For the average person I think the small 18v is the way to go. It's a little slower but it is small and light and easy to throw in a trunk or a back seat. Being 18v it has enough juice to inflate a full set of 4 tires vs the 12 that would struggle. It is just too bad none of these have a trigger lock. Shame on you Makita.
I'm sure it's a legal issue. They've heard us complain for years. Even with a new generation with a mechanism they can easily implement is something they wouldn't overlook.
My large 18v frequently over inflates past the target pressure with no sign of stopping. A trigger lock is unfortunately a liability issue for Makita. Of course the sensible of us wouldn't rely only on the auto shut off.. a cable tie does the trick.
Why do you prefer the small 18v over the 12v? I haven't yet seen the reviews for those smaller tools but will look for them now. I just need something to top off my car tires.
@@sappo504 There's an Uncle who tears one down elsewhere on here. 'Does a crackin' job too. Changes out the indicator module t'ing. If you follow him down you'll see... there's nowhere to put a safety'... They'd have to reengineer the entire switch(ing) arrangement. That's not about to happen 😕 There's actually a fair bit inside one🤔
I have the Milwaukee and I absolutely LOVE the screw-on fitting. One of the best features of the tool in my opinion. Those clamp-on fittings never seem to seal properly and they can be a pain to get the valve pin pushed in properly. I have absolutely consistent performance with the screw-on fitting on the Milwaukee. I may even get the larger 18V Makita now that I know it has the same fitting, that's how much I love it.
I have the older 18 Volt model and it’s a solid machine, as for the lack of a trigger lock I use a Velcro strap and it works flawlessly. In my opinion Makita really needs to bring out an Inflator/Jump Starter Combination. I doubt that the CXT Platform would be powerful enough but the LXT X2 would probably work just fine.
The screw on fitting with a clamp on attachment would be the way to go but im sure you can buy or make one. I will be buying the 18v as my tools are 18v and i will make a trigger clamp thanks for the video legend👍
I use my 40v inflator to air test domestic pipe installations (does that count as household use only?😆). 5 bar for half an hour, typically takes close to 10mins to reach that pressure as there is a lot of volume. I managed to break the brass hose tip pin depressor in mine, presumably because it spends a lot of time under load on a Schrader valve, after a repair under warranty I've got an extension hose which doesn't engage the pin and has the quick release lever instead
I have several of the new 40V tools by Makita but I like my Inflator more than the others combined! No more having to go to the service station to fill up my low tires! 👍🏿
Hi as read ur comment info hear for all & ur comment & cheers for posting ur tests on the net & all say that ball test blow up was something I definitely thought what was going too happen to ur air compressor once it popped but no it never really moved the air compressor just twisted the hose u could have added a 1/2 pipe over the pipe and added a builders big block brick 🧱 & controlling your tyres air quality on re having to go to the tyre inflator place well hears a better way off keeping ur tyres up for way longer 1 as u run ur vehicle the tyres rubber heats up with friction causing the air inside too change quality if u want ur tyres too stay inflated for way longer than ur normal - then remove all the stagnant heated poor air quality that’s in ur tyres and add a completely fresh new batch off air - so am saying a jack is required really for this procedure ie take weight off the flat tyre - this process needs done at least once -twice - a year if u want to keep ur tyres up for longer re if u do shorter or longer journey all gives different figures & all say if u do rather a lot off miles in a year then it’s ur assessment in a year its required instead off topping up very month or every 2-3 month or a monthly check incase & as said tyres heat up with friction on tar and even the climate u live in all adds too ur assessment on ur tyre inflation process & usage - plus the air changes after rather a few hot 🥵 sunny ☀️ days as does it change the air quality after a poorer climate ie winter 🥶 ❄️ colder conditions and we’ll do heaps off wheel spins or burn outs then ur adding too concerns know these process off ur climate ie environment and not only are u using the air u breath&require to live ie robbing ur air from the ethos on planet Earth when u release all off the stagnant air out and add fresh ur helping the planet and ur probably going too use less air by assessing ur own life style better - so take air and give it back & plus u can even save ur tyre condition so they last longer so re that outcome then longer run time is possible so even saving money on new tyres so that understanding gives for a safer vehicle owner & lets say a little concentration re extra investigative & inventive ways off using a tyre inflator & all add u can use that needle ball adaptor as a decent air compressor dust blower on electrics as I use it to service vehicle brakes with that pin added even adding a longer thin bit off pipe all helps inventiveness with a invention even so much other things can get way cleaner .. isn’t strange how we need air quality 😁... 18 volts are enough
Maybe there is a way to make a Makita semi compact framer with these. Make up a back back with a small air tank and the 40v inflator used to fill the tank to 90-100 psi. Then a short hose to an pneumatic framing nailer! It could work 😁
I have the 40v Makita inflator and it over inflates past the set pressure, something you didn't talk about in the video and it happened to you at 9:51 you had it set to 32psi but it went to 34.5, mine seems to go 2 psi over. None of the others seemed to do this?
Can you make another video of the two new ones on car tires with specs of 45-50psi. Times I’ve used my bike pump to inflate my car tires, the struggle start until I’m at 40psi
pulling the trigger on the bigger xgt was dependant on the trigger lock haha....no go for the upgrade....ill stick to my small inflator always accompanied by a small clamp to hold trigger depressed.....great vid man....keep the makita info coming..always trying to find an excuse to buy something new.. cheers from canada
In my opinion the meaning of "house hold only" is that the tool is not for a professional use aka shops.. etc. Just for you and your vehicles, bikes...
"Household use only" is all about the accuracy of pressure not about the sturdiness of the tools. In commercial or industrial applications one often needs quite accurate pressure sources and accurate pressure readout. Thus there are calibrated manometers. Makita inflators does not provide with either industrial-grade pressure readout or industrial/production grade pressure parameters.
I noticed my dmp180 started lying with the measurement. Usually it shows 2 psi lees than the actual pressure. Needs to run it for 3 seconds, and suddenly it will show the correct value. Same issues with inflating. It inflates 2 psi more. Probably because the rubber piece moved a bit.
@@shortyorc121 These guys are still useful as part of recovery kits stored in vehicles. Accuracy isn't super important in that role, just being in the ball park is enough.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say there’s probably a few Makita employees that watch your channel. I can imagine them going 🤦♂️, why didn’t we include a screw on version of the 90° attachment 🤷🏻♂️.
I own the small 18V version 4 years now and am really happy with it. But I'd swich to a newer version in a hart beat if it would come trigger lock. Will that ever happen?
Doubt it, It’s due to the duty cycle for not having a trigger lock. Most people have no idea about duty cycles so I suppose they were smart and decided to make people only use it when the trigger is on.
@@kizzjd9578 I doubt that is the main reason for no trigger lock. Most small compressors with a on/off toggle switch have a duty cycle, a lot simply do not even list it. It is likely for some possible safety reason or a combination of factors. It makes even less sense when they could have a trigger lock but have it auto stop at the set pressure like some other brand do.
@@Jtwizzle fair enough, I wasn’t aware of other brands having a trigger lock. I do know that with my ARB high output 4wd compressor, its just got a on/off switch as it has a 100% duty cycle.
@@kizzjd9578 Yeah, I have a viair compressor and it has a toggle switch and 25 minutes @ 30psi duty cycle. It can fill all 4 truck tires in under 10 minutes(from 18 to 32) so thats not a problem, though. All depends I guess.
Genuine "Mokita" Trigger lock! Infinitely adjustable! Just cut to suit and slid on when needed. Coming to a store near you for a mere $XXXXXX (I know it looks like a black cable tie, but ....).
Just an observation, test spare wheel having 80KM max speed rating sticker so space saver ? 32PSI not a safe pressure for space saver tyre! should probably be more like 60PSI.
If I had to guess the reason for household use only, it's generally recommended to not leave batteries in vehicles. They're probably trying to avoid giving replacement batteries for swelling caused by extreme temperature fluctuations? Just shootin in the dark here but seems reasonable.
Does anyone have issues with over inflation? I set mine to 36 psi and when it cuts out it shows 40 psi. It's there a way to calibrate the unit DMP 181z model.
DMP181Z I am absolutely baffled by the design of this tyre inflator. 1. You set the target limit, but then have to bend down to hold in the trigger to make the pump work. I bought it to save my back and it doesn’t do that. 2. Why is there no auto shut off? What is the point setting the target pressure? The pump will also continue pumping if you hold the button in past the target pressure. 3. There is a bracket for a valve I’ll never use hanging on the end of the inflator tube which makes it very awkward to attach. Why isn’t it stored elsewhere? 4. The tube has a straight valve connector that loses pressure as you unscrew it and is also nigh on impossible to get it on to a motorcycle front wheel valve. Valve needs to be right angled and quick release.
Could these inflators cover some of the same jobs as the 40v duster? Everything I've seen seems to indicate it would work well for blowing out sawdust/dust in tools/computers, but I'm not sure if I've missed some important detail.
If I had a shop and had to inflate tires in a timely manner I would just use the 20 to 30 gallon air compressor that would also power all of the air tools, screw the handheld inflator.
Just got my 40v and the control panel glitches out. Kind of like the battery connection is poor, or a loose wire in the unit somewhere. Shame have to return it without even getting to use it
The household use thing is because of the pump design. The life span of these is only a few hours. On a work site they would burn out fast. At home those few hours could take a decade.
NEVER touch the trigger until you're ready to shoot! Ladies...🙃 Hmmm.... No trigger lock? You'll be wanting the Full Fat Weapon then? Especially if you gotta bad finga.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL That's tough M8 If it's any consolation we got sweaty butt crack Azores High Humid iT. I hate it. Shittle Brittan🙄. Thanks for posting BTw. I couldn't find any good gen on which puffers which otherwise. Do me a favour? Have beer and pretend I bought it for ya.
What a HUGE design flaw to not have an auto fill / trigger lock on it… all the other inflators fill the tire automatically… you have to hold the trigger on all Makita pumps or just the smaller ones?
