18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Inflator kit (1.5Ah)

The Makita 18V LTX Li-ion Cordless Inflator Kit inflates car and truck tires very quickly. The powerful motorized compressor and 1.5 Amp-hour battery do a fine job of providing air-pressure for most things pneumatic. A sports-ball needle, Presta-valve adapter and air-mattress attachment are included in holders on the front of the compressor. The desired pressure can be preset on the digital, LED display and the inflator will automatically stop when that pressure is reached. There is a button on the side for power on and off with a separate trigger in the handle to start or run the compressor. A bright LED on the front of the unit lights the work area and the digital display is backlit when the power button is pressed. The kit comes with compressor unit, Lithium-ion battery, charging unit, and a Makita 14-in. carry bag to keep it all together. The inflator unit is equipped with soft rubber pads on the bottom so it will not scratch the paint on your car should you set it on the roof or trunk lid and the carry bag has a soft bottom.

This is a super handy device to have around. I used to have to pull out my compressor any time I wanted to fill up the car tires, now I can just walk to wherever my vehicle is, set the PSI and fill it up. It also comes with a few attachments for different filling needs like a needle for sports balls and a plastic cone for tubes and items like that. We were even able to fill up our air mattresses for camping which is one of the big reasons we wanted to get this. It is louder than I anticipated, but not too much of a nuisance. The carrying bag is very nice and comes with lots of inside pockets for accessories. All around a great tool to have on hand!

This is a review of the Makita 18 volt compressor. I received the kit which includes the battery and charger. The battery that came with mine is a 1.5 amp hour battery. This small battery is nice because it keeps the weight and profile of the compressor small, but it does have a couple draw backs. The battery does not have a meter on it, so you never know the state of charge. It is also too small to inflate a really big truck tire or off road vehicle tire. The compressor works great and even has a small light on the front. Other than the price, the only problem I have with it is that you have to keep holding down the button to keep the compressor running, which is not fun if you have to squat to fill a tire for a minute or more. It does come with adapter for filling bicycle tires and sports balls, which is a nice touch. I do like the digital gauge and that you can set the pressure to turn the compressor off at your chosen set point.

I haven't been this disappointed in a test product in a long time. I expected a substantial piece of equipment, as the name has always been synonymous with quality but this falls way short. The body is thin, lightweight, and rattles like a tin toy. It feels like plastic. The battery took all afternoon to charge and lost charge quickly. The actual inflation was no quicker than my $15.00 inflator from the super store. I like the tool bag and I like the cordless aspect so you can inflate floats poolside but at this cost? No, I can not recommend.

This little Makita inflator makes putting air in things so much easier. If you’re like me and have kids with bikes, cars, sports balls, etc that constantly need air than this is the perfect tool for you. It’s easy to use, simply place the connector on whatever you’re inflating, dial in the amount of air pressure that you desire, then pull the trigger, when the air pressure is reached, it automatically stops. Includes everything you need to inflate a couple types of bike tubes, a ball pin and a pin to I blow up small inflatables such as rafts. Also includes a nice bag to store it in. Overall, it works great, inflation times vary by what you are blowing up, obviously, things like car tires will take longer but it should get it done. That brings up the only real downside I could find, which is that there is no way to lock the trigger. You have to hold it down the entire time, definitely not a deal breaker but worth noting.

This Makita 18V LXT Lithium Ion cordless inflator kit is a great tool to have around the house or in the car. It is handy to fill everything from basketballs to car tires. The kit comes with the compressor tool, a 1.5 Ah battery and a universal charger. This Kit also comes with a nice carrying bag which was shipped separately. The kit is compatible with all the Makita 18 volt LXT line of batteries and the charger can be used with Makita Ni-MH and 14.4 Volt Li-Ion batteries. The inflator tool is easy to use, turning on the power switch turns on the led front lamp and when you attach the air chuck to the tire valve stem the digital display reads the tire pressure. You can then set the air pressure to the desired pressure using the + and - on the display and press the trigger to start the inflator. The inflator will stop when the desired pressure is met. This tool will get a good workout as I am always checking the tire pressures on my cars and it's so much easier than pulling out the air hose and using a separate air gauge. So far I am very pleased with the performance and speed of topping off my car tires.

Pretty loud, but versatile and does a great job with tires. I ordered this because we have tires that seem to deflate somewhat frequently on one of our cars, and we have three bicycles and a child with a lot of inflatable toys and pools. So far, this is doing a great job. It comes with attachments for pista inflators (common on road bike tires and tires for european bikes), a pool inflator, and a ball needle, along with a space on the front to store them. It works great with tires, simply turn the unit on, set the PSI (or bar or kPa) you want to inflate to, and pull the trigger. It inflates tires quickly. It's not so quick with then vinyl pool and toys, but that's more the nature of the valves on those things. As I mentioned, it is pretty loud, but it's a compressor, so that's not too surprising. My biggest concern is that, since this isn't something we will use every day, and I don't have other Makita tools that the battery will be drained when I need it most. Not a huge issue, because the charger works pretty quickly, but it does mean that keeping it in the car "just in case" isn't really an option. other than that it's been great. It is comfortable to grip and use, though there's no option to lock the trigger, it does have "feet" on the bottom so you can lean on it to balance as needed.

The Makita inflator DMP180 is a feature rich inflator with a well constructed package and durable components. Out of the box the inflator is ready to inflate just about anything your need, The inflator comes with a 1.5 aH battery that will handle most jobs that you throw at it, in most instances you will only be using this for a max of 3 mins. It can inflate up to 120 PSI and a max recommended run time of 10 mins to prevent overheating. The basic operation of this inflator is very simple, hook up to the object using 1 of the adapters, set the appropriate pressure ,then pull the trigger. Simple yet Powerful.

I got the Makita 18 volt LXT inflator kit as I did not have any kind of air pump as such and I have used the hand pumps that are for bicycles, and the foot pumps for rafts and I hate them, may be when your young their not bad to have to use, how ever at 52 I have had enough of those things. So this new air pump is awesome, The battery charger looks great and works great as well, it has led indicators to let you know the battery charge condition. it has a illuminated [ blue back light ] lcd display for air pressure , you can change the unit of measurement as well as the air pressure. again a huge update from the old air pumps I have used in the past. on the front it has a led light , which can be nice if you have to use it at night to illuminate your work area. on the front of the pump their is a holder with a sports ball needle adapter, and a presta valve adapter. It seems powerful to me, how ever I do not have any thing really big to inflate. comes with instructions with pictures in multiple languages.

This Makita 18v LXT Hand Compressor inflates car tires, bike tires, or a multitude of items quickly with the Makita-built motor delivering compressed air up to 120 PSI.

The kit comes with one 1.5Ah battery and the box stated a Makita bag, yet I didn't receive such and not to much of a stickler to me. The compact design allows for easy portability and convenient storage
