DEWALT20V MAX Tire Inflator, Compact and Portable, Automatic Shut Off, LED Light, Bare Tool Only (DCC020IB)

I've gotten some of those portable cordless tire pumps, but they either run out of battery too soon or take too long to inflate my car tires. A lot of them are off brands that while they have a detachable battery it's hard to find or not worth getting an off-brand spare. While as a Vine reviewer I have tested a few of those, and they are OK. I wanted something more robust with easy to replace readily available batteries. I knew Dewalt was a popular brand that makes many cordless tools that I use. I noticed this didn't come with a battery, but I have plenty that fit the bill, so I didn't have to worry about having ready power. Additionally, it's very powerful so standing outside on cold days inflating the tires is going to cost me less effort.This is a very simple device to use, not a bunch of selects like some chargers have with various pressure metrics. This uses PSI, plus there is no selection for a lot of different vehicles or tire applications, just a choice between inflation a blower. The two sides of the device have wrap arounds for their use. On the left facing front is a rubber high pressure cord with a fitting for tires. On the right side in a larger diameter flex hose for just blowing air. The display allows you to select tire or air which has a simple for a gust of wind. When blowing up a tire, a simple dial allows you to set the frequency, and the pump stops when it's reached. Inside one of the side panels is a cigar lighter cord and plug in to use for connection to your car battery as a backup via the lighter port. So, you can use if the plug in battery is dead, or you don't have one yet as it is not included. Dewalt 20V batteries are available in may sizes, and I like that I can put a bigger long lasting one to refill my tires without recharging in-between. Unit is not as light as the smaller ones but much more powerful and has a convenient carry handle. I when connected to a tire it will inflate it faster than most of the portables, and you can just sit it down as the connection hose is long enough to reach. Recommended.

As a newspaper carrier, I'm often driving along the very edge of rural roads and turning around in quite a few dead-end roads. An unfortunate consequence of this is that I often pick up nails and screws in my tires.The You-Know-What Disease reared its ugly head, and my local Walmarts closed their Tire and Lube Express sections to put the two or three techs they had onto deep-cleaning duties, rendering my Road Hazard coverage useless for over a year. Other tire shops around me were requiring appointments, with two or three week delays before I could get in. I was left with no other choice but to visit the local gas station air pump... But some horrible people keep stealing the air chuck off the line, and in winter time the lack of an air/water separator meant the pump would often be frozen.Being that I needed air twice a day, a generic cigarette-lighter tire inflator was NOT an option. They aren't built to handle heavy use, and I don't like drawing so much amperage from puny cigarette lighter wiring to begin with.I already owned a DeWalt 20V tool package, and had added a nice impact gun to the collection, and I'm quite pleased with the quality and durability of those units. Accidentally stumbled across this DeWalt inflator while searching Amazon for options, and I jumped at the opportunity. Sure, the purchase price is a bit steep, but I was willing to give it a shot considering how pleased I was with my other DeWalt items.I do NOT regret my decision at all! The DeWalt inflator is absolutely worthy of wearing the DeWalt name. I've certainly put this compressor through its paces, fat SUV tires, skinny car tires, wheelbarrow tires, riding lawnmower tires, and it handles everything I throw at it with no problems.The air chuck threads onto the valve stem, instead of the lever or clip-on versions found on cheaper units. Maximum pressure can be set in 0.5 psi increments, and the onboard gauge is +/- 0.5 psi from my beloved (and expensive) Brookstone analog gauge. The built-in LED flashlight is a handy feature, helping you find the valve stem in the dark, or to see your lug nuts and check your jack's position in the event a tire change is necessary. It's not bright enough to go hiking with, but it IS usable. The unit has a bit of heft to it, but that weight seems to translate to quality because this little guy simply works whenever I need it, with no hassle and no indication that it's ready to give up yet!When inflating low-pressure tires, like lawnmower tires or wheelbarrow tires, the air compressor inflates at a slower rate. That's a nice little detail that most manufacturers wouldn't even think of. Higher pressures have a slight "soft-start" which is also a nice little detail.The compressor is compact enough to fit in smaller nooks and crannies of a car's trunk or SUV's cargo area. I can tuck it under the wheel well of either my car or my Jeep to keep it out of the elements while it works, and that's quite convenient.Perhaps the only negative I can think of is the lack of a cover to keep the "pool/beach toy inflator" accessories from falling off. It's such a tiny ding against an otherwise-excellent product that I can't even justify lowering the rating for that.

Received this few days ago and battery was missing from the package, so the cigarrette lighter cord came in handy. Wife had a flat tire today and I'm glad we had this in the car. Perfect for emergency situation like today, we almost got stranded without this (her spare tire was flat!).Compared to the cheaper one I have, this is noticibly louder and bigger but I feel like this is a tad bit quicker to fill up a tire. Almost same weight as my cheaper one, though. This one has pretty good power and good airflow, I think I am liking the screw-on chuck keeping it secured to the valvestem.After fixing my wife's flat tire I intentonally deflated the other tires below 20psi and filled all of them back up to factory recommendation to check on accuracy, it was right on the dot! Pretty accurate.Also, built-in light for your safety!Overall, I give it 5 star! Very good quality hose, too! A lot better than the other brand I own.

Lightweight, accurate, airs up most tires and sporting equipment very quickly. Easy to use, easy to store, small, powerful and not very loud, fits almost anywhere, and decent range of accessories for most common needs

No issues with it & I've used it several times past few months. Fills up the tire about a pound every 10 seconds so works really fast & is easy to get it out.Read some stuff on here that made me skeptical but would repurchase hands down. Would turn it on early to verify it turns on, but have not had an issue like a couple of these people on here were saying. Could be user error but who knows. Super useful & easy to use. I strapped it to my back seat so it's not moving around.
