Has anyone used the Milwaukee 2848-20 inflator, how well did it work? seems like it would be a great deal as I already have plenty of Milwaukee battery's.

I use the 2840-20, which is also m18, but has a two gallon tank. It works quite well. Until very soon, I’ve been using it with an inline trigger with gauge, doing each tire individually. I have 37x12.5x17 tires. I can refill all four 3 times from 16-36 on one battery, but that’s a 12amp battery. I carry a second 9amp with me if it gets low on multi-day trips. My speedflate four tire setup has shipped, so I’ll continue using the same compressor, but do all four at a time so I can multitask. I’ll provide reviews for that combo after it’s been tested. I can say I really like airing up without the hood open or the engine started.Has anyone used the Milwaukee 2848-20 inflator, how well did it work? seems like it would be a great deal as I already have plenty of Milwaukee battery's.
The advantage to the small 12v and 18v inflator style (no tank) is that they’re digital and stop automatically when they reach the set pressure. I have one of those as well that I primarily use for bike tires. The disadvantage is they’re very slow to inflate large tires. The one with the tank does 150psi when the tank is pressurized, and 35 if the tank is totally empty. So it’s LOTS faster. But yes, Milwaukee makes things to last.I think the Milwaukee would be a good choice. They are certainly known for quality.
After testing my Milwaukee m18 2 gallon with Speedflate, I couldn’t be happier. I easily shaved 5 minutes off of my air up time. I aired all four 37’s from 15psi to 36psi in 15 minutes. No complaints.I use the 2840-20, which is also m18, but has a two gallon tank. It works quite well.
