Any thoughts on this, maybe an excuse to extend my range of tools powered by my Makita battery and ahem belend in with the others....

It’s 12v CXT not the 18v LXT most of their battery tools are.

Plus little compressors like this aren’t much good for tubeless bike tyres - fine for topping up but won’t give a big burst of pressure to seat like a proper tank-type compressor will.

Good news. Makita are so annoying constantly coming out with new tools that I 'need'. Thankfully, I'm 18v 😅

Shame they don’t do an 18 v lxt model of this. Would be useful if you’ve got batteries already.

Useful to charge your DIY/ghetto accumulator?

Makita need to do a 18v power washer too. Now that would be handy.

Hells yeah they do. I'd be all over a Worx style pressure washer on 18v batteries. Amazed they don't to be honest.

eeeeevvvvvvveeeeeennnnnnnttttttuuuuuuuaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyy.

ryobi do one with an air tank.

They do a very good job of hiding the air delivery on those...... hard to find a way of bragging about 0.5 CFM  though lol

😀 that's my point, for those who might assume this is useful for inflating tubeless

(Re Ryobi)

What throughput do you need if you have a 120 psi, 1 gallon tank? OK so it takes a couple of minutes to charge it up but then you're gold.

Also, while I had the calculator open, 10 l/min = 0.5 cu ft/min, so they're both as bad as each other, only one already has the tank...
