Pretty awesome device. I use it and it is much better than any cig lighter versions.

Not to forget the convenience of being cordless. Also, I have not seen any smoke or smelt anything while doing 4 tires of a Grand Caravan.

solid air pump. battery lasts awhile before charging up again. I want to get one for my other car but I think I'm waiting for some instacart coupons to get a deal on this and the USBC batteries.

Agreed. snagged one of these from the previous $29.00 sale.

I have this one and the Milwaukee M12. They are just as solid, but the Skil is a tiny bit slower. If it wasn't because someone gave me the Milwaukee, I would've been perfectly happy with the Skil.

Anyone know how fast is this compared to one of those smaller handheld air compressors like this one?

I bought this when it was on sale about a month or so ago. I like it! It comes with a locking attachment for easy use.

I also own the Milwaukee 12v inflator. I had to buy a locking attachment to add on. This skil version is a little bit louder but that doesn't bother me. Definitely worth $30 if you're invested in the skil 12v line

Wait! this does not come with a battery ? What kind battery does it take? Do I need to be on Skill battery platform ?

Been this price for at least a couple of months. Amazon had it for the same price which I think is good until the end of July (edit: looks sold out on Amazon now). 2Ah batteries can be had for $30 and charge via USB-C, which is amazing. Don't have to have a proprietary charger They also can be used as a power bank. Charges my phone at super fast speeds.

Lowe's also has a bunch of "free" items if you buy other tools, including a $79 pack of two batteries plus a free tool. Or you can get an impact driver w/battery, drill w/battery, etc as the starter tool ($69). All brushless and pretty decent stuff for the most part. Just look on this page for the "buy one get one" deals.

https://www.lowes.com/search?sear...0core%2012

If you buy in store, sometimes Lowe's "free tool" deals are hackable like HD now, so don't know if that would work. If you buy online they lump them together, but the receipts in store have two prices.

These seem really good budget 12v tools if you don't want to spend Milwaukee money. I've got a bunch of M12 stuff, but needed another inflator, and didn't really want to spend another $100 on another Milwaukee. I picked up the inflator and lucked up on a $50 4Ah battery at Amazon (new red one that uses USB C). Those seem in short supply now, inflators use up batteries pretty fast. 2Ah is probably fine for a tire or two though. Also bought an impact driver with battery and got the little recip saw for small tasks when I don't need to get a big one out.

I have the Dewalt and Milwaukee M18 inflator along with this Skil. My favorite is the Dewalt, you can use a battery, or be powered by a cigarette lighter or buy the optional ac plug. I use the Milwaukee for our motorhome as it is the fastest and most powerful. The Skil I love for our bikes as it is the only one that has the L type quick connect, so it is easier to use with bike tires.

Overall, the Dewalt is my favorite, I would sell the Milwaukee if we didn't have a motorhome. The Skil is a crazy good value if you already have the batteries and works great
