Can do guys, but if you compare the times between our M12 video and this one you will see the Dewalt is faster. BUTm the DEWALT has to rest for 20 minutes after 10 minutes of use where the Milwaukee has to rest 10 minutes after 10 minute of use.
Excellent review. Just a note that the manual states that the 10 minute max runtime followed by a 20 minute rest period applies only when the PSI of the item being inflated is greater than 100.
Either way... These little compressors build heat very quick and don't have a good way to dissipate that heat due to the compact size. Heat kills. It's always best to give it a break to cool as much as possible.
My current 2020 version has a clip for the plastic piece of the right side for high volume pumping that was dangling in the review video. Bought the inflator at Home Depot for $99 tool only without battery. So far very happy with the quality. I love the auto shutoff. As a dewalt 20v tool owner I have spare batteries to use for this tool. It does have DC cord. They do offer an ac adapter as a separate option but I don’t see the need.
Mine too. I bet @WorkshopAddict's does too, but I'm glad I saw this review, as I might have taken it off and not realized the clip was there to put it back. It's on the bottom of the right side, if anyone is looking for it.
I use this thing and it is AWSOME. I take care of some X-Ray vans that are on Ram ProMaster chassis. I pack it in a suitcase without the lithium batteries. I carry those in my carry on luggage. The tires need 65 on front and 80 psi on the rear. This is better than some plug in small volume compressors. It is essential for my work. A++
*Great air pump **MyBest.Tools** Faster than my old plug in pump and twice as handy without having to drag the cord around.And it works with my existing Ryobi drills battery.*
Just picked one up! Can’t believe they did not include the ac adaptor but mine from Home Depot came with a 1.5 amp battery for $79! Prefer this to constantly rechecking tire pressure and have to let air out from over inflation, thanks for the review!
Hey Brian there is a clip on the bottom of the unit for the hose you used to Inflate the basketball, so you don't need to remove it. Just wanted to let you know.
6:22 This is the best point to be made. I think my original tires wore down faster since the PSI's weren't more closely maintained the first 2 years. My next set of tires will have the correct PSI year-round with this convenient tool.
On the newer units (mine is a 2023 model) there is a clip style holder for the adaptor on the high volume hose on the underside of the unit, so it no longer sticks out!
just bought this and used it for the first time. I never tried it till today. I can't get this thing to work. Wants to start, sometimes. But it just never starts. Volume inflator works, but not for tires. I think I'm over the 3 months. DAMN. Lesson Learned. I suspect its another switch problem. I had a switch problem on Dewalt saw. I may have to switch from dewalt.
Call for service. They will tell you to take it to a local service center. Your loacal service center will yell you they won't work on it. Call service back and tell them and they will send you a new one.
@@WorkshopAddict Thanks a bunch for the info. Sometimes (often in fact) I don't open stuff till I need it. Took a little time for this one. Thanks again.
Picked up mine 2 days ago and I’m very happy with it and it’s a darn pretty accurate according to my jaco digital tire pressure gauge, I’m looking to get some battery but looking for the one who are made in Korean, I heard the one made in china and Malaysia are not doing quality ! Any recommendations where can I find them ? Thanks again for your beautiful review
Some Safety Tips Ensure your air compressor is only used with outlets that have the proper grounding. If you plug an air compressor into an incorrectly grounded outlet, it could damage the machine’s electrical circuitry and even cause a fire. When using either type of portable compressor it is a good idea to keep the vehicle running. This will keep the battery from discharging and provide a more consistent 13.5 volts DC to the compressor’s motor. 10A current draw for 10minutes - what does that do to your cars wiring?
Great review as usual. Headed to store now. Your reviews have proven their worthiness based upon my last couple of purchases. Keep up the good work. And I already have Dewalt batteries so this is a no brainer.
If you are in a pinch, you CAN run this nonstop for longer at your own risk. I ran this for 2 hours and 9 minutes nonstop in my torture test video on my channel. Still works, just ran out of battery (15 AH)
Just purchased mine today. Good knowing about the ten minute run time,as I hate manuals 😊 My tire started going flat during lunch at BP, and across the parking lot is a Canadian Tire . I bought there Motomaster brand that fits In your hand like a drill, but returned it this morning when I got home and found out Dewalt made this unit your reviewing . I have a plethora of Dewalt tools , so this just made sense . I’m wondering if leaving the battery connected to the compressor will drain it over time, and should I leave the battery detached ? I’m basically going to leave this unit in my 2016 F150 , and keep it stored under the rear seat just incase I have another incident. Liked and subscribed 😊
I have this inflator as well. With the AC corded adapter DeWalt N557514 power supply. Works amazing. However with any computer pressure regulated system. My concern is if the module ever fails there are no replacement parts listings for these units. This system should have some kind heat protection setup. Or they should have built it like a regular compressor but compact and same size. I also agree that they should have made the dial a bit more robust rather than all the sloppy play in it. Other than that it works amazing. Only time will tell how long these units will last through constant use.
Disappointing that the AC ability is optional. l have to buy more stuff in order for it to be a true three-way inflation tool. Also, how do you charge the battery?
Just picked one of these up. In the latest model, the accessory piece you talk about clips underneath. There's a little yellow connector it fits right into and stays out of the way.
Thanks for the video. Good job! I wanted to point out on the high volume hose with the piece that is in the way, if you turn it upside down you will see it has a place to click it in. I thought why is that in the way. After looking and trying to figure it out, I found the area it clicks in. Too funny. Check it out. You don't have to take the hose off. Thanks
Just got it,now ordering battery, I don't want deal with cigarette lighter cord.great for slow leaks that might happen so car is still temporarily roadworthy
I didn’t read through every comment so this may have been pointed out but the end cap for the raft/pool inflation hose has a clip it fits into on the bottom of the unit under where the hose stows onto the unit.
About that tube you tossed aside: You wound it around BACKWARDS and it DOES have a place for the nozzle to clamp UNDERNEATH the place you unwound it from keeping it in place.
HELP NEEDED PLEASE!! I purchased this unit a few days ago to inflate my flat tire and it works great! I understand that it has three different ways to power the unit. 1.) with the included 12v DC cord 2.) with flexvolt battery sold separately. 3.) with 120v AC cord sold separately. I am having trouble with number 3 I can't seem to find the correct cord/part I need to power it using the 120v AC cord. any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Would you say this is good for dusting off your clothing? Want something powerful enough to eliminate all the dust buildup from the day on the job site.
what if your driving in the rain and have to pull over because of a flat tire. i hooked this up to inflate the tire and sit in my car out of the rain and wait till its filled. will the rain ruin the compressor?
Chances are, you will not have a completely flat tire in that situation. If you did, an inflator will not help you anyway due to the size of hole. If you use it over the duty cycle once, it probably wont hurt it. If you do it over and over, it will shorten the life of the inflator.
I don't see anywhere where the AC house plug power cord is on here,and you didn't talk about it in the video either, it shows it on the box but it is not anywhere on the tool. second question is you also didn't talk about inflating bicycle tires is that something this tool can do and if so how we have looked at this and I can't figure it out unless it's something we have to buy extra
The AC plug is an accessory and not included with the tool. The tool can fill bike tires. If you have a Schrader valve, it screws right in. If you have the "other" style in higher end pikes, there is an adapter on the side of the tool that is brass that screws on so it fits.
Thank you for the detailed review. Pleas help. My question: does an attachment need to be fitted on the high pressure hose (# 10 tire hose) to inflate car tires? I have a Volvo V70 2001, the 12V DC Vehicle connector won't fit (too large) and the DeWalt (no air) to inflate the tire, however, I get air when the the High Volume Hose (mattress etc., don't need) is selected with a 20-Volt MAX Lithium- Ion Battery 3.0ah attached. The light works and the start button is very flimsy. Thank you.
I bought this unit because I like the auto-shutoff when tire pressure has been achieved; I've been using Slime infiltrators to fill our cars tires, if necessary on a monthly basis. But the Slime pressure gauge is off and I have to make a guesstimate. It is frustrating when I over inflate when checking with a tire pressure gauge and have to deflate and then go under the recommended pressure and have to re-inflate. I don't think the 10 minute run/20 minute rest will be a limitation. But, is the DeWalt Flexvolt 60V air compressor suitable for tire inflation and does it have auto shutoff? Or is the 60V overkill?
Quick question...if you plug this unit into the wall (120V) and then plug in a battery, will it charge the battery? Thanks for the video, great information!!
In the manual for my unit it mentions that the 10 minute time limit of use applies only when you are working with pressures above 100 PSI. Am I missing something?
@@WorkshopAddict I just bought one and the manual does say "if the pressure rating for the item being inflated exceeds 100 psi, note that run time is 10 minutes". I inflated my truck tire from 15 psi to 65 psi in 17 minutes nonstop and did not note and excessive heating.
It displays lo P and then automatically shuts off when I plug it into 12V and try to pump my bicycle wheel. Any ideas on how to use 12V to pump my wheels?
Wow I got burned 😅 you guys must be in the states. I just paid 180$ for mine. With no battery. I got 2 , 1.5 amp hour batteries already with my drill. Tho. I do like mine. They're could be a few changes. Door on both sides would be nice. And the battery thing is silly you would think they would account for people using bigger batteries. I like mine tho. Hate using air pumps at gas stations. The 12 volt adaptor sold it for me too. Pumps no good it you can't power it. The thread on the hose is great too. Set it and forget it.
Loved this but it’s reading pressure all wrong now. My wife used it and now the PSI readings are way wrong (flat tire reading 50 PSI now, when max is 10 PSI).
Solution to your air hose tip just hanging in the back. Yes it can easily be ripped off that way. I clamp mine into slot under the inflator and the hose goes into the next slot. Can’t post a pic or I’d show ya.
Visited HD this morning to see if they had in stock. I got the last one they had, $79 with battery. Put a fresh 1.5 battery in it when I got home and proceeded to fill my travel trailer tires. Taget pressure is 80 psi. All 4 tires were at 57 psi. Went through 3 charged 1.5 batteries and had to finish on 12 volt plug. Took a lot longer than I expected and ate right thru the batteries. Not real impressed.
Watch out for the high volume tube,. It says on the box 11 psi max. But I wouldn't go that high. I broke my Black and decker inflator 20V by going 0.5 psi on my paddle board . They gave me this DeWalt which is much better quality . Kudos for the warranty
Great and informative video once again thank you! Just picked this up at HD today. $99 w/ a 1.5AH free battery! I was wondering why they included such a small battery. Now I know why! No biggie. This, along with my Milwaukee inflator takes care of all of my maintenance needs!
Thanks to your observation & comment, DeWalt did some changes to the new models 👍 DeWalt has added a clip to the bottom of the large hose to hold the additional adapter attached to the end of the large hose that wraps around the end. Thank you for that. I took a picture of the new model & where that clip is, but I can't find a way to upload and show that phot here. If someone knows how I can add a photo to a comment, it would be much appreciated.
Bro , the little watch ama caleta you said is hanging. There is a small latch on the bottom . Where you can hook it up so its not dangling. My bad I haven’t notice its 2018 , we are now close to 2024 . Ive seen this inflator and it now has a latch. 😂
What is the advantage of using a 5.0 Ah battery over a 2.0 Ah battery. Does Dewalt recommend a particular battery to use. Just wondering if you use a battery with a higher Ah, if it would effect the life of the inflator. @@WorkshopAddict
@@richardlisacki2250 The higher Amp Hour battery will just give you a longer runtime between charges. With a 2.0 Ah battery, you might only be able to inflate 2 tires, where the 5.0 would probably do 4.
I a dewalt fan 4 years I love it I get a lot dewalt tool but I think this inflator is little bigger to carry the Milwaukee m12 has same power and less small size
where is the ac connection or do you need to purchase a separate ac to dc adaptor so when you are in the house the dc car plug can go into the adaptor and the adaptor plug into the home 120 v? It advertises THREE power sources but I only see the battery and the DC cigarette lighter adaptor
the Milwaukee one smashes this...dewalt needs a revamp, i refuse to convert but i use it weekly to pressurize gas pipes for inspection, and i want to stay team yellow
Still can't decide between one of these guys or the flexvolt compressor. Main application would be filling up AG tires that go flat in the lot over the winter nowhere near electricity. What would be your recommendation?
Justin D I think the DeWalt flexvolt compressor probably has a little bit more durability and if you're airing up something from completely flat it might last longer because large egg tires with this unit will take longer than 10 minutes to fill
Does this deflate car tires as well? I need one for off roading when deflating is needed. I read some reviews and I see some people mentioned that it only deflates balls and mattress, but not car tires, is that true?
Dewalt should incorporate this into their 1800 watt power station/charger system best of both worlds, you have portable power and a compressor at hand.
How does it compare to the m12 inflator in terms of speed? Maybe you can do a comparison test between the M12 ,the DeWalt and the ryobi.
+1 for an m12 direct comparison
Workshop Addict +1 more for this comparison
Can do guys, but if you compare the times between our M12 video and this one you will see the Dewalt is faster. BUTm the DEWALT has to rest for 20 minutes after 10 minutes of use where the Milwaukee has to rest 10 minutes after 10 minute of use.
Milwaukee m12 inflation pump but too hot temperature
I was literally about to ask the same question. Should I get this or the m12. My gut is telling me this but then the m12 is nice and compact. Help!!
Excellent review. Just a note that the manual states that the 10 minute max runtime followed by a 20 minute rest period applies only when the PSI of the item being inflated is greater than 100.

Solution to your air hose tip just hanging in the back. Yes it can easily be ripped off that way. I clamp mine into slot under the inflator and the hose goes into the next slot. Can’t post a pic or I’d show ya.
Does it come with 2 batterys or a case?
Can you or how do you deflate a ball with the smaller hose on the left?
Does the intake vent (Same size as hose exhaust vent) allow use as a vacuum? Or just a deflator?
just a deflator
Does it have battery clamps?
Visited HD this morning to see if they had in stock. I got the last one they had, $79 with battery. Put a fresh 1.5 battery in it when I got home and proceeded to fill my travel trailer tires. Taget pressure is 80 psi. All 4 tires were at 57 psi. Went through 3 charged 1.5 batteries and had to finish on 12 volt plug. Took a lot longer than I expected and ate right thru the batteries. Not real impressed.
You did not watch our video beforehand. You probably exceeded the duty cycle of 10 minutes of use and 20 minutes of rest.
I watched the video and didn't go over the 10 minute limit and let it rest. Maybe it would do better on a larger battery.
@@cigardude64 Not sure if it would be faster. 57 psi to 80 psi is a big jump. It should do it in less than 10 mins. a 5.0Ah would be ideal.
@@WorkshopAddict yes, I agree. It's on the wish list :)
Will it automatically shut off after the targeted PSI has been hit?
Yes
I just bought this unit. The is a clip for the nozzle at the very bottom
been using mine for over a year no duty cycle till get to 100 pounds dewalts website page 9 in the manual.
Watch out for the high volume tube,. It says on the box 11 psi max. But I wouldn't go that high. I broke my Black and decker inflator 20V by going 0.5 psi on my paddle board . They gave me this DeWalt which is much better quality . Kudos for the warranty
Great and informative video once again thank you! Just picked this up at HD today. $99 w/ a 1.5AH free battery! I was wondering why they included such a small battery. Now I know why! No biggie. This, along with my Milwaukee inflator takes care of all of my maintenance needs!
My life has changed with inflators!
Is a 20V 1.5 Ah small battery enough to run this unit?
@@stellan2240 Yes
I turned mine on and I ger Er 5 code. I connected it to my tire and I still get the same code.
Thanks to your observation & comment, DeWalt did some changes to the new models 👍
DeWalt has added a clip to the bottom of the large hose to hold the additional adapter attached to the end of the large hose that wraps around the end.
Thank you for that.
I took a picture of the new model & where that clip is, but I can't find a way to upload and show that phot here. If someone knows how I can add a photo to a comment, it would be much appreciated.
will this work to winterize my travel trailer?
It will not. You need a large volume of air to flow through your water lines and this cannot do it.
Great review, thanks for important little (hidden in the directions) info, most wont read. Best reviews....👍🏼
Joe Framer Thanks Joe
Thank You, I have one more question, if you don't mind. What charger model would you recommend for the 5Ah battery?
Check out this deal first: amzn.to/2Q7hjlK But the DCB107 is what I use.
Bro , the little watch ama caleta you said is hanging. There is a small latch on the bottom . Where you can hook it up so its not dangling. My bad I haven’t notice its 2018 , we are now close to 2024 . Ive seen this inflator and it now has a latch. 😂
Mine cuts off once connected to tire...my tire only shows 29psi...needed 35psi...not happy
Can you add other attachments like a blow gun?
I understand this does not come with a battery, charger, or AC power cord. Do you have any information on what battery or starter kit to purchase?
I would buy a minimum of a 2.0 Ah battery for this. I feel that a 4.0 or a 5.0 would be more ideal though.
What is the advantage of using a 5.0 Ah battery over a 2.0 Ah battery. Does Dewalt recommend a particular battery to use. Just wondering if you use a battery with a higher Ah, if it would effect the life of the inflator. @@WorkshopAddict
@@richardlisacki2250 The higher Amp Hour battery will just give you a longer runtime between charges. With a 2.0 Ah battery, you might only be able to inflate 2 tires, where the 5.0 would probably do 4.
I a dewalt fan 4 years I love it I get a lot dewalt tool but I think this inflator is little bigger to carry the Milwaukee m12 has same power and less small size
where is the ac connection or do you need to purchase a separate ac to dc adaptor so when you are in the house the dc car plug can go into the adaptor and the adaptor plug into the home 120 v? It advertises THREE power sources but I only see the battery and the DC cigarette lighter adaptor
AC cord is sold separately.
I’m heading out to buy one right now
the Milwaukee one smashes this...dewalt needs a revamp, i refuse to convert but i use it weekly to pressurize gas pipes for inspection, and i want to stay team yellow
That adapter for a raft or pool fits snug into that long screw hole next to it above the battery.
Still can't decide between one of these guys or the flexvolt compressor. Main application would be filling up AG tires that go flat in the lot over the winter nowhere near electricity. What would be your recommendation?
Justin D I think the DeWalt flexvolt compressor probably has a little bit more durability and if you're airing up something from completely flat it might last longer because large egg tires with this unit will take longer than 10 minutes to fill
If it’s plugged in does it double as a battery charger?
No, it will not charge.
Would this unit be good for winterizing RV water lines (30 to 40 psi) and blowing out those lines?
No, it cannot push the volume needed.
@@WorkshopAddict thanks
Does this deflate car tires as well? I need one for off roading when deflating is needed. I read some reviews and I see some people mentioned that it only deflates balls and mattress, but not car tires, is that true?
It will not deflate car tires. Sadly.
Dewalt should incorporate this into their 1800 watt power station/charger system best of both worlds, you have portable power and a compressor at hand.
Well nevermind I guess they sort of do that already on a different unit the DXAEPS2
can this seat the bead of a tire?
