    Hey all. Picked up a Milwaukee M12 tire inflator. Works great for off-road tire inflation. The charger can run off the bed plug or they sell a DC kit as well. Love this thing, thought I would share. EE6C8119-489B-4299-B563-8D52853281EE.jpgA0143B60-F85A-46CD-8831-A7648301BE1C.jpg

    I have one too.
    You do know about the 10 minute duty cycle and 10 minute cooling period?
    It can inflate a 265 75 16 from 0 to 35 psi in about 8 minutes.
    Point being, it can take a while to inflate from off road pressures.

    I agree it will take some time. For me, I don't air down often so the small form factor, reliability and portability outway the delay in getting back on the trail. If you have 35's or bigger, or air down often this would not work well for you, unless you purchased four of them:)

    I want to get one of the M18 impact wrenches. Pretty spendy but man they pack a punch. A M18 version of this little number would be cool also.

    What's the duty cycle like?

    It's cool but only being M12 and so small I have a feeling it wouldn't be able to air up a 33 easy or fast. I feel like it's more for inflating smaller tires or only one tire like if you got a flat.

    I dunno I'm happy with my viair. I don't want to need to carry batteries and be thinking of they're charged etc . Rather just have my 12v that I hook to the battery.

    I have the M18 mid torque one (760lbs I think it is) thing is a beast.

    We have the high torque one at work and holy shit. 1100ft lbs. Thing is a monster
