Has anyone found a deal on this inflator? HD is OOS but I also see it at Northern Tools for the same price. It probably is too new to have any kind of deal but thought I'd ask.

If you own one, please chime in whether it's worth upgrading from their M12 model. Looks to be really good based on YT reviews but if you've used one, what are your likes and dislikes. Did you get a deal on it, etc?

Sorry, probably this needs to be in the discussion forum instead of deals but couldn't find it. Mod, please move it to where it needs to be. TY

I have this one, but have only used it to inflate two lawnmower tires and a kids pool. I bought it more for truck tires, but haven't needed it yet. That said, it aired the lawnmower tires up really quickly. I've never used the M12, so I can't really compare the two, but so far, I'm really happy with this one.

I have the M18 version and it's a beast. The auto pressure check is amazing and accurate. I also added a Milton tank valve and JACO quick connect/disconnect to the valve stem. This made it lighting fast to air up multiple car tires in one go, without having to deal with screwing in the brass fitting that comes with the M18 model.

Did you get it on any kind of a deal/hack?

Did you paid $169 or was it in a deal package/hack?

I paid full price. If you can wait 1/2 year Milwaukee normally gives a small discount on new release items

All the new good tools rarely go on sale at first.

I bought the bigger compressor last week for 225. It's a beast.

You can save about $10 right now from Acmetools.com with 10% code TOPTOOLS. They do charge shipping under $199. https://www.acmetools.com/milwauk...16282.html

I tried to order from Zoro as my bank debit card has 15% cash back from them, but they are unable to fulfil the order before the deal expires.

How did it work for the pool? I was thinking this was only a high pressure/low volume inflator, unlike the Dewalt and craftsman ones. I'm all Milwaukee right now, except for the dewalt inflator with adapter for m18 batteries.

It was a fairly small pool, my kids are 4 and 2. But it worked fine using one of the adapters that came in it.

Are these available on Amazon? Can you provide the links for both the Milton and Jaco? Thank you.

Search the following on Amazon
Milton (S-684-4) 1/4" MNPT Male Tank Valve

JACO Lightning S2-Series Tire Air Chuck - 1/4" F-NPT | Open Flow (2 Pack)

And you will need plumber's tape to make it air tight.

Ask if you have any questions
