Milwaukee Introduces Cordless Tire Inflator That Tops Off A Car In Less Than 1 Minute

Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver portable productivity by expanding the largest sub-compact system in the industry, the M12 platform, with the new M12 Compact Inflator. The tool has the ability to top-off a car tire in under 1 minute. Capable of completing demanding inflation applications such as car, LT truck, and compact equipment tires, the new inflator delivers fast, accurate, easy inflation with the portability to take anywhere.

“The variety of cordless tire inflators available today have, unfortunately, failed to deliver both the speed and range of capability required by users. These inflators are able to fill passenger tires, but are unable to efficiently tackle more demanding applications,” said Tom Simeone, VP of product management for Milwaukee Tool. “Our industry-leading cordless technology allows the M12 Compact Inflator to complete a wide range of applications from light truck tires (65-80 PSI) to compact equipment (10-80 PSI). As part of the M12 system, this tool also has the advantage of being completely compatible with the wide range of sub-compact tools available on this platform.”

Rated to deliver over 120 PSI and built with a high efficiency motor and pump, the M12 Compact Inflator delivers up to 5X the speed of fill on car and light truck tires, and can fill a light truck tire from flat to full on a single battery. The REDLINK Intelligence with TrueFill Auto Shut-Off Technology delivers highly accurate pressure, protects from overfill and overtemp, and automatically senses speed of fill to shut off at the desired PSI. Additionally, a back-lit LCD screen illuminates the digital gauge so users can more easily check the target and current pressure reading.

Weighing just over 3 pounds, the M12 Compact Inflator is designed with an integrated handle so it can be transported nearly anywhere. A reinforced cage protects it from drops and impact, as well as inclement weather. The backside of the unit features a place to easily store the 26” hose and attachments, including a ball inflation needle, inflatable nozzle, and presta chuck.

The M12 Compact Inflator’s all-brass chuck creates an easy and reliable connection to tires, preventing leaks. To counter shifting and movement during the filling process, the unit is built with an anti-vibration stand that keeps it in place throughout the duration.

Available April 2018, the new M12 Compact Inflator joins the largest sub-compact system in the industry, the M12 platform, now offering more than 90 professional cordless solutions focused on power, productivity, and portability.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
