Les meilleurs gonfleurs de pneus pour l'entretien des véhicules, testés
Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about The Best Tire Inflators for Vehicle Maintenance, Tested and hope the blog can help you.
Don’t sink under pressure. Give your vehicle maintenance routine a boost with these dependable tools.
Most drivers have looked down at their dashboard and noticed a warning light indicating a tire with low pressure. If you drive for a minute or so and the light stays on, it’s time to take action and check those tires. You can either pay for air at the gas station pump or grab a trusty tire inflator and handle the problem on your own.
Whether it’s battery-operated, 120-volt electric, or one that plugs into the car’s 12-volt system, the right tire inflator is just the ticket when a motorist is in a pinch. In no time at all, these noisy day savers can boost a low tire to optimal pressure.
Choosing the best tire inflator for DIY needs helps keep your vehicle running at its best. From poor gas mileage to terrible ride quality, tires low on pressure can make driving problematic. So for that reason, I researched and field-tested the following tire inflators, spending more than 2 days pumping up and deflating tires, so DIYers can arm themselves with one of the best tire inflators available.

How We Tested the Best Tire Inflators
To ensure that I recommended the best tire inflators possible, I put the models on this list to the test. I used a truck tire, a bicycle tire, and a basketball as my test subjects.
For the bicycle tire, I deflated the tire as much as possible between filling and pumping it back up with the compressor. I checked to see how easy each model was to connect to a finicky, loose bicycle stem and to ensure it was easy to control while inflating.
For the basketball, I inserted the filler needle into the ball and deflated it between each test. I then attached each compresseur to see how it would do.
The final test was pumping up a low vehicle tire. Even though many of these models aren’t rated for truck tires, I don’t own a car, so truck tires had to do. I deflated the tire from 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) to 25 PSI, using the vehicle’s tire-pressure monitoring system as a reference as well as a tire gauge. Once the pressure was low enough, I connected a tire inflator and timed how long it took to pump the tire up. This gave me an excellent idea of the power and battery life these inflators could offer.

Spécifications du produit
- Taper: Battery-powered, 12-volt (V) DC for car plug-in, or 110V AC for home
- PSI: 160
- Numéro de modèle : DCC020I
Ce que nous aimons
- Gauges are easy to read and set; digital meter on the side provides a helpful visual aid
- Features 3 power options for greater usability in a variety of scenarios
- Comes with multiple accessories and everything stores securely onboard
Ce que nous n'aimons pas
- Larger batteries can prevent the feet from contacting the ground, resulting in quite a bit of chatter and movement
Shoppers looking for a top-notch tire inflator will want to consider this DeWalt model. The compressor runs on the brand’s 20V MAX battery system, allowing DeWalt users to take advantage of their existing batteries. It’s also compatible with 12V direct current (DC) outlets in vehicles and comes with a detachable cord that stores onboard safely.
This model has a digital gauge that’s easy to read and even easier to understand. You can set the pressure using the gauge and then follow the digital pressure meter that displays hash marks as the pressure climbs. It also comes with a high-volume tube for inflatables, a high-pressure hose, a sports ball needle, and an adapter for Presta valves.
I definitely enjoyed using the DeWalt inflator during the test. There was plenty of onboard storage for all of the accessories, and everything stored securely in place. I also liked the digital gauge as it was easy to set, and the meter provided a simple visual reference to use. It was relatively quiet for a tire inflator of this size, but there is a catch: I ran my test inflator off of a rechargeable DeWalt battery. The battery was a 6 amp-hour (Ah) battery, and it was too tall for the tire inflator’s rubber feet to touch. As a result, it did bounce around and chatter a bit. However, it had plenty of power and boosted our test tire up quickly, and the flexible power options are convenient; however, it doesn’t come with a battery, charger, or 120V alternating current (AC) cord adapter.

Spécifications du produit
- Taper: Alimenté par batterie
- PSI: 120
- Numéro de modèle : MP100DZ
Ce que nous aimons
- Battery operated so users can take it anywhere they need to go
- Light weight allows for comfortable handling without user fatigue over long periods
- Quickly fills a tire and has a maximum output pressure of 120 PSI
- Desired pressure is easy to set and the gauge is accurate within 1 PSI
Ce que nous n'aimons pas
- Onboard accessory storage makes it tricky to fit everything neatly without it falling off
- Hose storage system could use a redesign; can stick out awkwardly while stored
The battery-operated Makita 12V MAX CXT cordless tire inflator can pump up to 120 PSI of pressure into a car, bike, or lawn tractor tire. At just 2.13 pounds, it’s compact and lightweight, so there’s no need to lug a large, unwieldy compressor to the tire. The high-visibility pressure gauge shows exactly how much air pressure is in the tire. By presetting the CXT, it even turns off automatically when the tire reaches the desired PSI.
I found that there was a lot to like about this Makita tire inflator during testing. It had plenty of power (filling the fastest of all the inflators in the group) while being compact and comfortable to hold during inflation. The pressure was easy to set, and the gauge was accurate to within 1 PSI of the vehicle’s tire pressure monitor. The onboard storage system and the hose storage are a bit finicky, making it difficult to secure all the accessories and the hose, which is why it didn’t quite make the top spot on this list. Otherwise, there’s a lot to like about the Makita.

Ryobi One+ High-Pressure Inflator With Digital Gauge

Spécifications du produit
- Taper: Alimenté par batterie
- PSI: 150
- Numéro de modèle : P737D
Ce que nous aimons
- Cordless operation comes in handy for multiple inflation jobs around the home
- Fills very quickly, making it a good choice for topping off tires before long trips
- Lightweight and cordless construction is easy to store in a vehicle for emergencies
- Simple instructions make it easy to use right away
Ce que nous n'aimons pas
- Top-heavy design can feel bulky to handle at times
- Doesn’t have preset pressure; may require a separate pressure gauge for greater accuracy
Le Ryobi One+ high-pressure inflator is an affordable 18V battery-powered tire inflator that is straightforward, yet it can boost a tire up to 150 PSI. Its pistol grip is designed to be comfortable and easy to control, and it houses two additional needles for blowing up pool toys and athletic balls. It also features a 20-inch snap-on hose for standard tire valves and weighs 1.35 pounds without the battery.
Originally, the Ryobi featured an analog gauge, which Ryobi has upgraded to a digital gauge, and it’s a welcome addition. I did feel like the Ryobi was a little bulky in hand during testing, with a larger handle than Ryobi drills and drivers and a weight of 4.7 pounds with an 18V 4Ah battery attached. However, the pistol grip still allowed me to maintain decent control. Plus, it has a good battery life and plenty of power, making this a great value for anyone on the hunt for a tire inflator.

Gonfleur de pneus sans fil Milwaukee M18 18 V
Photo : amazon.com
Spécifications du produit
- Taper: Alimenté par batterie
- PSI: 150
- Numéro de modèle : 2848-20
Ce que nous aimons
- Plenty of power for quickly filling up a truck tire from 25 to 35 PSI
- Pressure stabilization ensures that the tires actually reach their desired pressures
- Maximum pressure of 150 PSI provides plenty of pressure for almost any DIY task
Ce que nous n'aimons pas
- Louder than most other tire inflators
- Large in size and weight, making it more difficult to easily stash in a vehicle
If an upgraded tire inflator is in the cards, be sure to consider the Milwaukee M18 18V cordless tire inflator. This model uses the brand’s M18 18V batteries, so Milwaukee power tool users can rely on their supply of rechargeable batteries to inflate their tires. It has a large digital gauge that users can set to their desired pressure, allowing the tire inflator to do the rest of the work.
This tire inflator features TrueFill Technology. It shuts the tire inflator off when the tire reaches the desired pressure. However, it waits for the pressure in the tire to stabilize and then kicks back on if the pressure drops below the desired pressure upon stabilization. This ensures that the tires are inflated and working properly.
The M18 tire inflator features onboard storage for its hose, an inflation needle, an inflation nozzle, and the Presta valve adapter. It also has a maximum pressure of up to 150 PSI.
I didn’t think that pressure stabilization was a big deal before using this compressor, but now that I’ve seen it in action, it’s worth the upgrade. This tire inflator will cycle on and off several times until the pressure is on point. Also, the digital gauge was very easy to set, and it had plenty of power for quickly filling a tire from 25 to 35 PSI. However, it is important to dial it down when pumping up a bicycle tire as this inflator pumps a lot of air quickly.
In testing, I only had two complaints about the Milwaukee. First, it was the loudest of the inflators on this list. Second, it’s pretty large both in weight and size: 7 pounds without the battery and 7.8 inches tall by 13.8 inches wide by 6.4 inches deep. Note that this inflator is usually tool only, without a battery or charger unless otherwise noted.

Spécifications du produit
- Taper: 12V DC car plug-in
- PSI: 100
- Numéro de modèle : AIR100
Ce que nous aimons
- Rubber feet make this unit very quiet compared to the other inflators in the test
- Cool, compact design looks just like a miniature shop compressor; stores easily and takes up less space on a shelf

Ce que nous n'aimons pas

- Heats up during use (more than others); not ideal for extended use
Should a tire lose pressure in a mall parking lot or campsite, for example, there may not be power readily available for a compressor. Thi
