Milwaukee tire inflater

On second thought...

That article is BS. They say under a minute... Milwaukee's blurb says just over 3 minutes. That lines up with the 1.4CFM at 0 psi rating too.

Nevermind, carry on. Nothing to see here

The real question is how many 33" tires can it take from 10 to 25 psi on a charge. That's the test I'd like to see.
 
Why replace a 90 amp alternator and massive lead acid battery with a dinky M18 battery, overall makes no sense at all even if it did work as fast as a regular compressor. The Jeep wont break a sweat putting out well over 100 amps all day long and those 18650 cells top out at maybe 60 amps for premium cells for about two minutes and you are done.

Edit: interesting to read about and just my observation, not suggesting that knowing about these batteries is common sense or anything

I think I found my new on board air solution. I already carry an m18 impact wrench, so I have the batteries.

Haven't found many specs at lower pressure, but taking a 33 in tire from 60 to 80 psi in under a minute seems decent?

So I just came across this inflator. Seems nice to set it and forget it. Save on back pain while bending over I have to do with my portable ARB.

And how fast it can do that...

I have the 20v Dewalt version (probably very comparable), and while it is in fact very convenient for topping off tires, my single test of airing up my 33s from 9 psi to 26 psi convinced me it would be painfully slow for that purpose on a regular basis. A fair bit slower than my Masterflow MV50
