I do my best to be prepared for the unexpected.
I keep jumper cables in the truck and have a chainsaw along when I’m in the side-by-side.
A couple months ago one of the guys at the jobsite was using a Milwaukee Tire Inflater for filling up test plugs.
I thought that’d be the perfect thing to carry in my truck or take on the trail.
Once the 3-foot hose is screwed onto the valve stem the digital read-out tells you how much air is in the tire- this one only had 3 pounds.
I set it to 20 pounds and pushed the on button.
This little inflater delivers up to 150 PSI.
Once it reaches the programmed setting it automatically shuts off.
It fits the big 12-amp hour batteries with no problem.
There’s a compartment on the back with a couple of nozzles.
I used this one to blow out the air filter on the Can Am.
It wasn’t any too much power, but it did the job.
Milwaukee says this inflator will top off a 33-inch truck tire in under one minute.
So let me know in the comments would you pay $140 bucks for this inflator, or carry a can of fix-a-flat? @hausplans
