battery powered cordless tire/stuff inflator
Someone here on the board talked about having a cordless inflator that they said is quick and convenient for your common inflating needs. That struck a cord in me. I want one. I think it'll be convenient for topping up the tires on the mower, or the occasional car tire when I don't want to get out the big compressor.
I've got some Milwaukee M12 stuff and some Ryobi One+ 18V stuff.
Ryobi makes a "high pressure" 18V inflator that they sell for $29.
Milwaukee makes a 12V inflator that they sell for $119.
Several of the bigger brands have stuff that's $70-100, and then there is also a group that's $150-200. Prices are all over the place.
Anyone got any thoughts on the $120 12V milwaukee vs the $30 Ryobi? My other Ryobi stuff has been good/fine. My Milwaukee stuff is great. If it was $30 vs $60 or $30 vs $80, I'd probably go for the Milwaukee without thinking about it too much. But is the Milwaukee (at only 12V) really going to be 4x as good? But for only $30, I wonder how good can the Ryobi be?
