Upgrading to a Milwaukee Tyre Inflator.

[djb222]

After many a year using a "keep fit" foot pump to inflate my car tyres and dabbling with plug in tyre inflator, which was a bit cack, and using a compressor, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a portable tyre inflator to keep all my cars suitably filled with air. I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to tools, however the inflator I bought is an absolute joy to use. I bought the Milwaukee M12 inflator which uses rechargeable batteries used in the M12 range of tools. From a few tests it's fast to inflate a flat tyre, if it's not punctured!!,  and accurate.

I've done a review of the inflator, below, if you're interested. As I said I'm pleased with my purchase, the only problem is there are over 100 other tools in the M12 system and I can't stop browsing .....in fact I've pressed the buy button another three times, but that's for another post!!!

How often are you needing to pump tyres up?

[djb222]

fairly frequently recently, had a slow leak on one of the cars, which now seems to have sealed itself.  plus I have two other cars not being used so as I usually check all the cars every week...sometimes they need topping up.

I bought one of those PSA branded tyre inflators on ebay for £15.  It does pretty well and runs off the 12v socket.

I know what you mean. I have bought a few more since buying my M18 impact. Last item I bought was an M18 strimmer!! I also have some M12, so doubly tempted

I've got an M12 impact gun and ratchet and they're great. I've used this inflator and it's only the cost that puts me off-it's a great little bit of kit.

I went all out the other day on Milwaukee M12 kit. Had a go today with the die grinder and impact. I think they'll be getting an awful lot of use.

I did see the tyre inflators and was awfully tempted. I usually use my compressor but sometimes that's quite a lot of hassle when you just need to run round and pump up the tyres. Especially when I'm pumping up to 40psi to put stuff away for the winter. Just I spent a bit too much so far this month on tools.

Why has this topic been moved? How is a car tyre inflator not motoring related?

Resolved.  We aim to please.
