Brilliant – now a five minute job to check all the tyres monthly. By keeping the same recommended tyre pressure in each wheel the wear and tear on each tyre is the same
Excellent so easy now
Excellent cordless car tyre inflato
If you have Makita tools that use the 18V Li-ion Makita batteries already, then this is an absolute no-brainer. It’s annoying it doesn’t come with an appropriate carry case as standard, but in terms of its robustness, ease of use and speed with which it pumps up car tyres, it’s phenomenal.
Space saving and inflates really well.
Best bit of kit I’ve bought. Works really well better than the cigarette lighter one, no wires in the way and pumps the tires up quickly, worth the extra money.
I already have a number of Makita 18v batteries and chargers, so when I needed a portable tyre inflator, buying this was the obvious choice. This is a bare tool, with no batteries or charger.
As with all Makita tools (I have loads), it’s a great piece of kit, well made and I’m sure from experience will last me a long time. I’ve yet to have to claim on anything I’ve bought from them and I’ve been using their tools (both as a professional plumber and at home) for at least 20 years.
If you’re buying one, make sure to go onto the Makita UK website within 30 days and you can get their three year warranty, free of charge. All you’ll need to do is register your account, put in the necessary details of the tool and upload your invoice to their site.
There’s a few comments about the pressure gauge not being particularly accurate, but personally I use a stand alone gauge to check everything, so this isn’t something I’m bothered about. I just wanted it to save my old knees from my foot pump.
To sum up, I have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Just beware that when you get a few batteries, there’s a whole world of other tempting bits of kit available that your wife, er, oops, sorry, you… never knew you needed…!
I hope this is helpful to you.
First Impressions:
I picked up the Makita DMP180Z 18V Li-ion LXT air compressor for various tasks, and it’s been a great tool. The compact size and cordless design make it super convenient for inflating tires, sports equipment, and even air mattresses. Plus, the 18V Li-ion battery ensures reliable power without being tethered to a power outlet.
Design and Build Quality:
The Makita DMP180Z is built with the usual Makita quality—it feels solid and durable. It has a comfortable grip, and the design is lightweight, making it easy to handle for longer periods. The battery lasts a decent amount of time and recharges quickly, which is a huge plus when you’re on the go.
Ease of Use:
The air compressor is super easy to use. Just attach the nozzle, set your desired pressure, and press the trigger. It’s as simple as that. The LED light is useful for working in low-light conditions, and the auto shut-off feature ensures you don’t overinflate anything.
Performance:
This tool performs excellently. It inflates tires and other items quickly and efficiently. The maximum pressure of 150 PSI is more than enough for everyday tasks. The dual-function (for both high-pressure and low-pressure applications) means it can handle a variety of inflatables, and it’s never left me disappointed.
Value for Money:
For a cordless air compressor, this is good value. It’s affordable, yet powerful and reliable enough for most tasks around the house, garage, or on the road. The Makita reputation for quality tools makes it a safe bet, and the battery compatibility with other Makita LXT tools adds extra value.
Pros:
Compact and portable—ideal for on-the-go use
Cordless design for ease of movement
Quick inflation and dual-function nozzle for various tasks
Long-lasting Li-ion battery with fast recharge
Auto shut-off feature for convenience
Cons:
Not the most powerful option for heavy-duty use, but great for everyday tasks
Battery and charger sold separately—so check compatibility if you don’t already have Makita tools
Final Thoughts:
The Makita DMP180Z 18V Li-ion LXT is a compact, reliable tool for anyone needing an air compressor for light to medium tasks. It’s perfect for inflating tires, sports gear, and more. Highly recommended if you’re already using Makita tools or want a portable, efficient compressor.
Rating:
(4/5 stars) — Compact, powerful, and perfect for everyday use!
Buena maquina pero
es una buena maquina que viene sin batera, otros 50 que tienes que gastarte, para inflar la rueda de un coche de 18″ te tiras un rato y mas vale que no te pille una rueda pinchada en medio de una emboscada de noche en mitad de ucrania.. porque pillar te pillan, el condenado hace ruido hasta cuando esta parado el motor. pero hace lo que toca y es potente, no tiene mucho caudal de aire, pero el motor es potente y ruidoso, como la moto del telepizza del barrio, que el tio va sin escape
After having some quite worrying electric issues with another named brand car tire inflator I decided to give this Makita Cordless Inflator a go. Considering I already own a range of Makita products and batteries to fit it seemed a no brainer.
The pump itself held up to all expectations. Managing with tyres from Ride-on Mowers to cars and even vans.
I like that it has an auto-stop function however you have to hold the trigger down constantly when inflating which I can’t help but think a toggle option may have been beneficial.
I now have two of these, one that is permanently in my car and the other which is in my partners.
Yes there is no option to use a 12v port from the car, we periodically keep an eye on the batteries charge level and top up if required.
Very accurate piece of ki
Tried a couple of garage forcourte s tyre inflators,none of them could match it,had a low pressure tye warning on dash,this was the only inflator that gave accurate readings and sorted it.!!!
really Good
They are critised for having to keep the trigger on. I just don’t know why that’s a big deal,to keep on top of your tyre pressures. Transits have a high tyre pressure it can handle it. It’s cheap, well made, no brainier buy i
Ok produc
Purchased to replace another well known make which had repeatedly broke down.
Onecreally good feature is once you’ve set the pressure it stays the same so you van turn it off and then turn it back on and the setting is the same.
good value
Good value for a makita 18v – easy to use (shame no carry bag with it though). Doesn’t use much battery power and is very effective. Won’t be the cheapest of the similar items out there but hopefully is as robust as most makita 18v tools
Small and handy
Saves the faff with wires and long hoses which are always tangled if you have makita lxt items this is a no brainer just make sure that the tyre clamp only sits lightly on the end of the tyre valve before you clamp it otherwise air escapes when you remove the line
Makes life easie
Great for topping up tyres. My BMW tells me to check tyre pressures every couple of weeks; It has a slow leak at the front right and a very over-enthusiastic and fastidious vehicle monitoring computer with tyre sensors. This makes it so easy to check, re-inflate and go. I’ve got several Makita tools so there is always a battery around and I usually take the pump in the car with me if I’m going on a journey. Its one of those tools that does exactly what its supposed to and does it well.
BON gonfleur mais ...
Bon gonfleur pas trop bruyant , pour qui possde dj des batteries Makita LXT 18V et chargeur bien sur , ce qui est mon cas .
Essai ds rception avec batterie charge de 4A , mise en marche sur le cot , affichage sur fond bleu du mode d’unit de mesure choisir , rglage sur bar et rglage de la pression voulue : 1,6 bar .
Appui maintenu sur la gchette , le compresseur fonctionne et s’arrte la consigne ( 1,6 bar ) .
Arrt en rappuyant sur le bouton marche .
Quelques inconvnients toutefois :
Pas de bouton de dgonflage contrairement un mano classique ( gauche sur la photo 1 ) .
Embout/connecteur de valve levier moins pratique qu’un embout guillotine ( photo 2 ) .
Pression suprieure la consigne de 0,05 bar , vrifi au contrleur de pression fiable Schrader ( photo 3 ) , sans doute pour compenser la fuite d’air occasionne par le retrait du connecteur levier .
Sinon pratique pour sa mobilit , par exemple gonfler la vessie d’un vase d’expansion sur le chauffe-eau la bonne pression , auto , moto , vlo , ballon , etc ….
Le connecteur serti sur le tuyau d’air est changeable en coupant le tuyau au ras , mettre un connecteur rapide droit ( env 3 euros sur amazon ) entre cannel 6 mm et un collier sertir ou serflex pour tuyau 10 mm .
Flat tyres, Makita to the rescue
This inexpensive battery pump is absolutely amazing, it’s got me out of so many sticky situations. Car tyres, wheelbarrow tyre and even neighbours children’s football and with a built in pressure regulator. Easy to use too.
Wanted a cordless tyre pump…I have loads of Makita lxt batteries so no fear of unknown make batteries giving up the ghost rendering cheapo pumps useless..very pleased with it so far..just use a bit of velcro gardening tape if you don’t want to hold the trigger on..simples

Great value for money, if you already have a makita battery and you need an air pump then look no further.
Used on car tyres and bicycles, works effortlessly and in seconds…..a little noisy but that’s to be expected, overall a brilliant bit of ki
The usual Makita quality
Absolutely cracking bit of kit for the price. It does what you’d expect, it doesn’t drain the battery much when topping up a tyre. I’m yet to use it to put more than 3-4 psi into a tyre, however, it is quick and easy. The digital display is good too.
Great bit of ki
It works very well on my cars and my bike. Quickly reaches correct preset pressure. We often don’t check tyre pressures because it’s a hassle going to the service station and finding one that has a pump working. This bit of kit makes the job easy and convenient. If you already have Makita tools then you already have the battery and it is definitely worth having, to add to your Makita tool collection.
I bought one of these Makita inflators as the cheap (other make) one I had before was playing up and I have other Makita power tools using the same batteries as this so I’m never without a charged battery. This has an on/off switch and also switches to adjust between bar and psi. I have pumped up all four tyres on a car with this one after the other which my previous cheap inflator would not have managed. It didn’t use much battery and didn’t seem to get hot although you are supposed to give it breaks to prevent overheating. Remember to register all Makita powertools within 30 days or you’ll lose the warranty. I’m happy with this purchase and use it often.
Great Makita quality
Only CONS I found
LCD is small and can be difficult to read the pressure type (PSI, BAR etc) But once you know them it is simple and the pressure itself is very readable.
You cannot lock the pump ON. You have to keep the trigger pressed, even though it has an automatic cut off when the correct pressure is reached.
Going to the garage is a bit of a faff right ?
And then the 12v inflators you plug in are super noisy and take ages. Plus the wire is annoying as you have to thread it through the car window or door
So this is perfect because there are no wires, it’s way less noisy and you don’t have to go the garage. It could not be easier to use and the build quality is spot on
The only downside is it costs more than those things
But if, like me, you have a slight addiction to makita tools and have emotionally and financially committed to their battery system, then this is an absolute BARG
