Dewalt DCC020IB 20V MAX Cordless Inflator (Bare Tool)

I bought this because it was advertised as a 12V DC device. But it only works when the car engine is running. Otherwise it gives "low power". This is very inconvenient on my sailing boat as this only has a large battery, but not an engine. So this is unuseable there. I would have better bought a 20 euro simple 12V device that simply runs on 12V instead of having to start an engine.

Bought this because of the 3 way power only to find out that you have to buy the 115V power cord extrad. (at abouit $50). I returned the unit.

This inflator is a must have for anyone with a vehicle and has Dewalt 20V tools. I've had mine for a couple years now. Purchased it mainly for the acreage but now I always keep it in my truck. 100x better than those old 12V cigarette lighter inflators... shouldn't even use those as a comparison. Have wound up using it countless times... bikes, riding mowers, cars, trucks, trailers, etc... apparently it can do air mattresses, and other inflatables but I've never had to use it for that. As just a reliable tire inflator it is worth every penny.

I do highly recommend using a 5mah battery. Like many of the Dewalt 20V line of tools, a 2mah is great for drills, sanders, etc... but this inflator like the 12" chainsaw and angle (and others) require a longer duration of power.

Overall thoughts are that this is a must have and it is handy, quick, reliable and cost-effective if you already have Dewalt 20V batteries

Just got it today, along with a 2 pack of 20v 4 ah batteries. I inflated 2 boat tires from 25 to 60 (with boat on the trailer). And 4 F150 tires (BFGs) from 45 to 55. Dialed them in, set it and check back when you hear the noise stop. Worked perfectly. After that I had 1 of 3 power bars. Pretty nice in my opinion. Hopefully it lasts. It has a 3 year warranty which I think is fair.

If you want a compressor to inflate a low tire, take on a hunting trip for fixing a flat, or around the camp to inflate floatables, then this is it. It is so handy. Dial in the pressure, hook it up, turn it on a walk away. It stops when it gets to the desired pressure.

Today was the first day I used the inflator. It inflated my vehicle’s 4 tires precisely & easily..

However, I tried 6 times to inflate my 2 trailer tires to its recommended 50psi & it didn’t work. I hope it was a user error instead of a product problem but I expected it to work in the same straightforward way as it did on my car tires. Unfortunately it didn’t.

Good tool for home or trailer only issue it does NOT come with 110v AC cord and trying to find the cord which states sold separately is IMPOSSIBLE even on the Dewalt Canada web site it is no where to be found.

Jrw3207's review is not a fair comparison to the Milwaukee M18. The review states: Takes a long time to fill up car tires compared to Milwaukee M18 Inflator. DeWalt needs to catch up. Standards are getting low. The Milwaukee product mentioned is about $100 more expensive and that's because it's meant for heavier duty jobs. The Dewalt is great for inflatable water toys, bicycle and small tires and will naturally take longer to fill large tires as opposed to the Milwaukee. "DeWalt needs to catch up, standards are getting low"... Are you serious? Really? You don't see a fault in your comparison of the two? When reviewing a product you should at the very least compare apples to apples, not apes to oranges. Anyone reading Jrw3207's review shouldn't take it seriously at all and I suggest you file the review under "G" for Garbage. Ridiculous!!

Best compact inflator I have used. The only downside I have seen is it has made me too popular at work and home. Since it's quicker and more efficient than other compact inflators. I have had coworkers and neighbors asking to use it every other day.
