Product Information

If this is not possible please ensure you sign for the goods unexamined to allow us to take any claims up with our deliver partners if necessary. Given that it's made to the same standards as Makita's other LXT tools – which are designed for fairly heavy use – I expect it'll happily cope with being banged around. It is often sooner than this however different banks process these with varying levels of efficiency. Once that pressure is reached, the compressor stops, so you can't absent-mindedly over-inflate a tyre.

Most of our product pages have a link to the warranty procedure for that manufacturer and we encourage you to follow the instructions on these pages which will normally direct you to the manufacturers helpline. The Makita DMP181Z 18v LXT cordless inflator has a built-in motor that easily inflates car tyres, sporting equipment and is used for many more applications. To make sure any job can be fulfilled the adapter holder is perfect for holding all different sizes and shape adapters.

When inflating larger tyres it would be nice to be able to set it going and walk away while it gets on with it. I measured it at 34 seconds to inflate a 25mm tyre to 105psi; an SKS Rennkompressor is quicker at just 20 seconds, but is less convenient.

The Makita DMP180Z runs off the same batteries as the company's LXT line of cordless power tools, which Makita says covers more than 270 appliances – everything from the obvious drills, saws and sanders to heated jackets, Bluetooth speakers and even a wheelbarrow. Since then he has worked on MTB Pro magazine and was editor of Maximum Mountain Bike and Australian Mountain Bike magazines, before switching to the web in 2000 to work for CyclingNews. Makita’s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards – and leaving old thinking behind.The inflator also features an air-release button, high visibility pressure gauge display with backlight, and an L. Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXT® experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. The hose is quite short, so you'll be sitting the inflator on the floor to use it, rather than conveniently plonking it on a bench.

When you slide a Makita 18V LXT® battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls™. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.Toolden Limited trading as Toolden is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 654671 ). 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.
