    Anyone else use one in their garage? This thing kicks butt.

    I have a 80 gallon compressor in my garage but it’s a pain to unravel the air hose and put it all back away when I’m done, just to top off a couple tires.

    The Milwaukee M12 inflator is battery powered and less than 200 bucks with battery’s and charger.

    I keep my 430 on the top of a 4 post lift. I just walked around my car, holding the inflator, and brought all the tires from 26psi to 32. It took less than 30 seconds per tire. Way easier than struggling with a hose and the noise of a compressor!!

    I have one
    Love it however the screw on attachment is stupid

    Ive ordered something off ebay to convert to quick release

    I tend to overfill and then set pressure using proper race type digital guage as the milwaukee seems to vary pressure by 1 psi or so

    Yep, I have one and love it. Bought mine a year ago.

    It's stored in the trunk of my 2016 Cali T for emergency use.

    Used it already 2 months ago. I was driving one day and I got a low tire pressure fault message. Pulled over and sure enough there a nail on right rear tire leaking air.

    Got the Milwaukee tire inflator out of the trunk, pumped it up to 42 psi, quickly drove to the nearest tire shop, they fixed my tire while I sip coffee.

    A life saver since we don't have spare tire.

    Highly recommended.

    Not to hijack thread, but what “proper race type digital gauge” do you use? I am in the market to pick up a very accurate gauge.

    Longacre gauges are the best in the business.

    Racing analog gauge: https://www.ogracing.com/collections/garage-tire-gauges-tire-pressure-gauges/products/longacre-pro-precision-tire-gauge-0-60-psi

    Racing digital gauge: https://www.ogracing.com/collections/garage-tire-gauges-tire-pressure-gauges/products/longacre-pro-digital-tire-gauge-0-60-psi

    And if money is no object, this is the best in the business used by pro racing teams (I have it, it is amazing): https://www.ogracing.com/collections/garage-tire-gauges-tire-pressure-gauges/products/longacre-ultimate-digital-tire-gauge-1

    I have the dirt cheap Air Hawk Pro and it's magic.
