I just got mine last week,M12 and 2 batt and a charger $129 and tax at HD online. I’m happy and been filling up all my tires just for the heck of using it. This mini is fun to have. My air compressor is collecting dust now.
Thanks for the review on this product. Came home to a flat on my car earlier today. I'm miles from any kind of fill up station. Started searching for a good tire inflator online available at one of the local stores. Went on a whim and ran my ass to home depot with 10 minutes to spare before they closed. Bought this unit and a 2 pack of batteries. It ran me $180 out the door, I did purchase an additional 2 year warranty with home depot for an extra $12. All of my Milwaukee tools are M18 series so I was a bit disappointed I had to buy the M12 batteries but i'm sure i'll get good use out this thing. I love Milwaukees tool line up.
I have owned my for long time now. It gets kicked around the back of my service truck daily. The unit is a little beast. If it dies I will buy it again.
Good tip on portable inflator. Beginning in spring 2020, I expect to visiting the drag strip more frequently and I will want to lower pressure of drag radials at track then increase them for drive home. In addition to Milwakee 2475-20 unit there is also the slightly more expensive DEWALT DCC020IB 20V Max Inflator. The DeWalt may have advantages of less issues with Chinese clones (some Amazon customers are finding that batteries stated as Milwaukee are not always provided) plus I have DeWalt tools and their chargers will likely work with the DCC0201B. Either way - you did us a great service putting this tool on our radar. Thank you!
I love the idea of this one, and like you; I have read a lot about it. I came to a different conclusion however, that being that it doesn't really suit my needs, or what I envision likely using it for, which was going off road/trails, and filling my tires back up. I also wish they had made it a fuel model, with a brushless motor, the power improvement isn't needed so much as the efficiency improvement. But, then again? Power is kind of lacking. I wish they would come out with an M18 version, with an independant cooling fan so that it can have a really solid duty cycle, and leave the fan on, while the motor is off, to cool it down faster. But, glad it works for you and your needs!
I pretty much need something like this for the same reasons. Multiple vehicles and a car trailer. I love milwaukee tools and just picked up a m18 fuel hackzall. Im leaning towards getting this inflater. I just wished they had a similar m18 version with more power.
Great presentation. Good for long trips, keep in the car in case of puncture, plus a Milwaukee impact, spare battery, tire plugs, jack and you’re set. Doesn’t hog space either.
My hose diconnected inside the unit, I assume there is no Strain relief or the hose and it was not secured to the nipple with a small hose clamp and no I did not left the M12 by the hose although if a strain relief was installed none of the above would have occured???
This looks great, small and the auto shutoff at the set psi....it sucks especially winter time in wisconsin fill the tire check the pressure oh needs a little more so do it again and again and again.
I used this on my Chevy 3500 and my F350 80psi rated tires they were low some were in the +50psi some in the +60psi range and I put them up to 75psi.... It works great, love it, but you want to fallow the 10min on 10min off rule in the owners manual... One tire was about 5mins range on those pressures I just told you about. One 1.5ah battery did 1 1/4 of a tire and the 4ah did 2 1/2 the Ford is a dually with a flat deck and the Chevy has a canopy with alot of tools in it so quite a bit of weight in the Chevy at least.... If you were inflating the tires from scratch 0psi you would want to give the inflator a break as it would be about 20 mins to inflate, see owners manual about over heating the thing.
Great video. You explain your need, why your alternatives don't work and actually got to product testing within 6 minutes. First time on your channel and you aren't mainly a review channel but very detailed review
I got as a gift from my wife 😌. One thing the battery that came with is a cp1.5 and I had to inflate 2 tires to 40 psi the battery 100 % dies right after the second one . It did the job but I need to get the battery you have thanks for showing that . What is the model for it ?
I have one of these for a year or so. I use it to fill my Camaro tires up to 40psi for winter storage. It takes a while and will run through 2 small 2.0 batteries to go from 32 to 40 on 4 tires. Again great battery compatibility. I Love it. I need to. Get the large 6.0 battery for my m12 stuff.
Will it blow up a blow up doll? A BBW doll? Lol but seriously I looked into this and was about to pull the trigger when at Costco I saw a CAT compressor/battery jumper and I love it, one charge lasts months
Yes it will air up at BMW tire The negative thing about this product when it's 2 years old and you Try to blow up your BMW tire again the compressor will blow
Circling back to provide feedback after considering the Milwaukee, the DeWalt, and the Ryobi inflators. I opted to follow your path Matt. I purchased a new Milwaukee 2475 as well as the compatible AC battery charger and two 12V 5.0Ah extended capacity batteries (so when I go to track I can refill drag radials back up to street pressure). Sourced them from eBay and Amazon at very reasonable prices. Tried it out today on my 3 cars, with each car requiring not much more than a 2-3 pounds inflation for 1-2 tires. Makes some noise but not objectionable and doesn't move from where it is placed. Quick fill after attach to tire valve stem. What I found particuarly useful was the readout of current pressure which means you do not have to fool around with guage. This is a great tool! And now I no longer have to find gas stations with air pump, let alone pay $1-1.50 for the privilege of using that pump, after you go to hassle to locate quarters or go inside to make change-ughhh! Thank you again for surfacing this! :)
I'm always afraid of this. My dad use to work on tires of all kinds (for semi's and big equipment) and he had some stories of tries blowing up and shit like that.
Be nice to know exactly what this cost. Was pretty confusing hundred-ish bucks or 50 bucks," because it's $160 with a couple batteries - $130 tool only - today.
This tool is absolutely insane! I just got mine today, and for laughs I tried it on my fuel truck. One tire has been leaking over time, was down to 5,35 bar (77,5 PSI). One 4.0 battery got it up to 6,5 bar (94,25 PSI) before the battery ran low.
Another handy tool to persuade me to get into the Milwaukee M12 system vs. some of their competitors. I'm a young guy and just have one car, and it's a boring daily driver, not a drag car I would be adjusting pressures for track use all the time, but I do use all season tires on it all year round so temperature changes and time affect the tire pressure. I have access to a fairly large air compressor in a detached garage but it's semi-permanently installed in there and it's a pain having to fish the hose across the garage and out of a man door and across the driveway to where my car is parked. Would be so much easier to have this little cordless unit to just set at the car and top off my tires when needed. Also would be nice to fill some air mattresses I have for family that visits from out of state. It would also be very nice once I move out of home and probably into a small apartment where I likely wouldn't have the room or noise allowance for a traditional compressor. Is this like the other M12 tools where a 4.0 or 6.0mah XC battery would give it a little more pep to inflate even faster?
Yes, higher capacity batteries in any tool system will make for better performance. the tool has access to more amperage to work with because the battery’s protection circuit allows more current flow because of the extra capacity.
Hey bro I have a question will doing a muff delete x pipe or any type exhaust modification void ur warranty ? and if I got a catback corsa extreme exhaust void my warranty ? 😁🤔
The compound used in present day tires seems to leak air from the tires to say nothing of the wild temprature changes, 30 years ago it was very rare that the tires had to be inflated, todays technology is diffrent, less rubber more???
how accurate is this product to the actual PSI being set? Sorry if you said it in the video, I had to watch it without audio :( I would appreciate a response! Thank you
It’s only good for little car tires. On a semi or heavy duty trucks this thing takes 2 full 6.0 m 12 batteries to air all tires. And most of the time it gets overheated and shuts off in the middle of inflation.
Dont bother with Any of those tankless cordless inflators. Most are not designed to run more than 5 minutes without being off to cool for 5 minutes. The only ones I would consider are the larger 1-2 gallon cordless Milwaukee, Ryobi, Dewalt etc air compressors with a 1.5-2gallon tank. They have cordless ones now! They don't overheat, they are double the CFM at least, and will have no problem airing up a 3/4 or 1ton pickup/SUV tire. They wont run any tools besides a small finish nailer but are great for tires! I don't want to wait a half an hour or more to air up a tire and risk meltdown with these so called "inflators" anyway. Unfortunately they do cost more, but you get a ton more air compressor for that. I sure don't want to depend on these tiny inadequate "inflators" when I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere needing a tire filled. 15 minutes to air up a car or small truck tire to 35psi or air a basketball up is not even worth taking home imho.
High pressure / low volume. Overall I like mine. Well... except when it sent my girlfriend sailing through the air, Turns out a 100 psi was too much for my hard bodied girl... R.I.P Ursula..😔
Along with a Longacre 52-53003 Semi Pro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge, I keep the Milwaukee 2475-20 in a bag in my trunk. For the sake of gas mileage and tire wear, I am very anal about tire pressure, tire rotations, tire balancing, and wheel alignments. The problem is my mother is always asking me to check her tires. Because she's 93yo, I give her a break.
Only thing id say Milwaukee needs to do is make it battery powered but have a plug so u can hook it into a wall/inverter socket if ur batterys are dead
Every time i see this comment I'm like... It's made to give you one more REASON to buy/use their batteries. Why would they give you a way to circumvent that? Plus half the point of this is you don't need the cord. Those 12v cords are a pain in the ass when u have to circle around your vehicle to fill 4+ tires and it never reaches so you have to pass it thru the car from one side of the other.
How about you demonstrate inflating a low tire to a normal pressure so we can see how long it takes to inflate to a normal pressure? Like 33-35psi? We don't care that you like your Camaro tires at 22 psi! Show how long to inflate a normal tire to normal pressure.

Skip to 2:51. You'll thank me later.
I have the M18 fuel air compressor I keep in my trunk instead. It is really nice for airing tires up. It has a 2 gallon tank.
Wife got me this for Christmas for my 6th gen as well! Love it!

Right now at home depot you buy the 2 battery charger with bag and you get the inflator free.
I love the idea of this one, and like you; I have read a lot about it. I came to a different conclusion however, that being that it doesn't really suit my needs, or what I envision likely using it for, which was going off road/trails, and filling my tires back up.

I pretty much need something like this for the same reasons. Multiple vehicles and a car trailer. I love milwaukee tools and just picked up a m18 fuel hackzall. Im leaning towards getting this inflater. I just wished they had a similar m18 version with more power.
One thing to note, instructions tell you to rest it 10 minutes after 10 minutes use
Great presentation. Good for long trips, keep in the car in case of puncture, plus a Milwaukee impact, spare battery, tire plugs, jack and you’re set. Doesn’t hog space either.
I've just bought one today. It is wonderful.
My hose diconnected inside the unit, I assume there is no Strain relief or the hose and it was not secured to the nipple with a small hose clamp and no I did not left the M12 by the hose although if a strain relief was installed none of the above would have occured???

If you were inflating the tires from scratch 0psi you would want to give the inflator a break as it would be about 20 mins to inflate, see owners manual about over heating the thing.
I am hoping that this is re-released with the new M18 fuel 5.0 Ah battery. I am curious how long the battery will last.... approx number of car tires?
Would be nice
Great video. You explain your need, why your alternatives don't work and actually got to product testing within 6 minutes. First time on your channel and you aren't mainly a review channel but very detailed review
Fantastic inflator
It sure is!
I got as a gift from my wife 😌. One thing the battery that came with is a cp1.5 and I had to inflate 2 tires to 40 psi the battery 100 % dies right after the second one . It did the job but I need to get the battery you have thanks for showing that .
What is the model for it ?
If it saves me a few trips lugging the 20 gallon around, im in!
Gotta get no-flats on the wheelbarrow!! 🎉

How fat is the doll ?
🤣

Thanks for the feedback
This was a great review man. I'm new to the Milwaukee line and I just bought into the M12 line. I'm definitely going to add this to my kit. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I am disappointed that it didn't give you correct reading for the ball. Are you sure it is not working for that purpose?
Yeah that was disappointing..
Soccer is gay. That’s why.
So as someone who’s had a side wall blow out while airing up, being able to walk away is hugely safe
I'm always afraid of this. My dad use to work on tires of all kinds (for semi's and big equipment) and he had some stories of tries blowing up and shit like that.
Luckily when this happen to me it was on the inside. Still needed a clean pair of underwear though.
Be nice to know exactly what this cost. Was pretty confusing hundred-ish bucks or 50 bucks," because it's $160 with a couple batteries - $130 tool only - today.

People say “the m18 is better” oh no shit. This does what it needs to quickly, and in the smallest possible package.
What’s the largest battery you can use on the m12 compact inflator?
Can it remove air? Like if your tires have too much air and you want to bring them down to a specific PSI?
Really good, get the 4ah.
Another handy tool to persuade me to get into the Milwaukee M12 system vs. some of their competitors. I'm a young guy and just have one car, and it's a boring daily driver, not a drag car I would be adjusting pressures for track use all the time, but I do use all season tires on it all year round so temperature changes and time affect the tire pressure.

Yes, higher capacity batteries in any tool system will make for better performance. the tool has access to more amperage to work with because the battery’s protection circuit allows more current flow because of the extra capacity.
Perfect for outdoor power equipment
can u blow air and remove dust with that example the pc etc ...?
Unfortunately no
Great review tool video thanks Lethal.
I don't have the milwaukee version, but i picked up a plug in one from amazon for 30 bucks. Wish it was battery operated vs plug in like this one.
I had a 12v cigarette lighter version and literally burned it with fire.
Wish it had the option to plug it in on 12v
Hey bro I have a question will doing a muff delete x pipe or any type exhaust modification void ur warranty ? and if I got a catback corsa extreme exhaust void my warranty ? 😁🤔
It will void your exhaust warranty. But modifying anything after the cats shouldn’t cause any sort of warranty issues.
LethalGarage so ur exhaust has it own separate warranty
AJ_Games everything in your car has a warranty minus fluids.
Ohhh ok that make sense
The compound used in present day tires seems to leak air from the tires to say nothing of the wild temprature changes, 30 years ago it was very rare that the tires had to be inflated, todays technology is diffrent, less rubber more???
How long does the battery last and should the battery not stay in it?
Way better than the air compressor that comes with the 6Gen
Mine didn’t come with one ;)
Those wheels are dope on that Camaro bro
Thanks
Dude, I just had America Tire Co. top off my Fifty today. Thanks for the review, definitely in the market for one of these.
Excellent demonstration. Thanks.
how accurate is this product to the actual PSI being set? Sorry if you said it in the video, I had to watch it without audio :( I would appreciate a response! Thank you
A Cadillac piece, but less stress at the track could be worth it!
I like the m18 compressor too
I have 47 tires to care for... this could be worth a look at...I hate when im ready and the tires aren't
47? Make sure to have some back up batteries
Thanks for sharing i will be purchasing one soon
I want to see it fill up the truck tires
Is there one that’s budget friendly? Less than $100
It’s only good for little car tires. On a semi or heavy duty trucks this thing takes 2 full 6.0 m 12 batteries to air all tires. And most of the time it gets overheated and shuts off in the middle of inflation.
Mine doesn't seem to be working properly. My ex gave me it but kept the newer one for homself.
I have a grip of m12 batteries, I want this along with the speaker for summer lake days
Has this still lasted ?
Still going, no issues
@@Lethalgarage I appreciate the reply. Been needing a good portable air compressor and this will do it.
@@gummygamer396 I recently purchased the M18 version. Haven’t even unboxed it yet.
More cheap junk. Fills maybe 2 standard car tires then change the battery. Way overpriced China made junk
Cool product!

A 1/4 way through the video before we even start talking about the actual compressor.
Complain more!
Id like to see that work in November in Chemult Oregon on a 24.5 kenworth with 33950 on the drive axle
What’s the matter with you?
The only thing lethal about this review is the time it takes to get to the actual review.
Only thing id say Milwaukee needs to do is make it battery powered but have a plug so u can hook it into a wall/inverter socket if ur batterys are dead
Will this deflate?
It will not actively pump air out.
I use my viair and love it
Nice maro and welds. I have s71 on my trans am
Wow it can set to the desire psi? Nice thats something for a lady who has a hard time using manual stuffs n cant get on thr kneezzzzz!
They need a car 12v power plug

It's good
Newsflash the majority of those compressors are automatic shut off
swear you used it wrong for the soccer ball, you kept pulling it out
I like it
I wouldn't call it a "compressor." The Milwaukee tool is an "INFLATOR."
I bought myself one
How about you demonstrate inflating a low tire to a normal pressure so we can see how long it takes to inflate to a normal pressure? Like 33-35psi? We don't care that you like your Camaro tires at 22 psi! Show how long to inflate a normal tire to normal pressure.
Make the soccer ball blow up.
Doesn't like 12v cig pump. Buys 12v pump
I like the Dewalt Tire Inflators better
but Alot better than going to gas station or Americas Tire
This is $100 now
We would have preferred you used your editing skills on the sound rather than the time
I lack all the skills
Great video but your price is completely inaccurate. It’s estimated to $160 to $200 for the entire set up battery included.
Price was based on the time the video was uploaded. Have to keep that in mind.
Do not buy the Milwaukee air compressor The thing is garbage when it gets 2 years old
Blah blah blah... off on a tangent about nothing to do with reality. Better videos else where..
You talk way too much
Watches a review for info and complains about talking. Millennials and Gen z’s killing me.
