Can I use it to air up tires on my 5th wheel? My tires require 120 psi and my current air compressor takes a long time to just add 10 - 20 extra psi.

You absolutely can, but beware, this is the worst DeWalt Product ever made. It does lack power, for say driving finish nails, but for a tire, you're good.
1702496
Yes, you would just set it to =120. It can be used to operate other tools too, but it does go pretty fast.

I can only answer that it fills my trailer tires quickly but my tires are only 60 psi Hope this helps !

Do Not buy this particular dewalt compressor. Mine came broken and so did several others who purchased it. Get the next size up from this one.

Well, this one has a rather small reservoir also, so it will completely discharge itself into the tire in a few seconds, then slowly chug its way up to the 120 psi you require. However, that having been said, I find it does an adequate job airing up pretty much anything I have used it for. Have used it quite a bit over the last year and have had no problems. Remarkably easy to carry around and as long as you buy a good hose and pressure gauge, it should do the job. It won't be fast like a huge reservoir compressor, but it will get the job done.

You can use it for that since the upper limit is 120 PSI however as a one gallon compressor it too will take a while. On the UP side it is belt drive so won't be loud and should run cooler that the direct drive units out there.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

It would work but I wouldn't recommend it. This is more like a one tire emergency filler. It takes a long time to fill tires with this. I would recommend a real air compressor with a tank for your needs.

I tried my 3 gallon compressor with it and it had enough torque to brake off lugnuts on my wheels. It would need to recharge frequently though. Recommend a larger compressor. I use a 33 gallon compressor.

This little compressor really isn't made for anything that needs a lot of air due to its small tank. I have a hard time using it to top off the tires on my car. It will produce 90 lbs. but you will get frustrated waiting for tank to replenish with air. So long story short, don't expect this thing to fill your trailer tires up in a hurry.

I don't think it would work well to inflate a tire. You'd need an adapter for one thing, and I think the total pressure produced is probably too low. I'd recommend you buy a combination tire inflator/battery jumper and keep it in your car.

Yes but you will need a large enough air compressor. You can get it with a 2.5 gal tank but you will have to let it catch back up after each lug nut and at that point is just as fast with a tire iron. But if you have a good sized compressor it works great.

The compressor/tank is rated to 150 psi, so yes. I've only used it to inflate the tires on my motorhome to 90 psi, so I can't confirm that 120 is doable.

No, you hook this up to an air hose connected to an air compressor. It needs an air source to inflate tires.

Never used it for that but I have 35" tires and it only takes 3 min to go from 20PSI to 34PSI so it's very powerful. Maybe call the manufacturer.

The air hose has a standard quick release. You could connect any air operated device. The compressor does not have much of a storage tank so I don't think you would get a prolonged high pressure blast from it but it might work if you just need to blow something out quickly. You would be better off with a compressor with a large tank if you need lots of high pressure air for cleaning or running air tools. This compressor is really for inflating tires and does that extremely well.

I would answer yes, kind of. The compressor pumps up and shuts off at 150psi, so it goes up above the 125psi that you need. But, once you start filling the tires and the pressure in the compressor tank drops it doesn't turn back on until it gets down to 120psi (I'm going off memory here). So, it should work well at first, but once you get close to the 125psi level you may have to let a little air out of the pressure relief valve to get the compressor to turn back on to completely top off the tire to 125psi. This compressor is light and easy to tote around, but if you can't plug it into an extension cord while you're airing up the tires it's probably going to be a pain going back and forth to the house to plug it in and let it charge the tank over and over. If you just need to put a few psi in the tires every now and then it would probably be fine though. Another option would be to get one of the portable air tanks that would be much larger than the tiny tank in the this compressor. Use this compressor to top off the larger portable air tank and carry it out to the RV.

I doubt it, it's just a compressor for pumping air into tires. But I don't know for sure, I would try emailing the seller.

I've done it but it takes patience as the reserve tank is small so you have to wait for it to build more pressure. This compressor is designed for air nailers. If your buying it just to fill tires you will need a bigger tank.

Absolutely. That is the reason I bought this compressor, for my MH tires. I have a another compressor with a larger tank but it tops off at 100 lbs. The PC compressor works great for topping off tires but not so good for air tools. Tank is just too small and the compressor cycles too much. Plus this compressor is small enough to toss in your basement storage compartment to carry with you

This compressor is rated to 150psi. It will fill tires up to 37 inch tires. they usually have a maximum PSI of 120 pounds. This compressior has a continuos run time of 40 minutes straight and then you have to shut it down, to cool. so provided that your tires aren't completely flat, I see no problem with you filling up your RV TIRES.

I don't have this unit, but have a similar one and I tried it out connecting it to a 11 gallon air tank (which is about the same as a mini-van tire would be). It took 5 minutes to get it up to ~50 psi, so it wasn't as fast as the tire shop can fill it, but it's not that bad. I'd expect about the same performance from this.
