PEOPLE.... ITS A 1 GALLON TANK.... How much stuff do you think this will support...?? This is NOT a 20 gallon tank to push dozens of tools or fill up 4 tires... Its 1 gallon... !!!
I am Pinning this comment. That is why we tested this in all the different tools and tasks as people think it is a dual stage 80 gallon on a battery. :)
Very much appreciated .. Just speaking how it is because most people will watch your video but not pay attention to the details .. They will watch it, see it and then ask questions when the answers were CLEARLY in the video.. !!!
You're half right. Tank size has nothing to do with inflating tires. They would inflate faster if there wasn't a tank to have to pressurize in addition to the tires themselves, though at least the buffer of a tank helps to get a more accurate PSI reading for a regulator.
So i picked this up to replace tires on the OneWheel and it is pretty amazing. After my first two tires changes (that includes setting the bead and refilling the tire) the battery was still reading 100%. I changed probably 7 tire now and the battery is still not dead. Keep in mind these are go-kart tires, but i'm extremely satisfied with it.
Agree... I'm not seeing any benefit to having a 45-min battery powered compressor. Since it is aimed at the home owner and not the job site, chances are you will always have power available. Like you said, a cordless finish nailer would probably be MUCH better and less hassle.
WaschyNumber1 agreed I think this isn't the best tool to buy since anything you can use with it ryobi has a separate cordless tool. There nail guns are amazing and would buy over a pneumatic gun since no hose and just works. And if you want to fill up tire get the inflators that cost like 20 bucks which is nice when you need to fill up tires or keep in your car if you have a leaky tire to keep it topped off
Maybe, I have the Ryobi 18V 18ga brad nailer, the Ryobi 18V 18ga stapler and the 18V 23ga pin nailer. The brad nailer and the stapler are some of the best tools Ryobi makes, the pin nailer not so much. I also have an old Dewalt 18V 16ga finish nailer. They problem you can run into is that the cordless guns are huge and heavy compared to pneumatic tools. Using the cordless tools above your head all day can wear you out. Also, there are times when you may be tight for space and the cordless tool won't fit where you need it. Both have their pluses and their minuses.
I have yet to find a pneumatic tool that I can’t find as a cordless version. I also can say that there are cordless tools of every kind that easily out perform pneumatic tools.
You all crack me up. If you want a really hot racing machine for cheap, by a Vespa, you will put a Harley to shame! Why do people do that? lol ------------That is sarcasm. I have one of these compressors and it works great for what it is "No it's not a 200 hp with a 1000 cubic foot tank" I use a 6 Ah battery, which lasts flat out for 45 minutes, blows up tires in a decent time "No it's not for the race car pit", also works no problem with a 18 gauge air gun!
I used ru-vid.comUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell
just as an update I bought this and use it for patching for roofing. cant go super fast with a roofing nailer like when your doing a fresh install of shingles but for patchwork where you're lifting up shingles and taking it kinda slow it can keep up. its a lot cheaper than buying a Dewalt 20v roofing nailer but it's still anther thing you have to carry around
Because cordless nailers are heavy compared to air nailers. Been a carpenter for decades, and while battery compressors can be nice, the fall back will always be plug in compressors and air nailers as they’re light and fast; battery nailers just can’t keep up with air nailers and are very tiring when you’re running them for 6-8 hours a day. Battery compressors are nice for small jobs where you need speed or specially nailers, like a 2” 23 ga. pin nailer. It’s also cheaper to get a compressor, even a battery one, and some air nailers than to get the equivalent amount of nailers when they’re battery nailers. I have both, though not Ryobi, as each have their place.
This unit exceeds in one place both the Dewalt and Ridgid fail: height. The others are too tall to easily stow in the plywood drawers so many contractors build in their truckbeds. As a handyman that occasionally does trim work - these small cordless compressors are a great idea.
It really helps this compressor to fill a tire up when you set your regulator to about 60-65psi ...... fills the tire a lot faster than Javi g it at 120psi and then just shoot the air to the tire ... it will drain the tank in like 4-8 seconds and maybe get about 8psi increase on the tire at to having it at 60-65psi and it will drain the tank slower but the tire will get about 10-15psi increase on the tire..... just my personal testing and noticing when filling a tire on my personal vehicles since I do mild mud/track racing and constantly have to lower and increase psi .... hope it helps
Thanks. That makes since. I got one because sometimes I need air in the back yard, or away from my garage. I was going to get a carry around tank for that. The motor on this compressor doesn't seem very big in terms of volume.
It screams out for a 120V cord. It should be able to drive a framing nailer, one nail every minute though. Need a cordless coffee maker and cordless generator next.
3:12 Minor note. You say that it takes 120 seconds to build to 120 PSI pressure, but on your phone it shows 1 minute, 20 seconds which is only 80 seconds.
Thanks for the review Brian. I'm on the fence on this one. I have two one gallon air compressors already, a California Air Tools which you could run in a nursery (really), and a Campbell-Hausfeld which you could probably hear from your house. They were great before I switched over to battery operated finish and pin nailers, but what else can you do with a one gallon air compressor? I don't even use my large air compressors anymore because pretty much everything I own is cordless. As a side note, I try to be "green" and take care of the environment, but this is taking things to the extreme. From the Ryobi manual: "Tilt tank to drain moisture from tank into a suitable container. NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be disposed of in compliance with local regulations." So where do I recycle my air compressor condensation? LOL!
This works pretty well for me. I have one and it was exactly what I was looking for. I work on garbage...errr I mean RV’s, and the moldings are always falling off. The staple gun I use doesn’t come in a cordless model, so I can go out on the lot and make the repairs quickly without having to move the unit to the shop. I was hoping it would be better at filling tires tho...
So DIY. Get an old 18V NiCd battery shell, wire it up to an 18V 20A-30A AC-DC PSU which can be had on ebay/alibaba/etc for around $40. Being separate instead of built in, will make the compressor more portable when you need it to be so.
@@stinkycheese804 Plus EACH TOOL now becomes corded if you need it to be . things Like the Vacs would benefit from that. Problem is, some of these tools Demand 30+ amps. that's not that easy. some tools. Particularly the newer ones (Brushless mostly) use 1k to 1300 watts.
I liked the idea of this until I saw the price. For $129 without the battery, you can get a very good 6 or 9 gallon air compressor. I spent $40 on a 3 gallon from harbor freight and it runs fine.
lol, i love it when someone recently buys a semi-complex HF tool and states it works fine. Come back in a few years and tell us the cost per hour till failure, and how FREAKING LOUD IT IS. Yes I was yelling. It's that loud. Otherwise I agree, in cases where you don't need it portable, AC powered is the way to go, far larger bang for buck and typically much higher airflow per dollar too. IMO Ryobi sized this just a little too small for the target market, for it to be the largest they offer at least. Even if they stayed at 1.5gal tank for portability, a little larger motor and cylinder could have still been portable size and weight for the average healthy person doing the sort of work with it one does.
Ok ---Now we are talking about a 500 dollar generator (to go with you compressor), a gas container & gas, to power your HF air compressor. Stick it behind the seat of your SUV with the kids and everything else you have just to air up a tire----wonderful! lol ---I'll keep my Ryobi, 1 gallon tank, battery power pack, thank you very much.
@@iyot1020 there are similar sized air pumps that have good output to size ratio in the off road industry. The technology is out there already, DumbAss!
I have a Dodge RAM 2500 truck with rear "tube" type air bags. I inflate the bags when I am towing my 5th wheel. I wanted a compact, battery operated air compressor that I could keep with the trailer without taking up a lot of space. Since we have so many other Ryobi tools (with lots of batteries), I thought I'd give this one a try. After watching this video I was pretty skeptical. I inflate these bags, one at a time to 65 - 70 psi. This little unit had no problem inflating the bag to 85 lbs. (I stopped there as I wasn't sure what would happen if I went to it's max capability). However, I agree with the comments in this video that it may not be what you would want if you expect to inflate a truck tire out on the road. But, for my application I think it's going to be perfect. I hope this helps.
Or just a larger cylinder. Completely replace this with a model with a larger cylinder, AND make one with two battery, larger tank, larger cylinder, with wheels.
dustoff499 they do have that option but the battery is shit since it comes with a battery that’s lower than what Ryobi recommends to run this system.....so lower than 4Ah .... just wished it would have 2 tanks like this ..... I’m thinking of fabricating another 1 gallon tank and weld the fucker using some nipples to combine both of them and have more volume of air in there to avoid this thing kicking in after just 10psi. 18-Volt ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless 1 Gal. Air Compressor with Lithium-Ion Upgrade Kit www.homedepot.com/p/306003773
In any market where you can find this, you can find their batteries and chargers MORE easily. If you were hoping a bundle price would lower the total cost, I would expect the lowest cost to be owning several Ryobi tools so you already have the batteries and charger.
They need to do a backpack version so I can finally become a ghostbuster. Seriously, just buy the ryobi 18v airstrike nailer - why the hell does this thing exist?
You think you can work continuously with 3 air nailers using this? I bet a single cordless air nailer would get the work done as fast. Getting work done fast (without dropping quality) can be directly tied to profits in many construction cases. Shorter job time = more jobs completed.
@@stinkycheese804 He was saying it was cheaper to replace his compressor with a cordless one vs replacing all three of his nailers with cordless 18v nailers.
@@michaelsummer7082 Yes, and I was saying that's not a valid argument because this can't support 3 nailers at once. Please try to keep up. One does not replace the other.
@@cpeterson877 yes, along with adapters for rigid, Makita, dewalt etc I never purchased the air compressor, but I run m18 on my ryobi lawnmower and my ryobi weed wacker. There's adapters for makita , dewalt to ryobi...search ebay
@@remyche4300 An inflator would work well, but you want to follow the 10 minute duty cycle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtfhClSHfVI.html
Carlos Reyes Yes, combined with the vehicle 12 volt battery charger & cordless 1/2" impact. This Compressor could be quite useful for overland camping etc.! Could also be mounted onto a larger Air Tank for extended capacity.
Great overview... I was looking to buy this to attach a rotary tool to polish/restore rusted wheels, gas tank and random parts in a motorcycle. It may work for that... but now am skeptical and looking at the cost of that battery. Appreciate the review... you may have saved me some frustration and waiting my money.
Thanks for the great review. With the proliferation of battery nailers, I think this unit really doesn't have much use. If you need something one step above the 'U' shaped inflator then maybe....
@@WorkshopAddict Do you think a 3 gallon could keep up. I hate lugging those 6 gallon compressors around. I have the dewalt cordless framing nailer by the way, still not as good as pneumatic.
@@nsxproperties560 I don't think that you're going to find an affordable 3-gallon that's going to be able to keep up with a framing nailer. Especially if you don't like the DeWalt in its speed
Everything has it's pro's and con's and there special uses. Funny how so many are fixed on one thing, like just a nail gun or tires. Yeah this little compressor has it uses! A lot of these really smaller air compressors just do not last ---this baby will run and run for ever. like a lot of compressors until they run out of battery juice or are unplugged or run out of gas. Just saying.
This is great for people who only own pneumatic nailers and often do small carpenter work in high-rise buildings, offices or job site with no electricity. In my case I have both pneumatic and cordless nailers and if i end up in a no electric jobsite I use my inverter to run my tools.
One of the most useful tools to have around is a blow gun just to blow dust and dirt off things or drying things off after cleaning with isopropyl. I got mine for this exact reason so I'm hoping it will do the job. Thanks for the review!
@@nukiewin Sort of. It's not great but for small parts and situations where you're willing to wait for it to repressurise, it's useful enough. I think a 25l plug-in compressor is a much more useful thing to have.
I have been eye balling it, my question is how well does it handle an airbrush? Is it useable or does it burn though the gallon of air in a few seconds. I am talking painting models not walls.
I’m looking for something with enough power to blow myself. I do lawn service and get grass on me after every lawn. When I go to give quotes I have to drive to the car wash to air myself and equipment off then head to give the quote or when I am done at the end of the day I like to blow myself off and equipment before going home. Don’t like taking all those grass clippings home. Would this work good for that?
@@WorkshopAddict oh ok. Yes that’s what it seemed like after watching your video. I need something stronger. Ok I’ll have to just go with another compressor then thanks
