Looks like a Milwaukee model...but given their proclivity to over-price certain tools that are...not particularly good...I might pass on it. Mind, this is coming from someone who owns quite a few power tools from them.

I mean, I believe it is a reasonably good tool, but it's also ~$100 for just the tool. My experience with cordless inflators is not great, in that floor pumps can easily out pace them.

I would spend extra on a cordless compressor long before that, I think. If you're dead set, troll the local Home Depots for Milwaukee stuff put on the clearance cap in the back of the store. I've seen them there more than once.
If you want to go a little cheaper, you could always just get one of these and fill occasionally with your home compressor, or a bike pump:
Is there a DeWalt version of that Milwaukee compressor that would accept DeWalt batteries?

Was thinking of starting a compressor thread. I'd rather just have a good one that's your standard 12 volt cigarette lighter plug in? Any recommendation for one of those that actually works?

It's in the description, but sgltrak got it. :)
I got an el cheapo 12V from Wally World for car emergencies, but not sure how well tankless ones do for tubeless since they don't seem to be able to push much volume quickly. I've always just used a floor pump (with a 1L soda bottle DIY hack/tank if the tire wants to be a PITA that day). I got a Dewalt pancake for ~$100 and have rarely taken it out.
Ryobi (not that I'm recommending the brand or anything) makes a similar battery powered pump that pretty regularly shows up for $20 without the battery.

yes dewalt make an inflator that uses the 20v batteries. it is awesome. and will read down in the low single digits so if you are a fa bike rider it is nice to be able to inflate to 6.5 or 5.5 psi

Thanks for the feedback, y'all.
I've got a much larger household current Bostitch pancake compressor that works just fine, I was just curious about that little one in HP's vid. It looks handy.

I've been looking for something like this for awhile, would be great to have one in the car for quick fill ups on my bikes. I just would want to try to get a presta setup...
I have that Milwaukee pump and I think it's amazing + super convenient. I use it all the time to air up my car and motorcycle tires. Highly recommended, especially if you already have m12 tools/batteries laying around.

I fully agree, it is super handy for cars...

I never use it for my bike, tho. I have a monster California Air Tools compressor that I use with a prestaflator for bike tires (assuming I just don't use the floor pump)
I have 2 of these. I keep one under the front seat of my truck and the other at home for the bike.

That looks a lot like my Makita cordless drill except it's a different color.
Does it utilize the same battery as Makita? I've got several Makita batteries.

I am not sure. I do not have any Makita tools to compare with.

Have you used this much? That would be perfect for what I want to use it for providing it works well. Possible to take take a larger truck tire up to 80 PSI in under a lifetime?

I also have one of these Milwaukee pumps, and I actually forgot I had it until reading this thread… I use my floor pump far more.

I use it a bunch. I use it on my 32" Duratracs but only up to 41 psi so I cannot really comment on 80psi. It can be set up to 100psi. It has been a great item to have. You do not have to hold the trigger down during filling so you can start it and walk away as it will shut off when it reaches the set point.
