Once again, you folks spotlight tools I wouldn’t normally think about. I’ve got the little trigger-operated version of the RYOBI inflator- it works ok, but takes forever. If the bigger version works with the 18 volt batteries, that might be worth looking into. Cheers!
That was a really good review process. I have BOTH batteries. I had the chance to use the Dewalt on my 3/4 ton E load tires. I filled all 4 with a needed 4-6 pounds each tire due to the winter effect on tire pressures.. or my neglect to watch the TPMS warnings on the dash. I am buying the DeWalt as I have those batteries times 10 of RYOBI batteries. haha.. thanks
Awesome review! I know that must be loaner products but the only thing that would do this review incredible perfect is a tear down, to see the quality of the pump (if is metal or plastic, etc). I'm DeWalt fan but this pump is something that I would use once or twice a year, the Ryobi would do just fine. BUT, I already have lot of dewalts batteries, and zero Ryobi. making it, in a way, more expensive
Nope, we own both of these. We use DeWalt in one shop and Ryobi in the other, so that gives us the opportunity to really use both. A tear-down would be interesting. Maybe we'll get a chance to do that next time we do a tool review. But both of these pumps work great!
I can buy two Ryobis for the price of the DeWalt. Hmmm is the DeWalt worth it. Only plus is the power cable to the lighter but I have had bad luck with blown fuses in the past but on cheapo inflaters.
If it screws on like the stock ends it should work. Everything we've seen on both pumps is pretty standard, so it should be possible to find other attachments that work.
That's the risk of third party parts. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they aren't. But we use original batteries for all of our stuff. It's just easier to source that way.
How can both the ryobi and the dewalt inflate the flamingo at the same exact speed down to the mili second? Especially after it had shown it was faster with the other items it inflated? Could it have been a typo?
