Pleasant surprise with the compressor, it pumped up two flat as a pancake dumper tyres in a third of the time my Twin pot Tmax can. Also did two dumper tyres on one bar of a 4ah fakita battery, that then somehow sprung back to full charge.
Took the two batteries out there but I think one battery would actually do all four from flat.
This gets a big thumbs up, getting to the battery on some of this kit is a pain.

That's an understatement although it's simpler than a Chinese micro digger I saw recently (well has a cab but probably only a tonne machine sort of size). Got to take the pedals out and seat to gain access to it.This gets a big thumbs up, getting to the battery on some of this kit is a pain.
The owner will be modifying the floor pan to make it easier to get access to.
just searched high and low looking for a millwalkee compatible compressor like that, don't want to buy into another battery type just for a compressor
if anyone else see's one let me know please :-)
p.s. watch out for postage on aliexpress... saw some cheap fakita ones on there but post was insane :-o

Just in case Milwaukee to Makita is difficult, the machine appears to be made to suit DeWalt and Bosch batteries as well:

Many years ago a trade plate driver working for me resigned on a Friday, no problem says the control team, pop your plates and fuel card in the post… Saturday morning he goes into a garage with a 7.5t flatbed loaded with empty 45 gal drums and proceeds to fill the lot on our fuel card - I’ve seen the CCTV footage. I asked the garage why the let him and got told his card was good so why not? Police weren’t interested, from memory it cost us £3500.

I was meaning an equivalent of the cordless ones really, I tried a Stihl one recently and it was a bit gutless but for some reason I still want one.

Great timing, thanks @8ob !Pleasant surprise with the compressor, it pumped up two flat as a pancake dumper tyres in a third of the time my Twin pot Tmax can. Also did two dumper tyres on one bar of a 4ah fakita battery, that then somehow sprung back to full charge.

Tonight I went out to sort the car tyres with the Makita MP001 air pump. It was £100 which I considered fairly expensive for a brushed motor tool.
Press the power button, screen lights up then fades and flickering, as if condesation has got to the screen and electrics. It did not fire up. Not good - this has not been near any water! It's been living in the shed with all the other battery tools and lathe etc..
Stuck it behind dehumidifier for a couple hours and its back in working condition.
I'll order one of these and see if I can return the Makita.
