Testing Cheap Tools That Hit or Miss: Does This $39 Inflator Measure Up?
What happens here
To address a review from 'DB' stating the product is 'Too slow,' the host sets up a head-to-head competition. He connects both the generic LIVOWALNY inflator and the Milwaukee M18 inflator to separate trailer tires, which were previously confirmed to be at 49.5 PSI using the Slime gauge. Both inflators are set to a target of 60 PSI, and the host starts them simultaneously using a stopwatch on his phone. The Milwaukee inflator reaches 60 PSI in 2 minutes and 15 seconds, while the generic inflator takes 2 minutes and 56 seconds. This confirms that the generic inflator is indeed slower than the Milwaukee, validating DB's review. During the test, the host also observes that the generic inflator's digital display fluctuates erratically when he moves or touches the device, indicating potential instability in its readings.
Goal: Compare the inflation speed of the generic and Milwaukee inflators when inflating to 60 PSI.
