Professional Tool Reviews for Pros
While cordless inflators all perform the same basic function, some models feature an extra degree of refinement. The Makita DMP181 18V Cordless High-Pressure Tire Inflator improves upon previous models with a higher PSI limit, faster inflation, and some convenience features to easily top off car, truck, and bike tires, as well as sports balls and other inflatables.
The Makita High Pressure Inflator delivers up to 160 PSI. Compared to the DMP180, this version generates 40 more PSI. It has high, medium, and low speed settings to help regulate pressure across various applications. The backlit pressure gauge provides an easy-to-read display in any lighting condition.
It also features an auto-stop function that lets you set a predetermined air pressure; when your setting is reached, the Makita DMP181 shuts off to prevent overfill. However, Makita includes an air release button on the side of the unit to release air pressure just in case you do over-inflate.
Currently, the Makita DMP181 18V LXT Cordless High-Pressure Inflator is available as a bare tool. It retails for $159 and comes with Makita’s 3-year warranty. You can find it anywhere Makita tools are sold.

Filling car tire with DMP181 is not as easy as with the DMP180. Why they had to change the head from tratitional…
On mine I drilled a hole through the trigger and housing just slightly larger than the ball inflater needle, this works great. Set pressure,insert needle and it will shut off .
I just bought the Dewalt as it can be set and walked away from where the Makita in the stores requires a finger on the trigger at all times and that was the deal breaker for me. What about this one?
No cfm ratings or time to inflate a tire from 15 to 30 psi?
