If you want a Milwaukee 18 volt air compressor, the options that run on your existing M18 packs fall into two camps. The genuine Milwaukee product here is the M18 FUEL 2 gallon compact quiet compressor, a tank compressor built for nailers and pneumatic tools. The rest are third-party tire inflators made by other brands that accept Milwaukee 18V batteries. They are not Milwaukee products, and Milwaukee does not stand behind them, but they let you reuse the batteries you already own.
This guide covers four options: three compatible inflators from DIYtoolifz, LIVOWALNY and MaxMore, and one listing for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL compressor sold with a third-party cart. That last one is a reseller bundle rather than a standard Milwaukee listing, and its title and data are sparse, so check the seller carefully before buying. All four are sold as tool only, with no battery included. We compared listings and specs rather than inflating tires ourselves.

Best for
Car owners wanting a fast 160 PSI pump
Pros
- 160 PSI max, auto shut-off
- Metal cylinder and gears
- Runs up to 20 minutes
Cons
- Third-party, not Milwaukee
- Listing gives 40 and 30 L/min
The DIYtoolifz 160PSI Cordless Tire Inflator Compatible with Milwaukee 18V batteries is a third-party inflator from DIYtoolifz. It uses a 25mm cylinder with metal construction and gears, and the listing says it can run up to 20 minutes nonstop, reach 160 PSI and fill a 195/65/R15 tire in about 3 minutes.
You set a target pressure and it shuts off automatically, with a listed accuracy of plus or minus 0.5 PSI. The LCD shows current and target pressure, a low battery alert and presets for car, motorcycle, bicycle and basketball, and it switches between PSI, Bar, kPa and Kg/cm². A built-in flashlight has normal, SOS and hazard modes, and four nozzles are included. The listing gives 58 dB and a weight of 1.04 kg. Airflow is inconsistent: the features say 40 L/min, while one spec line says 30 L/min.
This cordless tire inflator suits car owners who want a sturdier pump for repeated use, such as topping off all four tires plus a trailer. If you want something smaller to live in a door pocket, the LIVOWALNY unit is lighter.
- 160 PSI max with auto shut-off
- 25mm metal cylinder, up to 20 minutes runtime
- Presets and four pressure units
- Flashlight with SOS and hazard modes

The Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor Compatible With Milwaukee 18V Battery from LIVOWALNY is the compact option. It weighs 0.71 kg and measures 7 by 3 by 8 inches, small enough for a glovebox, cup holder or bike mount. The hose is integrated, so there is nothing extra to keep track of.
A 21mm metal cylinder delivers 28 L/min of airflow and up to 150 PSI, and LIVOWALNY says it fills a 195/65/R15 tire in about 4 minutes. The HD LCD lists a pressure error of 1 percent or less, with five presets or custom values from 3 to 150 PSI and auto shut-off at the target. Five nozzles are included. The light has steady white, red warning and flashing SOS modes. It is rated at 100 watts and 60 dB. Helpfully, the listing names compatible battery model numbers such as 48-11-1820, 48-11-1850 and 48-11-1860. One feature line also mentions a different tool brand, which looks like a copy error, so rely on the title and battery list for compatibility.
This Milwaukee 18V tire pump alternative suits commuters and cyclists who want quick top-ups. It is slower than the DIYtoolifz unit for full tire fills.
- 150 PSI max, 28 L/min
- Compact 0.71 kg body
- Integrated hose and five nozzles
- Lists compatible battery model numbers

The v For Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2 Gallon Compact Quiet Compressor listing bundles the Milwaukee M18 FUEL compressor as a bare tool with a TPT Premium cart. This is the only true Milwaukee tool in this roundup, but the listing is a reseller bundle, with an unusual title and very little detail.
What it does give: a 2-gallon tank, a noise level of 68 dB, described as the quietest cordless compressor available, and a claim of up to 1600 nails per charge. It is aimed at nailing and powering pneumatic tools in light to medium duty work. The listing does not specify maximum PSI, CFM output, weight or which battery sizes are recommended, and it does not describe the TPT cart beyond naming it.
This M18 FUEL compressor suits trim carpenters and DIYers running brad or finish nailers who already own M18 batteries. Because it is a bundle from a reseller, confirm the seller’s reputation, return policy and warranty coverage before ordering. For tire inflation alone, one of the smaller inflators is simpler and lighter. For more on Milwaukee’s own inflation tools, see our Milwaukee cordless air inflator guide.
- 2-gallon tank
- Listed at 68 dB
- Up to 1600 nails per charge
- Bundled with a TPT Premium cart

Best for
Tires plus air mattresses and pool toys
Pros
- Inflates and deflates
- 400 L/min high-volume mode
- 5-year warranty
Cons
- Loudest inflator at 70 dB
- Third-party, not Milwaukee
The Portable Tire Inflator deflator Compatible with Milwaukee 18V Battery from MaxMore does double duty. Dual motors give it a high-pressure mode up to 160 PSI for tires and a high-volume mode rated at 400 L/min for inflating and deflating air mattresses, pool toys, balloons and storage bags.
MaxMore says it takes a tire from 0 to 35 PSI in 2 minutes. It has a large LCD with auto shut-off, an LED light and a built-in storage box for accessories. The package includes a raft nozzle, valve adapter, sports needle, air hose, three large-volume nozzles and a manual, plus a 5-year warranty from MaxMore. It measures 11.02 by 5.9 by 7.87 inches with a 13.7-inch hose and is the loudest here at 70 dB. The spec sheet lists 20 volts, which reflects how 18V packs are sometimes marketed; the title says Milwaukee 18V.
This battery air compressor suits campers and families who inflate more than just tires. It is bulkier than the LIVOWALNY, so it is less of a glovebox tool.
- 160 PSI and 400 L/min modes
- Inflates and deflates
- Built-in accessory storage
- 5-year MaxMore warranty

NOTES
Buying Tips for Milwaukee 18V Compatible Compressors
Know what you are buying. Only the M18 FUEL bundle is a Milwaukee tool. The inflators are third-party products that fit Milwaukee batteries, so warranty and support come from their makers, not from Milwaukee. That is not automatically a problem, but set expectations accordingly.
Match the tool to the job. Inflators are built for tires, bikes and balls. A tank compressor like the M18 FUEL is built to power nailers and other air tools. If you only need tire pressure, an inflator is lighter and far easier to carry. Compare with plug-in options too, such as a 12V car tire inflator, if you do not want to tie up a battery.
Check battery fit and seller. Third-party battery adapters can vary, so look for listings that name specific battery model numbers. For the reseller bundle, check the seller’s history before ordering.
