I put the 18v ryobi compressor, 18v inflator, Milwaukee m12 inflator, and DeWalt 20v together to see how they perform!

When I’m tired of listening to music or podcasts while driving, I play this 15 minute video of air compressors to pretend I’m in a loud cockpit of some type of aircraft. It adds at least an additional 20mph perception to how fast I’m actually going. Thanks for the video.
I actually laughed out loud at this.
🤘🤣🤘
Hahaha. Awesome.
now thats funny thanks for the chuckle
🤣😂🤣
3 years later and this video is the best on the the YT comparing these inflators.. thank you for your diligence
I thought you meant it took 3 years to pump my tyres up😂
@@S-O-T lol .naw ended up with the Ryobi and very satisfied
This video was a nail biting tension feast. I had no idea who was going to win. Happy with the result.
I own Milwaukee m12 tools, and dewalt 20v. I love them both. I was all set to buy the m12 inflator due to its compact size. Then I realized that the dewalt was able to use THREE different power options. Battery, cigarette lighter, and standard wall outlet. That changed my choice, if your battery dies, you have other options. Thats a win. Brought home the dewalt today
Dewalt doesn’t sell the inflator in a kit with a battery and charger like Milwaukee does, so if you don’t already have Dewalt batteries/charger, that puts the total price around $230 (compared to $160 for Milwaukee). And if you want the Dewalt to work on 110v A/C power, you have to buy that adapter separately as well.
I have the DeWalt also, but it does not inflate from the car 12v plug. Always get a LoP warning. Works best with the wall power outlet, no issues with power or inflation when plugged in. So, this the DeWalt is great for home use, but worthless on the road. In the above video, I assume the 20v battery was fully charged, and he only got 2 inflations. Pretty impotent.
They're all gonna be ungodly slow
@@rayF4rio He used a 1.5 AH battery...the SMALLEST DeWalt makes. Also, your car lighter/12V outlet was most likely the issue with the 12v function on the inflator.
This was my thought as well. That option leaves the others in the dust.
Exactly the comparison I was looking for, thanks! 👍
This was a great demonstration! I don't know much about inflators/compressors but this made it very clear which one I am gonna get for going off roading in my Black Series!!
Milwaukee in second with a 12V tool. All of the others were 18V or higher. I’m impressed.
Yeah they can do a lot with 12v.
Not only that it was the smaller battery.
Pair the milwaukee with a 4 or 6ah battery and it is a great setup to keep just in case
@@apocalypse2941 should have had that xc battery on the tailgate on it.
not only that but the Ryobi compressor was precharged with air
From experience 9320 miles trip. The Ryobi outtakes them all in battery life, that’s the most important thing. No problem doing 2 full-size 225/55/17 or 235/75/15 tires and having power left for emergency, like pumping up the kids beach toys at the beach 🏖. One or two 5.0 batteries from Ryobi with you and you’re good. If you’re still on the sensitive side you can buy the cigarette lighter charger or a Converter 110/220 and charge up Ryobi batteries. Great video stay safe
The milwaukee is pretty sweet. I have it in my Ram 2500 with 80 psi. Pumps tires without any issues. I mainly use it to fill my airbags.
Nice little comparison video. Would be interesting to see some of the other battery-powered air compressors on the market try to do the same challenge. I have a handheld Ryobi 18v inflator that does a pretty decent job for pumping most tires up. The only drawback is you have to press a trigger and read a gauge at the same time.
I have one of those and gifted my father-in-law one, got to Walmart and find Velcro tape, I wrap that around the trigger so I don’t have to hold it
Are you talking about the one with the round digital gauge? If so, you turn the wheel on that gauge to your desired psi and press the trigger. It will shutoff automatically when it reaches the desired psi.
I have a mixture of Milwaukee and Dewalt tools depending on the application. I went for the Dewalt compressor with the optional 115v adaptor. This gives me 3 sources of power. When I’m home I use the adaptor and when I’m away I can use battery or plug into the cigarette lighter.
Yep!
Nice comparison! I bought that same little Milwaukee M12 recently and was curious if it could handle airing up the 33" tires on my Jeep.
I've seen tests of the Milwaukee M18 Fuel with an 8Ah battery that were amazing. Very fast, delivered high pressure for truck tyres & did about 25 tyres in one battery. However, it is expensive & that is a HUGE battery. Of these ones I'd get the Ryobi Compressor (space is not really an issue for my vehicle) & I have about 12 Ryobi 18+ tools, so lots of 4 & 5Ah batteries.
The Kobalt is a great one that I have had for a couple months the 24v line
Love my DEWALT
Excellent review been looking for this thanks
1. Ryobi big 4:50 2. Milwaukee 7:20 3. DeWalt 8:00 4. Ryobi 9:30
Good comparison video. I think i'm going with the Dewalt since I already have a couple of the 20v batteries. Thanks for posting!
The Milwaukee 2848-20 is abetter choice if you are already invested in M18 batteries and can take the extra volume (2x the little Milwaukee).
I was wondering about this and thinking on these four. You got my sub 👍🏼
I own Milwaukee and use the snot out of it and ruff service life. That unit is the one I suggest. I mean it gets slammed around in my service truck and works every time I need it. And owned a long while now.
I enjoyed the comparisons. I didn’t read all the comments so this was probably mentioned, but many were commenting on the backup plan of needing to plug into the vehicle. It’s simple for me. I take my cordless compressor and all of my charged up batteries. But, I also bring their battery charger. Plug that into my trucks 110V outlet and keep my batteries charged. Pick the tool which provides the most versatility and practically for your individual needs. My batteries also run my 1/2 impact wrench, sawzall, and several other tools for the trail.
Ryobi make a charger that plugs in to you 12 outlet
@@dennisgermain189 The Dewalt includes a 12V plug. No need for extra batteries if keeping it in the vehicle is a priority.
Nice video, I have the Milwaukee inflator and the new Milwaukee compressor. Both are great!
The Milwaukee 2 gallon compressor can't even fill a tire without it stopping to refill, and only 1 dial is pretty disappointing. Honestly for $120 which $200-300 less, my 6 gallon Craftsman with two dials and outlets weighs the same, a lot louder, but does not disappoint for the money. I guess running it on an 18v battery can be nice in an emergency, but have not had that emergency myself yet. And I have pretty much all Milwaukee tools, but some of there stuff isn't so great, but they usually fix issues with future gen issues. I would like to see a new version of the compressor, to be honest.
@@anthonyfortunato9451 "Portability " is the key word you are missing with the Milwaukee or even DeWalt portable compressors. They aren't designed to compete with a 6 gallon compressor. It's not for everyone but with my small farm it has come in handy. I can fix tires on the spot and seat beads without having to take the tire back to a shop.
I have the Milwaukee as well and it is fantastic even better and quicker with a 6 amp battery
I have the Milwaukee it's fast and compact and will last a long time with the 6.0 battery.great for roadtrips.
Is the main unit compatible with different grade batteries? I don't see a 6.0 unit for sale.
@@MrSupernova111 Milwaukee sells a 1.5 , 2.0, 3.0 ,4.0 and 6.0 ah battery's for the m12 system
@@aaronrepper7649 . Great! Thanks!
Can confirm. Have used it to pump up 4 tyres from 18-42psi
Good review. I still prefer the ones you hook to the car battery. I think they are way better. I even inflated a small wheel loader tire using it. The air compressor I used was a Canadian tire brand...
I like the Dewalt option it's 100% the best the only reason why I got the m12 is because I was in a pinch and my tire was flat, luckily I wear a heated hoodie with a 6ah battery. Unfortunately my tire was bursted but overall it's a good choice for those who already own milwaukee tools and it's compact.
GREAT REVIEW... I am in the market for one of these!
By far the ryob compressor. So much more practical all around. Bradnails, staple guns, sprayers...not to mention the fact that it filled the tire faster than you can get in and out of the car.
I got one 👍🏼love it on my paddle boards and just to keep blowing mess out back corners of my van 👍🏼
If you don't need cordless, check out the superflow mv50 12volt or the large $70 harbor freight 12v compressor, both are fairly quick and inexpensive
Thanks for making this video it helped me make my decision. I am going to stick with what I have the batteries for.
The noise of all four of them going at once, in glorious stereo. :)
I compared myself taking off my flat and putting on my spare to your video. Got them switched and finished eating a burger and fries before the first tire was pumped up.
Make a note that the ryobi with the inflator wears out. Ive gone through 2 of them. If i had to guess, i probably used them about 50 time from 15 psi to 44psi before the inside gives out (bearings i think wear out and starts making a really bad loud noise).
Sorely tempted by the Ryobi compressor, as I could use it for cleaning sawdust and gunk off stuff in workshop. But I’ve already got DeWalt tools & batteries, so for me in Brexitania, the DeWalt works out cheaper by £70 or $82 for an occasional use tool. Great comparison review - thank you.
They do an adaptor that lets dewalt or milwaukee battery fit ryobi tools.
The Ryobi compressor will run for half an hour on a fully charged 4Ah battery. It could also have been a little quicker if you had set the regulator for 31psi and just used the air chuck's gauge to monitor the pressure.
Watch my video on doing just that.
The larger ryobi was able to inflate the your setting in half the time as the others. Time matters thanks for selling me on the larger ryobi. Both ryobi air compressor batteries lasted longer.
And they are cheaper!
If you noticed he also stoped using the compressor ryobi several times and it still beat the others, and had more battery left to do the second test. My hand air gadge for my compressor has a lock.
Remember ryobi 18v batteries also fit about a hundred different tools other brands change batteries every year or so.
Remember he startet with a full tank on it. Add 2 more minutes for the tank to fill up first time too. And it take 3x the space compared milwaukee. Non of these are made for using tools with them. So they are only good at filling footballs, tires and airmadrasses.
@@blackkos an a8r
All this damn money you spent to just help us compare is truly appreciated cause you could’ve just bought an ARB onboard compact and called it a day
True true, thinking of modding the Milwaukee compressor to be vehicle mounted
the milwakee one is the best because its small. I already felt shaded out buying a portable compressor when I have a air compressor in the garage and I think the #1 engineering thing I looked at was size. It stows nicely in the toolbox next to a band saw, die grinder and a sawzall.
Great video. Like others say, very impressive the smaller Milwaukee kept up w/ a 12V system. No surprise the air-tank Ryobi was fastest, but I thought Dewalt would've been faster considering 20V and size. For me, I'm going w/ the Milwaukee: smallest, have 2x other M12 tools in my truck (impact/ratchet) w/4maH and 6maH, so battery modularity is easiest, and I have confidence in Milwaukee products in my experience. I've had issues w/ Ryobi batteries in the winter not working consistently (18V w/ Brad nailer). To each their own. Thanks for the upload.
Dewalts 20v is nominal 18v. No dewalt ever actually performs at 20v
A lot of people wanted the DeWalt to do better too! I think it's downgraded so that it can use the cigarette lighter plug without blowing something
I got the milwaukee and use 4.0s works good for keeping truck and trailer tires full I'm looking for a deal on 6.0s
I'm in bed watching a video of noisy compressors, and some how is still not waking me up. It's pouring me back to sleep
Your welcome
get a dual stage comp high volume low psi and high pressure for hi psi I Personally use a Smittybilt one clamps to my batter lugs and 37" 12.5" from 12 psi ro 37 in under 5 mins. used it for last 5 years weekend wheeling its solid !!!
My RIDGID R87044 went from 0 to 35 PSI on my truck tire, 33/12.50/16.5. It took about 8.5 minutes. Battery went down one light bar. I tried to take a screenshot of the timer, but when I sent it to my son, I didn't notice the time didn't show up in the screenshot until after I deleted it already. So that may be a good contender for this also.
Excellent work
Thanks for a great test
I will go with the Ryobi air compressor, yes multi functions for me
Just bought one today - and the inflator yesterday.
Thanks for doing this video. Its a real world test head to head.
I use the milwaukee with a 6.0 battery . Great for atvs and motorcycles. Struggles on big stuff, but very convenient!
Btw 6.0 ah battery makes huge difference.
Thanks !!! Awesome video
If you would shut down the noise we could hear what you are saying, how many minuets for the Milwaukee? You now answered my question I did buy the Milwaukee before viewing your channel other than being loud and trying to fit extra large thumb and four finger into the narrow slots to compress the battery release tabs I give it high marks and since I already have the 12-18V charger it makes good sense as for me Milwaukee tools and batteries seem to out last the others.
I have the Milwaukee, it works fine. I bought some cheap aftermarket batteries on Amazon just to air up my tires when I need to.
One guy did a review of the Rigid vs the Ryobi and it only took the Rigid 1:35 min or less than 2 min. I would love to see you do a comparison of it. Of course the Rigid was 94.8 decibel loud vs the other one was 90 decibel.
Good informative video straight to the point not a lot of joking and nonsense talking.
I would check the PSI with a hand held gauge to see if the PSI the same as the air compressor readings.
Nice comparison video
Nice comparison. You should have manually checked the air pressure once they hit 32 psi to see how accurate each one was as well.
It was done in a different video. Ryobi was way off and dewalt was the closest to accurate.
@@John-771 nice, I'll have to check it out
I have the dewalt. I checked a couple times with a manual gage just to make sure, and both were within 1PSI, plenty close enough for most applications.
I love my Milwaukee compressor, just wish it was 18v I use it for pressure testing gas service lines to 100 psi. It takes about 2 min for a 1/2” line at 100’ and about 4.5 min for a 1” at 100’.
Watch my video on the m18 compressor and inflator.
That Ryobi inflator has been replaced with a slimmer model, they probably both have the same pump though. It's by far the cheapest, right now it's $40 tool only, or $99 with two 4Ah batteries, a charger and a carry bag. You can set the pressure on the Ryobi compressor to whatever PSI you want and sit in your truck while the tire fills, you just need to swap out that trigger gun with a quick connect. If space is a concern, Ryobi makes a hand-held unit. It's on sale right now for $25. The Dewalt is the best quality unit, plus you can run it off of your lighter plug. Keeping batteries in the truck on hot days is really going to take a toll on them and you may even find that they won't work when you really need it to. Depending where you live, if it gets too cold out, it's possible that none of the batteries will work until you warn them up.
Yes I would like to try the newer version of the ryobi to see if its better. I'll have to try setting the pressure on the compressor to see if that works! Thanks for the comments!
@@apocalypse2941 I have both versions of the Ryobi. I've never tested them against one another, but I'd say they perform about the same. I use these inflators a lot, as in every week, for topping off all kinds of tires, they are super handy. The Ryobi inflators have a plastic piston, so if you own one, mind the instructions and obey the duty cycle.
Great review
I bought a cheap unit off eBay. 4wd compressor. Pumped up my 31 by 10.5 tyre to 30 psi in 2 minutes but up to 40 psi it took another 5 mins
I'm glad this was the quick version
Yeah I kinda ran over on time.
Good video helps me a lot
Hey brother, I have the Dewalt, and I got the 20 volt 5ah battery with charger and a carrying bag, and the battery lasts for months at a time even after using it multiple times, and it has an inflator for floats or what ever else you want or a deflater, and project farm did a long and distance comparison on Milwaukee and dewalt and the dewalt out performed and out lasted the Milwaukee, thats the reason I got my dewalt compressor but you need a 5ah battery
I have a few of the Milwaukee pumps and they pump noticeably better and faster with a 4 amp or a 6 amp hour battery in it than it does with the two amp power batteries I don't even waste my time putting the two amp hour batteries in them anymore.
Great video. I'm in the market for a portable compressor for offloading.
You can have a standard lock chuck for the ryobi compressor and just set the gauge for the desired psi and you won't have to hold the handle. The compressor would have also done better if you didn't let the pressure build up as this puts strain on the motor, lowers the rpm and the evacuation efficiency of each compression cycle.
True.
Watch my video on doing just that.
I own the Milwaukee and love it. Its small and powerful, and quick.
Thats what she said
@@bilbombe LOL!!! Tell her to keep the spare battery ready.
@@diamondjaguar 6amp will do 4 with ease
I have the M12 inflator and overall, it works great especially considering I bought it on sale BUT, I think the Dewalt version is better from what I've seen. Also, the Dewalt offers an alternative power source whereas the M12 doesn't. Love the tiny aize on the M12 though. You can't have everything, I guess depending on what batteries you already own will determine what you buy. I own about 9 M12 batteries at this point so Milwaukee all the way for me.
You can make an adapter for the 12v milwaukee to run off your cars 12v outlet. I made one for mine using an old 12v battery and a cable ordered off amazon
@@doubleas88 better to buy dewalt no fucking around and voiding warranty .
Good test and vid
Great video, this is just what I was looking for. I wonder if the Milwaukee would air up 4 tires on one charge? I would love to see a follow up review.
Get the 6.0 battery. might do it. But that is a lot of air needed.
When I inflated all 4 standard car tires from 0 to 35 with the Milwaukee and a 6.0Ah battery it took about five minutes per tire to finish and it needed a little bit more than a 6.0Ah battery (one bar decrease from the 2nd battery) for all 4 tires.. good that I bought 2x 6.0Ah batteries with it (even though not original batteries but cheaper 3rd-party ones called 'vinida'). I think 0 to _only 30_ on all 4 tires is achievable with just one fully-charged 6.0Ah battery. This little inflator is AMAZING!
Milwaukee is great! Small, easy to use and set up. Would recommend a 4.0 battery, but 2.0 works well. Easily pumps up my trailer tires to 90psi when they get a bit low.
Hi Carl Can it go upto 100 psi on 295 radius prime mover tyres ?
Thanks! Do more like this!
how can you include the ryobi air compressor in the test when you were not holding it continuous throughout the whole time that you were testing? sounds like the bias was already the milwaukee from the beginning
I think you should be more compatible with the batteries the dewalt only had 1.5 amp redo with a 4amp battery and let’s see if there’s a difference, love the video by the way
You should have stopped the test? Were the batteries fully charged and the same amp hours?
Good job, 🤛🏻. Thanks
Tractor supply sells a compact 2 gallon unit. $69.00. I put a 1500 watt inverter in my rig to run it. Having the inverter gives you plenty of options to run other things. Coffee maker, microwave etc. I hard wired it to my battery so I don't have to fool around with cables. Take a look. Have fun.
I have always preferred the dewalt tools, and those 1.3 and 1.5 AH batteries are always disappointing. I bet that compressor would have performed much better with a 4 ah battery
The new powerstack batteries make it even better and for long use I have a 6 ah battery
Great to know apocalypse
Can’t wait for number two
I found that if you put a 12v 6ah battery in the Milwaukee, it will fill up a large 19.5 truck tire from 0 to 110 with no problem.
Nice review, you started with the compressor already full which gave it a huge advantage. You don’t store compressors full typically and should empty them after every use. Also the dewalt would perform better on a higher output battery. Those are the old 1.5 batteries and they don’t hold up well for long.
Watch my follow up videos.
Good comparison
Personally I would have gone with the DeWalt ONLY because it was the only one that could be powered by battery OR car
I will go with the DeWalt over the others only reason I'm already on the DeWalt battery platform but I'm very impressed by all of them if I wasn't so much in the DeWalt battery platform already I would love to get anyone of these
I have the issue with milwaukee would love to buy Dewalt but I'm deep into the system and have spare batteries. So it's almost an inconvenience to carry a different kind od charger around for a tool or two😔
@@BaltazarSMZ I agree with you it's almost more of a pain to have more than one battery platform if you don't do construction for a living and need different types of tools and each brand is got a better tool everyone knows that but I'm still a die hard DeWalt man
Check out the new 20v Worx pump. You can run their 2.0, 4.0 or 6.0 amp battery. Its smaller i dont know how it would compare to those but they make some good tools.
Sweet video!!
I bought the Ryobi air compressor for $69. With a 9 ah battery it is a beast. 4 ah battery it doesn’t last too long. But for little trim jobs or stapling it’s awesome.
I have a cheap arse inflator I bought like back in 2000 from like Walmart or something for like $30. It has a long plug that goes in the cigarette lighter. It is like half the size of the DeWalt and has saved my butt a few times when I've gotten a flat.
Lol, soumds like the same thing I've got. I'm scared to rely on a battery inflator with no 12v cord backup
@@yootoobactnameyoo5221 These are great to have at home, as I have the cheapest Ryobi and I use it at home to air up my Wife's 2016 Buick that leaks air because they use stupid built on wheel covers. Also, good for bikes, wheel barrows, balls etc. around the house. Yet the cheap one goes in my car on road trips as it takes up no space and works, just loud and old. I have an air compressor nice one actually 30 Gallon. I am finding I'm not using it much though as at this point it is only useful for my air hammer and having compressed air to blow filters out carbs out etc.
I kind of like the idea of being able to plug into the car with the dewalt, just in case the battery runs low.
Yeah that is a great backup plan. As you saw the battery died and I could have plugged it up to finish easily. Thanks for the comment
Good video I just bought the dewalt but I wonder if a bigger battery like a 4 or 5ah would have made a difference
See my other video for your answer, spoiler alert; not really. Still a viable inflator for car tires and smaller.
Thanks for the vid, glad the Milwaukee won because that's the one I already have! It's definitely worth the investment so you can air up easily at home rather than finding a gas station with a working air station, and hopefully one that doesn't require quarters to operate (can cost up to $1 here in Cali!). It's a solid unit!
You should of used the same size battery batteries for all whether it’s a 2amp or 5amp. Also, if a person is already on a certain battery platform, it doesn’t make sense to buy a different manufacturer just to have something in the car. I happen to be on a dewalt platform, and I’m happy with the inflator, excellent for tire pressure maintenance.
You're right, and if I had the same size I would have used them. Keep in mind they are different voltages also so even with same amp hours they are not apples to apples. Thanks for your comment
I had that small Ryobi, Gave it to my sister, and got the Milwaukee...
The large Ryobi R18AC-0. 👍
Which on is the quietest?
I would have love to have seen the Cobalt assassin that this is the best comparison video in my opinion it leaves no room for error. I just started the channel so I haven't watch this video yet but I'm' hoping you got these things on a powered cord so you can just flip a switch.
I guess I should have watched a few minutes before I made my first comment about the power switch still a great video as far as which one pumps passes though it would have been nice to have had a time lapse
It looks as if the Ryobi air compressor started out with stored air in its tank, going by the pressure gauge? If so, this gives it a much greater advantage.
Yes, I did it that way because it can be stored full. Without the air chuck it seems to retain its pressure.
@@apocalypse2941 you shouldn't store a compressor with air in the tank the moisture leads to rust. You should dran the tank after every use.
Milwaukee is the winner 🏆
