How loud is this one? Can anyone compare it, quality-wise to the Ryobi models?

So no power without the separately sold battery and charger? Or does it plug into the wall?
Yep just like every other inflator in this category that are known for their battery ecosystems...dewalt, milwaukee, ryobi...etc.

Quality wise, SKIL seems to be better than the Ryobi. As always, I hope these brands keep their battery platform going. I was able to remodel my place with the SKIL 12V set and the tire inflator is used weekly and is going strong almost 4 years later. It gets a LOT of use. My only quality comparison was a Ryobe multi-tool that failed after an hour or so and the SKIL did the entire job in multiple rooms. It surely was an outlier but I didn't have time to mess around with it.

Any way to hack these so they work with another platforms battery ?

$30 for a skil battery and charger might as well get that. The skill batteries are great too for charging phones, fast charging through the usb-c port.

Adding noise info. I went out and tested the noise levels while airing up some tires. Ambient noise outside was 51db, running at ear height (I am 5' 10") was 80-82db. I was using an uncalibrated free app, but I hope it helps.

It looks like neither Amazon nor Lowe's include the battery.

You can buy a battery from Lowe's for an additional $29: https://www.lowes.com/pd/SKIL-PWR...5015215929

Skil tools is definitely coming from a Apple Computer design aesthetic. This new launch off tool/deisns is actually quite impressive. Lowe's had a display yesterday of the new misting fan and compact vacuum. The vacuum would be handy to keep in a vehicle or around an office desk. Both were on sale as well.

Truly impressive form factor that's for sure.

I have a Skil lawnmower with a large 5 AH Powercore battery -Would the battery work with this inflator or is the ah from that battery too high?

Voltage (40V) is too high.

Bought this today. Had 5 2ah batteries from the black Friday holiday sales. Bought primarily as a bike pump. All my bikes have Presta valves, so the adapter is a bit aggravating but once in place the pump works great.
Highly recommend

Buying an adapter to match your battery will probably cost another $18-24 so might as well buy a 12V inflator instead.

Amazon has the 12v skill inflator for $29 for a limited time. upon checking the C's I found that this is the lowest price ever. I've been slowly buying the skil 12v line as a backup. brushless and cheap!

No, the DeWALT DCC020IB inflator includes the 12V auto/lighter plug in a special compartment. They don't include an AC adapter but it's just a 10A 13.8v DC power supply. You could connect the included lighter plug to any 12v~13.8b 10A+ PSU for the same result. If the Skil has a 12v plug after all it should be just as flexible.

Your example was a larger 20v battery from Dewalt and still cant plug into a wall for power, it runs off the 12v cigarette lighter plug just like every other plug in? Even Skil IF5940-00 20v larger cousin only run on the battery.

You brought up DeWALT's and others with their associated battery ecosystems as an example of "every other inflator in this category" requiring the battery. DeWALT 12V Max line does not have an inflator, so you could only be talking about their 20V Max inflator… which does not require the battery. It includes the cigarette lighter jack plug in a small compartment and they also sell an AC adapter for it. That AC adapter plugs into the same place as the 12V lighter cord so I'd just supply my own generic 10A 12~13.8V AC adapter if I needed that.

My only point was that this was not entirely correct about them all forcing a battery line on you and I wonder if we are even sure the Skil doesn't have a 12V plug. I haven't looked into it but if we were wrong in our assumptions about the DeWALT we could be wrong about the Skil in the same way.
