BLACK+DECKER Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, Air Pump for Inflatables, 3 Modes: Electric Outlet, 12V Car Adapter and Cordless 20V MAX, Battery Sold Separately (BDINF20C)

I did quite a bit of research before making this purchase. Since I already owned a battery operated Hedge Trimmer from B&D this was one I was considering among others. Based on other reviews, I decided to purchase this one because it can work from the B&D 20vdc battery pack I already owned, 12vdc lighter or 120 VAC. This gave me a lot of options to use this at home as well as on the road. This is a "no frills" inflator. No led light, no USB charging for phones, etc. It does however outshine others I had considered because it can also quickly inflate air mattresses or other inflatable items with the high volume setting and hose. Others have commented on its complicated nature. I read the directions once and was done. Worked perfect on all three power sources. I have tested it a few times to inflate some tires and an air mattress and it did a great job. The pressure gauge is accurate and it does as others have said, inflates to a little higher than the set pressure, but then settles down to the stated pressure or within 1/2 lb. Overall I am very happy with its operation. If I hadn't already owned the battery pack and charger, I probably would have gone with something else. I had considered the VIAIR 88P, a few models of AstroAI as well as GSPSCN and the EPAuto 12V DC Portable Air Compressor. Some things to consider as you shop around: Some compressors have a high amp draws and require a direct battery connection, (not very flexible for home use). Others have a cigarette lighter plug, but you still need to have the engine running. Some have their amp draw pushing the limits of many car cig plugs at 150-180 watts / @ 12.5 -15 amps. B&D does not publish the 12vdc amp draw, but I may test mine under load at 30psi and see where it comes in and publish it later.

Battery- pack was tricky, but I got it Inflator ran well when plugged into wall socket or cigarette lighter, but I especially wanted the rechargeable battery feature for remote use. Battery LBXR20 specified in Instructions matched my B & D drill’s 1.5 AH battery, but it would not power the Inflator. Battery pack slid readily into the slot rails, and made a “click”, but it needed to be hard- pressed downward again, so that it snapped flush into the housing, locked into place, and made proper contacts.

Drove 5 miles from home to add air to a low tire, at a cost of $2. I had a portable tire inflator years ago, which had one power source ( cigarette lighter in car). I was not about to try putting air in the tire using a bicycle pump: time to get a new inflator. I already have a number of B&D tools using 20 or 40 volt batteries, so this looked like a good choice. Price was ok. Tried it out, works fine. Difficult to wind up the cord with the car adapter power plug, so I’ll just leave it wrapped with a twist tie. I thought one of the accessory ends ( there should be 3) , was missing, but later found it in the packing box, so if you can’t find one check out the box before you use the inflator. Power plug too short, you’ll need an extension cord. edited August 2024: so had a low tire which I took to a gas station. They found a leak & fixed it with a plug. Tire ok. Checked all tires & used the inflator using fully charged battery. Today another tire was low, too out inflator but battery was low, so I used AC cord. Air comes out of the large ‘nozzle’ but could not use the tire attachment, nothing was lit up. Ended up using my bike hand pump. Disgusted now with inflator. Battery which I charged worked on leaf blower. Going to try the inflator again after I calm down later! Why can’t things work they way they are intended to?..

This is a fantastic item. So easy to keep in my car and use if I need to fill my tires. No need to wait in line at the gas station air pumps or go driving around the city with low tire pressure, only to get to the gas station and find out that their pumps are inevitably broken. It also has a setting to use with air mattresses, which fills them up fast! Everyone should get themselves one of these.

Este compresor ha servido mucho para mantener las llantas de nuestros vehículos con la presión indicada. Lo he probado con el tomacorriente del auto, de la casa y la batería (no está incluida, pero es la misma de 20V que usa casi toda la linea de BD). Ojo, la batería de 20V no dura tanto, posiblemente alcancen a llenar 6-8 llantas desde cero con una carga, pero es recomendable usar la conexión del auto o de la casa. El cable de corriente para la conexión de 120V no es muy largo, por lo que conviene usar extensión, pero el del tomacorriente del auto si alcanza perfectamente a llegar a las 4 ruedas de vehículos largos.

A 20v battery pack works well, charges air reasonably fast. Perfect for travel for me anyway. Also has 12v cord and hydro cord

Estuve muy indeciso de si invertir en una bomba que pudiera inflar colchones inflables o una para automóvil y en un fin de semana que fui de camping me lleve mi colchón y se me ponchó mi llanta. Esta bomba me salvó de quedar varado en la sierra y poder llegar a un taller y pude disfrutar mi fin de semana con mi colchón inflable. Además cuando viene gente a dormir en mi casa les pongo el colchón inflable en menos de 3 minutos cuando antes me tardaba más de 15 inflándolo con la bomba manual. Excelente producto.

This is an awesome little compressor. I wouldn’t say it works any better than most 12v compact compressors, but the fact that you can use 110-120v ac or 12v or 20v battery makes it awesome. Have a high pressure hose and a high volume hose makes this the most versatile little compressor. No more blowing up rafts at the car and carrying it to the beach. Just go right to the beach and blow your stuff up. Small and compact, looks like a little radio. Auto shut off for high pressure works great. It is not quit but is quieter most small compressors. Already love this little thing.

Just got this from Amazon and I am happy with it compact size. Everything in compartment so you can really take it anywhere. I got this based on review by others that it can use Dewalt 20V system and to my surprise it does not. It is sad but I don’t have too many use case to use it away from a car or a wall plug so I am satisfied with the disappointment. Please do note only BD batteries can be used on this regardless of they are owned by the same company
