Makita DMP180ZX 18V LXT Cordless Inflator — Auto-Stop & Backlit Gauge

The Makita DMP180ZX 18V LXT cordless inflator is designed for quick, on-the-go inflation with a compact, sturdy feel. Powered by a Makita-built motor, it delivers reliable airflow up to 120 PSI, making it suitable for topping off car tires, bicycle tires, and sports equipment. The unit prioritizes visibility and control with a high-visibility pressure gauge that features a backlight, plus an integrated LED work light to illuminate the task at hand. An auto-stop function ensures inflation ends at your preset pressure, helping you avoid overfilling while you stay focused on the road or the field.

Reach and portability are practical advantages. A 25-1/2 inch hose length provides greater reach around wheels and across fields, while the compact body is easy to carry in a bag or workshop drawer. This inflator is part of Makita’s 18V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool ecosystem powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. When paired with these batteries, the system benefits from fast charging times, so downtime is minimized between tasks. Makita’s Star Protection Computer Controls also helps manage real-time data between tool and battery to guard against overload, over-discharge, and overheating for steadier performance over time.
