Makita 18V LXT Cordless Inflator DMP180Z — Blue/Silver, Digital Gauge & Auto-Stop (Tool Only)

Makita DMP180Z is a compact 18V LXT cordless inflator that delivers quick, accurate inflation for vehicle tyres, sports balls and inflatables — batteries and charger sold separately.

This compact, battery-powered inflator combines a digital pressure gauge, backlit display and an auto-stop function to make topping up tyres and inflatables fast and repeatable. Designed for stability and portability, the DMP180Z stores multiple valve adapters onboard, includes an LED job light for low-light work and features a memory function so you can preset target pressures. It’s a tool intended for DIYers, car owners and anyone who needs reliable inflation away from mains power.

How accurate and easy to read is the pressure display?

The DMP180Z uses a digital pressure gauge with a backlight for clear readings in daylight or dim conditions. Readouts are immediate and the unit remembers your last setting to speed repeat inflations.

• Digital gauge with backlight for visibility
• Memory function stores previous target pressure
• Quick numerical readout reduces guesswork

What safety and convenience features does it include?

Makita equipped this inflator with an auto-stop function to prevent over-inflation and an auto-off main switch to avoid accidental starts during transport. A built-in LED light helps you work in low-light situations and stable base design keeps the unit steady while inflating.

• Auto-stop stops inflation when target pressure is reached
• Main switch auto-off prevents accidental startup in transit
• LED job light illuminates valve areas for easier connection
• Stable base minimizes tipping during use

Which tyres and inflatables can this model handle?

The inflator is suitable for car and motorcycle tyres, bicycles, sports balls and a wide range of leisure inflatables. It reaches a maximum pressure of 830 kPa, covering common automotive and recreational pressure needs, though extremely high-pressure specialist tyres may require a dedicated pump.

• Suitable for cycle and vehicle tyres
• Works with sports balls and inflatable leisure equipment
• Maximum pressure up to 830 kPa
• Includes onboard storage for multiple valve adapters

What should I know about battery compatibility and portability?

The DMP180Z runs on Makita 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) and is not compatible with G-Series batteries. Without a cord it’s easy to use roadside, at the track or in the garage, and the compact footprint helps with storage and transport.

• Powered by Makita 18V LXT batteries (battery & charger not included)
• Not compatible with Makita G-Series batteries
• Compact, cordless design for mobile use
• Onboard adapter storage keeps accessories handy
