Our verdict
The right inflator for DeWalt 20V owners who want one tool for tires and inflatables. It is less proven on speed than the Milwaukee, but the power options make it very hard to get stuck.

Pros

  • Runs on battery, 12V DC or 110V AC
  • 160 psi rating
  • High-volume mode for rafts and mattresses
  • 3-year warranty and shared battery platform

Cons

  • Battery, charger and AC adapter not included
  • Tall 6Ah batteries can cause feet to chatter
  • Road & Track saw one low-power shutdown on a truck 12V port
  • No measured fill times found

What to know about DEWALT DCC020IB

A tri-power inflator that runs on a 20V MAX battery, 12V DC or 110V AC, rated to 160 psi, with high-pressure and high-volume modes and onboard accessory storage. It is Bob Vila's best overall pick, Reviewed's best air compressor, and was Consumer Reports' favorite cordless inflator in its 2021 test. Great for DeWalt battery owners who want one unit for tires and inflatables.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Flexibility is the draw. You can run it from a 20V MAX battery, the car's 12V outlet or a wall outlet, so one unit handles roadside use, the garage and air mattresses. It is Bob Vila's best overall pick and Reviewed's best air compressor, and it was Consumer Reports' favorite cordless inflator in a 2021 test.

Road & Track's September 2026 test lists a 20V MAX Tire Inflator and calls it more capable than most compact emergency inflators. Onboard accessory storage and an LED light help in everyday use.
