Makita DMP181Z 18V Li-ion LXT Inflator – Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

It's possibly a bit unreasonable to criticise a general-purpose device like this for its shortfalls as a cycling tool, but the adapters to inflate Presta valves, balls and other inflatables feel like afterthoughts.

Woods valves don't have enough thread for a regular Presta head to stay attached, even though the thread size is the same, so this is very useful if you have any Dutch bikes with wacky Woods valves around.Woods, or English, valves are on every kind of "regular" bike over here in Japan hence the little clip. This Makita inflator features a digital screen with backlight, allowing the user to select the desired air pressure.

At 1,663g with battery, the DMP180Z isn't something you'd want to carry on a ride though – or is it?Say you assume the area of the piston of a track pump is one square inch, which must be ballpark correct, and someone wanted to put 120psi into a tyre, then if they weighed 120 lb (a petite 54kg) they would need their entire weight on the pump handle at that pressure. I used a Prestacycle EZ-Grip Big Presta Head instead of the brass adapter, which does the job a treat. The Makita DMP181Z is a handy cordless inflator powered by any 18v LXT battery suitable for inflating tyres, boats and camping equipment, to name a few. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT® technology, Makita 18V LXT® tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries. A company with the resources and general cleverness of Makita could surely source or invent a better system.
