Air compressor

The takeaway from the Cordless video above is the DeWalt is very good (esp for higher PSI tires). I'm assuming it will work equally as well / better when it's plugged in.

I use the Milwaukee M12 at the race track. It will take ~12 tires from 24 to 36PSI on a charge. Also has no issue taking trailer tires from 76-80. Its not fast, but it has a set point, so you can walk away. Of all the high end tools I use, that one gets the most compliments.

I use my 20V Dewalt almost every week whether its my truck or equipment in the yard. Been one of the best $100 I've spent. That said, I already been invested in batteries and such so it fits well. No problem filling truck tires to 70 PSI or more. I usually don't have to go that high even on my old F250.

I just picked up the 20v Dewalt air compressor as well. Partially because I already have some 20v Dewalt tools (drill, recip saw, etc.), and partially because I found a decent deal for the air compressor + an extra 2.0ah battery ($80+ itself) for $129.99:

Also, you can buy an AC cord to use on the Dewalt compressor to plug in instead of the 12v if you'd like.

That said, either my Dewalt air compressor is not accurate for the PSI... or my truck isn't accurate. Because they aren't aligning. Truck shows 45 PSI for each tire, while the compressor shows a few pounds less. I'm thinking its the truck because before I bought the compressor I filled up the tires at a gas station and the PSI was not aligned either.

Been using this for two years as a travel trailer and second home air compressor. 120 volt and takes up some room in the pickup/camper but it's been great for me and would purchase again, no question ... https://www.pepboys.com/porter-cabl...free-fully-shrouded-compressor/product/770833

Looking at options to use with a powerboost. I wish VIAIR made something like the 400P but with a standard outlet. Just being able to plug into the bed of the truck vs hooking up to the battery in the truck would be great.

same here, looking for something that uses 110 and I can hang on the builtrite molle panel I have installed. So it would have to me flat like the viair. ARB makes some, but they are not cheap...

Does arb have a 110 model?

@ocwill1 Let me know if you found a compressor that fits that builtrite panel. I may buy the builtrite panel (the small one, for the forward cleat because I already have swingboxes on the aft cleats) for this purpose.

have not really looked too much lately as I plan to remove air bags this spring since I do not need them anymore. I hadn't found too many 110 compressors that were midrange, arb expensive, then a bunch of cheapo amazon that I don't think I would trust.. Was looking at viair, and cannot remember if they had one or not...

Another vote for the DeWalt one, particularly if you already have DeWalt 20V cordless tools.

FWIW I bought the dewalt. Would have loved to buy the similar Ryobi, but the Ryobi was battery-only. The AC cord is another $47, and a decent amount of bulk, so will rock the Dewalt using 12DC for now. I'll let you know if I mount it to the builtrite panel. Seems overkill but the odds and ends laying around in the truck are adding up.

On a side note, let me know if there's an easy way to add molle compatible mounts to a random piece of hardware like the dewalt.
