That unit is a little slower but it is more compact. Glad to hear the Dewalt tool set has a good inflator as well.
Agreed. It's slower based on a man with both inflators testing side by side on youtube. BUT he tested the TYPE I, no testing TYPE II and Milwaukee I can find online.
I had the 20V Dewalt inflator before I bought my Cybertruck. It's a solid little rechargeable inflator for adding a couple lbs. per tire, but it's completely unsuitable for airing up all four Cybertruck tires after deflating for off-roading. I still have the Dewalt, I added 2 psi per tire to my CT tonight with it, it works fine for that (but slightly slow).
I don't know you have Dewalt inflator Type I or Type II but if you read my post Type II runs non-stop for 30 minutes from 6 PSI - 57 PSI just a very little warm to touch for 1 tire. I did not test non-stop all 4 tires though.
I bought a 120 volt compressor at Harbor Freight and strapped it up front in the bed with a 25’ extension cord. This way I don’t have to worry about weather a small compressor battery will still have a charge after sitting for a period of time. Also it will pump up a tire pretty fast.
My DeWalt inflator is the Type I. It's never shut off due to thermal overload, but I've never used it to add 15 lbs. to every tire in a row. That would take forever and cause undue wear on the inflator. It's a good little inflator, but it's not made for filling multiple 35" tires in a row.
I had the 20 V Dewalt before I got the Cyber Truck due to having many batteries for it. I keep it in my Hummer and after deciding that the Cyber Truck was going to be my vehicle for my 100 plus miles crossing the Everglades several times a month at night, I took Hauling Ass's advice on the TC-BL compressor to keep in the Tesla truck now. The storage compartment in the bed of the truck is not very high so the compressor had to fit in there. Not many will. For my use I needed one for the same reason as my Hummer, fix tire in place on vehicle as I do not carry a spare. The TC-BL does ger hot when adding air to just one tire but much faster than the Dewalt. I also bought a 25' 16 ga extension cord to keep with it to make it a bit easier to reach the front tires. Works great off of the trucks electrical outlet in bed of truck. I did not find a small compressor that would fit in the storage compartment with a reserve tank. I wonder what Teslas compressor will be like.
The listing you linked to doesn't designate whether the buyer will recieve a "Type I" or "Type II". It looks just like my DeWalt inflator. What is the specific difference between the two types?
You've already spent more than the more powerful, more robust inflator I linked to above. And it can be left in the trunk, even during cold or hot weather. DeWalt recommends storing their inflator indoors, away from cold and hot conditions, probably because it runs on batteries. Li-ion batteries do not like to be frozen or baked in a trunk. Can you at least run the AC converter without the battery installed? But why not just buy a unit that runs on A/C natively?
From those numbers it looks like it would take around an hour to do what the TC-BL does in 5 minutes. Listening to an inflator for an hour every time I finished 4x4ing would drive me absolutely nuts! I would NEVER air down if I had to refill using the DeWallt inflator.
What does the "ALL" refer to here? Filling four tires consecutively?
The TC-BL gets hot when filling only one tire at a time (if you don't turn it down to 50% speed) because it flows so much more air than a Schrader valve is capable of flowing. That's why I recommend filling all tires simultaneously with 4-way hose, or turning the compressor down to 50% power if filling one tire at a time.
