Anybody have one? I've just discovered they are a thing.
cordless inflators

I have this one as it was on sale for $17 at one point. Actually works quite well. Not one of the ones that take a setpoint (they have that version too), but from what I've seen those never seem to work too well for small volumes.
I mostly got this for filling up pool floats, snow tubes, etc and topping off the vehicle tires rather than firing up the 30gal compressor, not really for bike tires and smaller volume stuff.

I have a Ridgid one. It is a game changer.
Bike tires is probably one thing I'd use it for most often. Should note that my floor pump has seen better days and I'm considering getting a new one regardless.I have this one as it was on sale for $17 at one point. Actually works quite well.

That was one I was looking at due to price (and I already have the required Ryobi battery) but I saw a review that the chuck leaves a little to be desired and more importantly struggles with presta adapters. Is the hose replaceable? At that price I'd have no problem swapping out for a higher quality hose/chuck.
I was also looking at the dewalt one. More expensive for sure, but I already have dewalt batteries.
Use it for bike tires?
No, for cars & other stuff that needs lots of air. They are too loud for regular indoor use, and nothing can beat the convenience of a high volume floor pump, IMO.
The hose is quite janky, no doubt. I only ever use it on Schrader valves (as is) or with a needle to fill balls. Can't say I've ever tried to fill presta valves with it, but it would require an adapter which is annoying in itself. I only ever fill bike tires with my floor pump.
I'll see if the hose looks like it can be replaced today.
If it's replaceable I'd get something that could take a presta chuck
I have the Milwaukee version since I am already invested into the Eco system of batteries. I never use the floor pump anymore. Bikes, motos, jeep, raft, even the tires on the coach, seems to handle it all. I have even used it to blow out the lines to winterize the coach. Granted its no 5hp compressor but it does just fine for me.
Yeah, there's a few guys using them at the autoX races.I have this one as it was on sale for $17 at one point. Actually works quite well. Not one of the ones that take a setpoint (they have that version too), but from what I've seen those never seem to work too well for small volumes.

Yea, I figure if I'm gonna get one it only makes sense to get one I already have batteries for
Last winter I was on a wheeling trip with some buddies and one had the ryobi and another had the dewalt. The milwakee outperformed both of them on a 38" tire from 5psi to 28psi by a rather large margin. By the time they both had one filled, I was on my third tire. We didnt need to use them but we wanted to test them out against each other.
good information, but i wouldn't be using it for anything that large.
Confirmed to not be a replaceable hose...crimped right onto the plastic housing of the inner assembly. Was hoping for a threaded connection
I didn't think I would be using it for that as well but was pleasantly surprised I can.
Bikes? You don't ride MTBs anymore.
trueBikes? You don't ride MTBs anymore.
it's all gravel bikes and reminiscing about his speeds on downhill RAAM segments these days
I have 3 bicycles for your info, thank you very muchBikes? You don't ride MTBs anymore.

I was wrong about irider, got him mixed up…
I Have way too many bikes and I still ride. 56 years old and still trucking
I have the Dewalt, big thumbs up from me. I love that it can use 20V batteries, 12V cigarette lighter, or 120V plug. The auto shutoff can be a bit finicky for bike tires due to the lower volume, but it works great for car tires.
Have the Makita 18v, use it enough that I may snag another one so I don't have to remember to throw it back in the truck every time. Seriously one of the best tool buys in my recent memory
