Great Little Air Compressor

[Extreme1]

I just bought this cordless air compressor. It would be great for airing up bicycle tires at home. It’s on sale at Home Depot for $199.

Ive been using it to air up car tires too. It’s way easier than dragging an air hose across my driveway, then coiling it back up again.

Link works for me... Did you pay the Link Tarrif?

A bit pricey for what it does. But if you like it..
I much prefer an electric compressor and drive my car/bike to it. Also for my car I have a nice little $20 compressor that pugs into the cigarette lighter. No batteries to charge or maintain. Keep it in the trunk and I always have it with me.

Yes I did, it works for me.

Just do a Google search for it, I’m sure it will come up.

I just go by what batteries I have, so I don't have to buy the charger and battery. So I have the Makita one. One battery is plenty as long as you listen to it slowing down. I have a good, small battery-powered pump to go with me, and it is only 7 seconds slower than the Makita. My only complaint with the Makita is that you have ot hold the trigger the whole time.

The Milwaukee is very convenient because you set the pressure that you want, start it and walk away. It shuts off when it reaches the psi that you chose. This is especially convenient for car tires that will take a couple minutes to air up.

I use DeWalt tools and already have batteries & chargers. I therefore chose the DeWalt "tool only" version:

Same features as the Milwaukee plus it has a low pressure high volume feature for inflating air mattresses, vinyl yard decorations, etc.

I carry it in my vehicle when on bike trips. Very handy for doing tire work.

We have a pair of those. Runs on wall power, car outlet and their battery platform. We use those for blowing out the water in the Holliday home when there is a chance on freezing. Also for the vehicles, inlflating pools and other toy stuff

Costs 80 euro

Also got a tank compressor for the workshop and a topeak mini ebooster pump for on the road.

Pricey, maybe, but it comes with two batteries and the charger. That kit alone is around $125, making the tool alone $75.

What I meant is.. it is pricey if you purchase the package suggested and that's all you use the batteries for. And honestly the $20 compressor that plugs into the car cigarette lighter is just easier to use and maintain. I've had it for 25 years and I find it a nice portable option. I have a small tank compressor in my workshop.
If you keep those batteries fully charged they won't last long cycle wise. If you don't they might not have the capacity to do what you want.
If they are part of a tool package that you use regularly, then that makes a lot more sense... at least to me.

ya, that was my disappointment with the Makita. It would be an easy fix, but I don't do car tires, so I don't need it. At the time, I did not have any Milwaukee batteries, and I don't think they had a pump.

Agreed. I limit myself to two indoor (Ridgid 18V and Milwaukee M12) and two outdoor (Skil and Ego) lines of power tools. Otherwise, the battery cost eats any savings. If what I'm looking for doesn't fit into any of them, I don't buy it.
