    So I bought a Milwaukee tire inflator. This thing is a beast. Filled up my steer from 101 psi to 110 in about 2.5 minutes.

    That’s impressive. I didn’t think you’d find anything powerful enough.

    That’s awesome!
    I’m getting one now to add to my Milwaukee collection, lol.

    Do you think it can handle 120 psi on steers?
    That’s where I like keeping mine..
     
    Siinman and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    Little pricy though. Did the one from harbor just suck? Wouldn’t take a steer from 110 to 120? In less than 10 minutes?

    On the harbor freight one? Been thinking about it, since I have batteries already. But if it won’t air up a steer tire or drive tire, I’d consider the Milwaukee. Just don’t have any of their tools or batteries. And hard to swallow that $200+.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
