" ...  Easy to use yet powerful enough to handle the job.  ...  "

" ...  Great product, very intuitive to use. ... Right pause/play button has a volume turn dial that allows you to easily “dial in” the desired pressure. ... Hit the “play” button and it begins to pump up the tire and automatically stops once the desired pressure is hit. ... I have not used this feature yet but it looks equally intuitive.  ...  "

" ...  It's not as fast as my wired 12v Vlair but it's so much easier to setup and use that I go right to the Dewalt inflator all the time now for car and truck tires.  ...  "

" ...  it takes a while to fill a car tire but with a good battery it will fill four car tires that are pretty low.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This battery is the largest battery that will still allow the inflator to stand up and not be tippy. ... In addition to the inflator, you must buy a battery and the a/c adapter is also purchased separately.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I used an existing 20V battery from a previous purchased DeWALT power tool. ... Can’t say this item is ‘needed’ but would be a ‘nice to have’ for when used to air up inflatables if the battery isn’t charged up. ... 20V DeWALT batteries range in price  ...  "
comment
" ...  Works ok, needs a battery supplied with it for this price  ...  "
comment
" ...  If you have dewalt batteries - it’s a no brainer.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I bought the optional battery pack and use this inflator to maintain correct tire pressure.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I thought I'd need to buy either the Rechargeable Battery for an extra $50 or maybe the A/C accessory for $60 but guess what?  ...  "
comment
" ...  It costs a bit more than some other options but if you've already got Dewalt batteries this is definitely worth having.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Overall, it's been very handy.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The air chuck threads onto the valve stem, instead of the lever or clip-on versions found on cheaper units. ... The compressor is compact enough to fit in smaller nooks and crannies of a car's trunk or SUV's cargo area.  ...  "
