Using the Milwaukee Tire Inflator

I enjoyed using this tool, there is very little learning curve to this tool. Once connected to the tire it tells you the pressure and you select your psi and hit the inflate button – easy peasy!

Improvement

The only area of improvement I can come up with is ther is not LED worklight, in case your inflating a tire at night. I’m sure Milwaukee will add this on the Gen 2 version.

Final Thoughts

The Milwaukee M18 18V Cordless Tire Inflator (model 2848-20) is one of the fastest tire inflators on the market, featuring advanced technologies like TrueFill™ Technology, auto shut-off, and PSI memory presets.

At $135 online, this inflator might not seem like the most affordable option, especially for those not already on the Milwaukee tool battery platform. However, it runs off the same M18 batteries used across Milwaukee’s cordless tools, making it a convenient choice for those who already own Milwaukee tools.

Whether you’re inflating tires for passenger vehicles, light trucks, or medium-duty vehicles, the M18 Tire Inflator delivers outstanding performance and durability. Its portability, included accessories, and 5-year warranty make it an excellent investment for both professional users and DIY enthusiasts who need precision, speed, and reliability when it comes to tire inflation.
