Fast, accurate, portable, and easy inflation! These are the best words to describe the new 2475-21XC and 2475-20 Milwaukee M12 Compact Inflator from Milwaukee Tool. This small tool has much power behind it and makes your work easier. Knowing how much you need to fill your tire is scary for many people.
- Are you filling it out enough?
- Are you overfilling it?
- Will the tire blow up or deflate if I stop now?
These are common questions most people have for their tires. For trade pros, they might have one: “How long will this take?”
The Milwaukee Inflator will not only do the job but will do it five times faster than other corded and cordless units. Trade pros can use it to pressure test a plumbing system, or the average person can use it to fill up car or light truck tires, fill balls, and compact equipment tires.
What’s So Special About It?
The Milwaukee M12™ Compact Inflator is superior to other tools on the market as this tool delivers in both speed and range. It can top off a standard car tire in under 1 minute, then go and fill a truck tire from zero to full. It is the first cordless inflator to fill that tire with just one battery. From a simple fix to heavy-duty jobs, this tool can handle it with ease.
Weighing just over 3 pounds, you will not have to worry about lugging it around. It can be held in one hand easily while offering the power you need to do your job. But just because it is light does not mean this tool is delicate. It was designed and built with a reinforced cage to protect it from drops, impact, and inclement weather.
One problem you may experience with other inflators is the vibration. Putting one on your workbench and turning it on is unheard of. It cannot help but jump and bounce around. It is like having an earthquake centered on just the inflator. Milwaukee has designed theirs with an anti-vibration stand, which means no movement while filling, which leads to a safer work environment.
This tool’s most impressive feature would be the REDLINK Intelligence™ with the True Fill™ Auto Shut-Off technology. It delivers highly accurate pressure, automatically sensing the filling speed, and protects from overfill and overtempt. The inflator will shut off at the desired PSI and comes with a back-lit LCD screen with digital gauges to check the target and current pressure reading. These features simplify the tool for the average buyer while giving pros an accurate read on their task.
Other Cool Features
We have given you the basics, so let us give you all the bells and whistles. First, it comes with a twenty-six” hose, a good length for most jobs. Then, it comes with other attachments, including a ball inflation needle, an inflatable nozzle, and a Presta chuck. All of this can comfortably fit on the back of the compressor, so there is no need for a clunky bag that you can lose. The hose has an all-brass chuck that creates an easy and reliable connection to tires, preventing leaks.
Final Thoughts
This compact inflator will be the best buy for the summer season. Whether it is biking, camping, working, or going to a lake, this will be the only tool you need if it needs air. Having this in your car’s emergency kit would be handy. If you cannot make it to the pump, you will already have one in your car waiting right next to your jack and spare tire.

December 7, 2018 at 4:09 pmI purchased this and took it back. While I like the features , the power and the lower sound level, my problem was the way it attached to my tire valve stem. Screwing it on caused air to leak out which was no issue because the pump quickly filled my tire to the pre-set poundage. Put I had the same issues, in unscrewing it – loosing about 5 pounds of pressure.
Ryobi has the same type of attachment as does a bicycle pump. I did email Milwaukee, but they did not respond to my email question.

December 9, 2018 at 7:09 pmHi William, Thank you for your comment. We have not experienced losing 5psi but do agree with you that some air leaks out when removing the hose. We will also bring this up to Milwaukee but from our experience it gives you a more secure attachment to the tire stem when you screw it onto the threads instead of using a plastic lock. We would suggest over inflating the tire some and then let a little out while removing the hose and then checking the tire pressure with a gauge and making any final adjustments with the back of the pressure gauge.
Thank you,
