hasn’t disappointed!
Thank You 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the feedback!
I bought the DeWalt a few months ago, but it only cost about $120. I didn't want to spend that much, recently moved from an area with a convenience store chain with free air . I have two tires with slow leaks, I got tired of spending $2 for air, and the pump didn't even work half the time.
So after reading about the problems with the cheaper units available, I get the DeWalt. No regrets at all! Fairly quick, accurate, easy to use, no cool down time necessary, runs on battery or 12v plug in lighter. I also find out I saved $80!
Nice! Thanks for sharing.!
You never know when you need one so this is good for someone looking for the best one to buy.
Thanks!
I bought the Ryobi. Since this video they updated to a digital guage. I already had batteries and chargers, so it only cost $25. It's fantastic.
Works great...
I have the ryobi dual inflator. I think it was around $50. It's great too. I leave it in the back of my vehicle in case tpms goes off. Saves me the time on running to get free air at the local wawa or quick Chek.
I really wish I didn't have DeWalt everything else. I just want a cheap attachment to add to my screwgun....or a cheap DeWalt that will use my batteries.
@@humancomputerinteraction8237 You can buy a Dewalt to Ryobi battery adapter.
I like my Milwaukee inflator and would recommend them to prospective buyers.
Thank you

I did buy the Ryobi and I ran it yesterday for the first time. I'm very impressed! I topped off two tires (smaller one had around 20 psi - I pumped to 35. Then the other tire had 26 psi - I pumped it to 35 - low profile tire. Both tires were filled in less than 5 minutes and the pump worked great!
Your testing was perfect! Thanks again!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
You by far, are my favorite test channel. The way you do your comparisons is fast, efficient, to the point, clear to quickly see whos product rises to the top. 👍🤩
Thanks!
I have the DeWalt unit and very impressed. The main reason I like it, is the plastic casing prevents me from getting burned. I was using one from O'reilly's which is just like your Harbor Freight unit. Additionally, the layout of the DeWalt unit is well thought out. It can run from 120v, Car 12v or the DeWalt battery. It just feels durable and quality... something hard to find these days. Very impressed. I can also air up all tires faster, because I don't have to reroute the power cord going from tire to tire.
Thanks for sharing.
Agree. I have it too and love it!
I bought a Hausbell portable air compressor tire inflator from Amazon early this year. It does 0.5 PSI above the setting you set it at to account for air loss when you take off the air hose. I was concerned as it was cheap at the time. Like $25. It has worked well so far
I have the Milwaukee M12 and it's hands-down one of the best purchases I've made. I have two compressors, one is a 3HP that's stored in the back shed and rarely sees use, and I have a cheapo $50 pancake compressor that I've been using to inflate tires. That unit is aggravating as it takes forever to fill and only has a small capacity. On top of that, it's just a "dumb" compressor and you frequently need to check the tire pressure. That Milwaukee is the best thing since sliced cheese for passenger and lite truck tires. No extension cords, and it fill tires fast and easy. I now keep my tires inflated properly because it's trivial to pull this little unit off the wall and air them up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I bought the Milwaukee M12 and it is fast compared to the one I have that has to be plugged in to charge. Also it is very portable so it will stay in my truck to keep the tires topped off.
Leaving a comment hoping that it will help you with the UA-cam algorithm. You truly deserve so much more attention than you receive. I’ve been watching your content (almost religiously) for years now.
I appreciate it Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
@@ProjectFarm no, thank you! Seriously! I just recently learned about the UA-cam algorithm thing otherwise I would have left you so many more comments. You do so much for your community it’s seriously underrated.. I recently (a few months ago) became a patreon and you deserve every cent plus some. There really isn’t a single channel on this platform like yours. Or any platform for that matter. You’re amazing. You provide facts with evidence while being completely unbiased. You seem to be a very kind soul. You almost always perform scientific experiments and it’s very entertaining. I truly wish you the best in life. I wish there were millions more like you. You set an awesome example for growing generations. My nephew looks up to you and it makes me proud. Thank you.
Ryobi did very well also, not to mention they have a new digital version of the same pump and it's currently only $20 at HD. Also They have another unit for $50 with the same inflators that is much more comparable to the Dewalt and Milwaukee models. I have both and they are great!
Thanks for sharing.
Dearest Farm Boy - I really like when you add a fun test to your videos. Your experiments are equally instructional and entertaining. I had a blast.
Thank you very much!
as...you...wish
I have and love the milwaukee pump. It seems to take forever on my tractor rear tires which are around 35's but it gets the job done. I've run it over time and it keeps going.
Thanks for the awesome well thought out and hard working reviews.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I watched 1 video of PF and instantly subscribed when the man said I’m not influenced by the brands. Biased recommendations are hard to find now a days.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Have you ever thought about testing gas vs electric chainsaws or having an electric chainsaws shootout? Love the channel!
Thank you for the video idea!
I 100% agree I love gas chainsaws and thought it would be a creative video idea
I was given the airhawk as a gift, worked for 5 mins then never again.
Oh no
You guys just saved me a whoooooooole lot of trouble. I bought the Hudson Pro tire inflator and tried to use it. The directions had me turning the power to the (II) position, high volume to pump up my tires. I'm not really a do it yourself ER, but I also refuse to pay for air at a gas station. I watched you use the Bauer brand on here which is built similar to the Hudson Pro and saw that the directions were wrong. I switched the power to (I) and it switched over to the tire inflator. Love you all's channel and I have learned a lot. I have also bought some of your recommendations. So, thank you guys for testing this stuff out so we laymen can make an informed decision. 👍
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
Thank you very much for making these videos Sir, I am a video editor myself so I know the amount of work that it must take for you to put this and your previous video together. Well done, excellent video editing especially with the thermal camera footage and all. THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU once more. I have found this video so helpful.
You're very welcome!
Awesome video! As I've commented before, I provide roadside assistance for a living! I've used a cheap RadioShack 12v pump and both the 12v Ryobi pumps. They sell a $50 one that has the high volume pump along with a digital set it and forget it backlit gauge. I believe it pumps the same speed as the $20 one. They used to last me about six months using them at least once a day on average. I never let the units rest however and they would sometimes get wet in the rain. I recommend them for average consumers but not for commercial use. I really like my Smittybilt 2781. It's rated for up to 45 amps of current draw and therefore must be directly connected to a 12v battery. It has an inflation rating of 5.65 cubic feet per minute. For the money, the speed is well worth it. I am saving myself hours per year inflating tires for both customers and our personal vehicles. Highly recommend it!
Great feedback! Thank you
Matthew Stevenson cool! Can I ask a question? What is it like working as roadside assistance? I got a job today as a Diesel mechanic. I’m a in-shop rn! But I’m curious; our on-road trucks have a Honda NX compressor. So we don’t really carry smaller ones; or have a need to. Tho I do carry a 12v Ryobi in my Miata xD
@@blecgaming9069 It's a great job if you don't like having a boss. Good tips and lots to learn. Lots of driving too!
Matthew Stevenson I love driving!and I really enjoyed and miss my motorcycle I traded for my 04 Miata. But it didn’t carry enough stuff for my school, and soon to be college classes.
I just want to say, that if you already use Ryobi tools, and have batteries and a charger. The Ryobi pump is only 25 bucks or so, and so in my opinion, is a clear winner in that case.
I agree entirely. One of my best value purchases in a long time!!
For sure. But really the larger (and automatic) P747 is actually cheaper. That is the one he should have tested. Great unit, I use it all the time.
The Ryobi kicks butt. Best addition to date.
That's funny because my Ryobi just bit the bullet last week after only 5-6 uses.
Batteries are the deciding factor with a lot of cordless tools. They use to be stock items. Gotta gouge consumers more after year.
I have owned the Milwaukee inflator for almost one year and find it capable of "topping off" higher pressure tires. The rears on my truck run 80 psi and I can run them up from 65 psi without issue when I rotate front to back. I have not had the opportunity to start from zero so it's good to know it will take two batteries. Thanks for another great video.
You are welcome!
It's nice that the Bauer and the DeWalt both offer high volume inflators as well. Even some of the better high pressure inflators are not well suited for inflating high volume items like pool floaties. Personally, I use my 12V Viair 300P for high pressure, and my cordless 20V DeWalt DCE100 for high volume inflation. I've thought about replacing the Viair with a cordless device, but it just works so well, and 12V power is never far away from my tires. I'm quite confident the Viair 300P would do a much better job getting that truck tire to 80psi.
Thanks for the feedback.

Dewalt: ight imma head out
Hahaha its camera shy
I just bought a pack of GE LEDs and they all blew out in my house. I know my area has some fluctuation in power but LEDs should account for that. Maybe do a comparison of LEDs and run them at lower voltages and higher voltages to see how they would stand over time.
This is why you ought to use a constant current driver when powering LEDs
@@Dansk55 E26/E27 standard socket LED bulbs should have control circuitry built in and shouldn't need any external ballast like a fluorescent tube or a driver like bare LED units need. I would be more concerned with the power coming out of the wall and would want to test the household voltage, current, and frequency, maybe even hook up a scope to see what the waveform looks like. It's possible there was a lightning strike-induced surge because that situation sounds very strange. In a lot of places you can get LED bulbs for ~$1 or less each, subsidized by the local electric utility. I use Philips Hue bulbs where I live, and the cheap LEDs in the basement/outside and have never had a widespread issue like that. Ironically enough, I had a bunch of the GU24 socket bulbs that were installed for free and almost all of those have gone bad over time, and the power company no longer gives those away because there was (clearly) a quality issue with them. Bought GU24 to E26/27 adapters which takes away the whole point of the GU24 socket but now have bulbs that actually work.
@@MittyNuke1 Put down the meth pipe
The way you check things it’s so down to earth..
And anyone can understand them
Just a quick update. The Ryobi now has a digital gauge and I've found it to be spot-on accurate with my tire gauge. It's still a unit that requires the trigger to be held on manually.
Thanks for the feedback.
You tube is really trying to challenge me, and yes I will watch the entire 11 minute ad for project farm!
Thank you very much!!
This was one of my ideas! i love seeing that, i really wish you would have tested the ryobi air station. the one with the inflater and tire inflater. its really good and i think it would have crushed some of the competition!! thanks for the great content!
Thank you very much for requesting this one and great point on the Ryobi air station.
@@ProjectFarm Thank you! other video ideas. What laundry detergent is best liquid or the pods or powder, what jack is best, do stain sticks actually help with stains or not(laundry stain pens) what dish washing detergent is best liquid or powder. just some ideas i have, don't know if they are ones you would do or not.
I had both and can definitely say the air station is night and day difference. Now you have the ryobi battery you can get the bare tool cheaper
I use to research ever thing my self and now I just watch all his videos. Super good job man.
Me to.
Absolutely LOVE this channel!!! It isn't just the time, effort and broad spectrum testing on multiple products. It's the out of pocket $ to keep the tests independent. Especially now with the economic meltdown and number of people impacted by mandates.
For diesel owners/truckers the anti-gel/lubricity showdown was SPOT ON! 911 is wasted $.
Thank You Todd!!! Very much appreciated.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'm going to update a review I left on Hot Shot Diesel Secret. The HSDS EXTREME is even better.
Not connected to them in any way at all. Canadian trucker who transitioned into a niche branch of transportation and using 911 as fuel additive in winter to keep the company happy doing "due diligence" in N Dakota, MN etc almost killed 2 guys I work with and one of mine froze up south of Grand Junction,ND couple years back because I didn't have this stuff at the time. We fly a lot. Can't transport this stuff like a trucker living in a rig.
Not even sure you'll get this stuff ordering online now shipped with everything going on now. The ONLY truck stop I know of that sells this specific formulation is the Flying J in W Bismarck,ND 5 miles up the road from the manufacturer. They really NAILED this product!!! I went with Standadyne Performance for my Jetta TDI and it aint bad as your tests demonstrated for lubricity/anti gelling properties. But it comes in second for a reason.
Made in America is getting harder to find at a very real cost to everyone now. The personal $ you spend testing products truly independently is very much appreciated but I honestly think Hot Shot should contact you with some sort of remuneration/sponsorship.
The emissions systems added to diesels now along with COSTLY bound to fail parts and repairs make personal diesels stupid at this point. But commercial vehicles aren't EV anytime soon.
You help a LOT of people with your channel! If this gets you a sideline income as a distributor for a genuinely GOOD product it's a win/win for both parties duly owed in my opinion.
If America goes down we are all fucked!!! The sooner we start co-operating the better. Canada right now is Weimer Germany in '38. Many are trying to fight it now but it's an uphill battle.
Todd. You are a Super Cool Cat!!! Thank You. 👍👍🇨🇦
