Makita DMP181ZX 18V LXT Cordless High-Pressure Inflator – Auto-Stop, 160 PSI

Meet the Makita DMP181ZX 18V LXT Cordless High-Pressure Inflator, a compact tool designed for fast, precise inflation wherever you need it. Driven by a Makita-built high-volume pump, this inflator can push air up to 160 PSI, making quick work of car and light-truck tires, bicycle tires, and sports equipment. The auto-stop feature stops the motor automatically when your preset pressure is reached, helping you avoid overfilling and reducing guesswork. Three speed settings (High, Medium, Low) let you dial in the right flow for different tasks, and an integrated air-release button makes micro-adjustments simple without letting air escape from the tire. The large, backlit pressure gauge is easy to read at a glance, even in low light, while the built-in LED work light illuminates the area around the tire valve so you can see what you are doing. The 25-1/2-inch hose provides extended reach to reach around wheels and across trunks, and the inflator’s compact form makes it easy to store in a trunk or workshop cabinet.

Powered by Makita 18V LXT batteries, this tool is part of the worldb s largest cordless tool system. Star Protection Computer Controls maintains real-time communication between the tool and battery to monitor conditions that could lead to overload, over-discharge, or overheating. This intelligent coordination helps support reliable performance during a range of inflation tasks while maintaining flexibility, since you can power the inflator with Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries bearing the star symbol that indicates Star Protection inside.
