My best gift I've given myself this year.

I like Milwaukee tools in general as they are becoming the "Swiss Army Knife" company for battery powered tools. My latest addition is the battery powered inflator that I got for $99 with battery and charger on sale at Farm and Fleet.

The reason I like it is you set the pressure, screw the hose onto the tire stem and hit start and the compressor runs until the pressure is reached. The small M12 battery it came with is good for at least 12 tires (I ran out of tires before I ran out of charge). It sure is a lot easier than firing up the compressor, stringing out the hose, and then squatting with the hose and gauge. If you have a fair number of cars in your fleet, it is really handy.....

I should note, it took about 40 seconds per tire to raise from about 25 psi to 30 psi. All tires were about 25 psi.

@racinbob Oh, nice! I love my 12 volt 3/8" ratchet. I really want to pick up their 3/8" stubby impact gun.

I love air pumps with this feature. There’s one at a gas station near work that does it, and a home unit would be great.
I really hate to add another battery/charger style to my pile though.

I received a Target gift card as an early Christmas present, so of course I stocked up on Jeep extras. Inflator, inverter, emergency triangle...the one thing they didn't carry sadly was a safety tool, but I can order something online.

Based on MCM I would've thought it'd be Ryobi with that crown

[RacinBob]

@samv8 Oh, Ryobi might be better, but I've never really looked at them. Almost 20 years ago I bought my 1/2" Milwaukee V-18 impact and have never looked back.

But it's not like a ton of tools. just the impact, a V-18 drill and M12 3/8 inch ratchet, work light, and now compressor.

I am impressed by what Milwaukee is doing, I might buy a M12 Dremmel next.....

I bought an air compressor that uses the car's 12v socket to power itself, with the price of around $10 to $11, along with a 120 watt adapter, so I can use it with the electricity of our home in December last year. Sketchy AF, with inaccurate pressure gauge. The needle indicates that the tire pressure is 50 psi, while using a separate tire pressure gauge shows that the pressure is 35 psi instead. And, the price of the adapter is more expensive than the pump.

Every time I use it, all I wanted to do is to run away and take cover in case the compressor decided to explode.
