Until Milwaukee’s new M18 Fuel cordless air compressor hits the market, which should be any day now, Dewalt’s leads the pack in features and performance. And even with the fresh competition, the Dewalt FlexVolt air compressor will still lead in regard to air capacity, thanks to its 2.5 gallon tank.
This compressor is fantastic – it’s compact, easily portable, and delivers all the pressure and runtime you need for smaller nailing jobs and tasks.
With this deal, you’re essentially spending an extra $20 to get that second FlexVolt battery, a good deal if you could use it.
There are other air compressor deals of the day, today only.

I’m waiting for the Milwaukee. Hopefully it’s quieter and built better than this dewalt.
I bought and sold the Dewalt. It is an interesting design with the simplified control knob and capacity being it’s pro’s.
The problem is it weighs a lot for its size, louder than most corded pancakes in this size, and the build quality is sub par. My unit in particular had so many weld spatters covered in paint I questioned if the paint is what they were using to keep the welds intact.

You might be disappointed with the M18 then, it is 50% heavier than the DeWalt at around 31 pounds, compared to DeWalt’s 21 pounds. Also has 20% less capacity. And still costs $30 more than this bonus kit deal as a bare tool.
It will be quieter though, for sure. But honestly, I just used my DeWalt this weekend and I didn’t even have to turn up my radio during use. Admittedly my use is infrequent, so the Milwaukee’s price tag and weight are just not worth it for me. I also got my DeWalt kit for $179 (on sale for $199, plus a $20 off $100+ coupon), so I can’t complain about anything on it.
Chris
I may be, we’ll see.
I should’ve clarified the weight issue. It’s not necessarily the weight itself but how it is carried. The rounded body and central handle caused it to be more of a knee banger that can also cause strain on the back and arms when you hold it further out from the body (I have back problems, so this is noticeable in my instance). The Milwaukee has more of a suitcase profile and should allow me to carry it closer to the hip. Capacity isn’t as much of an issue as these are for portable jobs more than anything, I have bigger compressors for jobs that might need it.
Price is subjective and i’m sure deals will come along…they always do with Milwaukee.
I also paid sub $200 for my kit and ended up selling it for around $230, so not a bad deal for a trial run.
One thing I didn’t mention was that i’m not a fan of the battery.
Dewalt hasn’t really expanded the 60V class much since launch and I don’t know what the longevity will be like for the series down the road, so I decided to not continue with that particular platform.
Corey Moore
Saying the 60v hasn’t expanded much since launch is simply not true, if you don’t want DeWalt just say so. Vague inaccurate statements to justify personal preference are unnecessary.
Chris
Don’t break your leg falling off that high horse…
This is Dewalts current lineup per their website.
https://www.dewalt.com/products/power-tools/shop-by-cordless-platform/60v-120v?pageNum=1&Facet1=
Plus anything else I could find (Dewalt fails to list all their own tools on that less than stellar website).
If we only count tools:
4 x rotary hammers of varying sizes.
2 x grinders.
2 x hole hogs (A second one because the 1st one is a poor design, hence the later Milwaukee look alike).
1 x dust extractor.
1 x track saw.
1 x chainsaw.
1 x weed eater.
2 x leaf blowers(The snail blower was a dud for “60V” so they introduced a better one to actually compete).
2 x circular saws.
1 x reciprocating saw.
2 x miter saws.
1 x table saw.
1 x pipe threader.
1 x cutoff saw.
1 x mixer.
1 x Air Compressor.
Total = 24 over the course of at least 4 years I believe (not very inspiring).
Now before you get up, know that I do have Dewalt tools (they make an excellent romex stapler and we have 3 of them…f*@% hammers 🙂
I also have their saw stands for my 2 miter saws (One is the M18 7-1/4″ and the other is a delta cruzer corded miter saw). Milwaukee’s stand is stupid expensive and offers no noticeable advantages.
My tool collection is vast and varied with representatives from all brands. I don’t discriminate against a brand based on the color or name, I only want they’re best offerings.
That being said…I had the same complaint about Dewalts 40V lineup. Dead…
They’re 20V stick lithium. Dead…in less than a year!?!
Dewalt recently came out with “power detect” tools that can compete with they’re own flexvolt and outperform most of the M18 equivalent stuff as well.
I won’t say that 60V is Dead, but based on they’re track record…I’ll say TBD.
Now go dust yourself off before you stick your foot in your mouth again trying to insult me.
Big Richard
I won’t say you are wrong, nor will I say you are correct. FlexVolt is coming along just fine imo. They are already on Gen II of a few tools, some of which you mentioned, some you missed (recip saw, grinder, circ saw, stud/joist drill, mixer/drill, and blower). And I think the potential for growth and expansion is so much higher compared to other brands, like Bosch Core or M18 HO. The aforementioned systems have far less offerings than FlexVolt, it doesn’t make any of them bad.
40v is a completely different story as that was dedicated OPE with no cross compatibility. Similar to Milwaukee’s MX Fuel, which may or may not take off itself.
And Power Detect does NOT compete with FlexVolt. Power Detect is simply the next gen 20V XR. The power Detect tools are great, but they still don’t even have the power of the Gen I FlexVolt tools.
I for one am hopeful it will continue to grow, along with M18 HO, Bosch Core, Metabo HPT MultiVolt, Makita LXT X2, Makita XTG, etc.. One brand innovating causes other to innovate, benefiting all.
Corey Moore
I will say I’m impressed by your response, may have misjudged your opinions of DeWalt, but holy judgmental projections, Batman. Not sure where you picked up an insult in that, but you sure fired a few back. The point is that flexvolt is a complementary system that has been rolling out plenty fine as intended, just like Milwaukee’s hdho stuff isn’t eclipsing their regular fuel stuff. Hope you patted yourself on the back enough up there, I’d hate for you to walk around the real world thinking everyone’s randomly insulting you.
Mike
Heard the Milwaukee is quieter but it takes a lot longer to fill it’s tank it’s got less capacity its heavier larger footprint
andy
Same time, same capacity, larger footprint, heavier
kevin l
i for one am very pleased with my DeWalt. this seems like a good deal.
Bob
I like my DeWalt. I thought it was rather quiet. But I suppose my other small compressors are quiet old at this point. So Im used to the noise? Noise didn’t used to be a concern back in the day. Build quality and longevity were hence they still work.
As to the Milwaukee being quieter. How many DB quieter? I won’t say that Milwaukee lies with their specs but they get “creative” on how they intrepret some of them. I will be intetested to see some real would user reviews side by side. If its legit quieter perhapse they slowed the motor down to get the noise down? Could explain why it fills slower. Longevity wise a slower moving compressor lasts longer so as long as it keeps up with your demand thats a good thing.
Looking forward to the side by side youtube comparisons if they are already not out there.
