Makita DMP181Z – 18V LXT Cordless Inflator, 11.1 bar, Tool Only

The Makita DMP181Z cordless compressor is a compact and portable 18V unit, capable of generating up to 11.1 bar (161 psi) with an air flow rate of up to 22 L/min — ideal for inflating car/bike tires, balls, air mattresses, or for light pneumatic applications. Body-only version, perfect if you already own Makita batteries.

The Makita DMP181Z cordless compressor utilizes the 18V LXT platform to deliver compressed air anywhere without cables or power outlets — great for mobile workshops, camping, construction sites, or home use. With a maximum pressure of 11.1 bar (161 psi) and an air flow rate of up to 22 L/min, it can quickly inflate car, motorcycle, and bicycle tires, agricultural tires, sports balls, air mattresses, and various inflatables.

The compressor features a digital display — showing both current and target pressure — and an auto-stop function: it automatically stops when the set pressure is reached, preventing over-inflation.

Furthermore, the machine remembers the last set pressure, making it easier and faster to repeat similar operations.

The kit includes various valve adapters (car, bicycle, balls, inflatables) and a 0.65 m flexible hose, for good versatility of use.

The body is designed with an anti-vibration base and an ergonomic soft-grip handle, ensuring stability and comfort even during portable use.

The “body-only” version is ideal if you already own Makita LXT batteries, allowing you to add a compressor to your tool fleet without having to purchase duplicate batteries and chargers.
