The Ultimate Portable Powerhouse: Reviewing the DEWALT 20V MAX Corded/Cordless Air Inflator (DCC020IB)
Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer, or a professional tradesperson, maintaining the correct pressure in your tires, tools, and toys is critical. The DEWALT DCC020IB 20V MAX Inflator steps up as the most versatile solution on the market, offering reliable, high-performance air delivery wherever you need it.
Unmatched Versatility: Your 3-in-1 Power Solution
What sets the DCC020IB apart from simple tire pumps is its unique ability to run on three separate power sources, ensuring you are never left with a flat:
- Cordless Freedom (20V MAX Battery): Use any of your existing DEWALT 20V MAX batteries (sold separately) for complete portability. Perfect for inflating remote equipment or for quick, emergency roadside use.
- Roadside Reliability (12V DC): Use the included 13.75-foot power cord to plug directly into your vehicle's 12V DC outlet (cigarette lighter) for guaranteed power on the road.
- Shop Power (110V AC): Connect via an optional 110V AC adapter (sold separately) to plug into a standard wall outlet when working in your garage or shop.
Dual-Mode Performance: High Pressure and High Volume
The DCC020IB is a true dual-function tool, built to handle both small, high-pressure items and large, high-volume inflatables:
- High-Pressure Mode (Up to 160 PSI): Easily tackles demanding tasks like car, light truck, motorcycle, and bicycle tires. It delivers quick, accurate air for essential vehicle maintenance.
- High-Volume Mode (15.2 SCFM): Designed for maximum air flow, this mode is ideal for rapidly inflating items like air mattresses, pool floats, rafts, and other large recreational equipment. Even better, it includes a dedicated port for quick deflation to make packing up simple.
Precision, Safety, and Convenience Built-In
DEWALT built this inflator with user experience and accuracy in mind:
- Set It and Forget It: The bright digital gauge allows you to set your target pressure (3–160 PSI) with precision. The automatic shutoff feature ensures the inflator stops exactly when that pressure is reached, preventing over-inflation and freeing you up for other tasks.
- Ready for Anything: The tool comes with a high-pressure rubber hose featuring a secure, leak-free threaded chuck. Plus, all essential accessories—the high-volume nozzle, sports ball needle, and Presta valve adapter—store directly onboard the unit, so they're always accessible.
- Visibility: An integrated LED worklight provides crucial illumination, making nighttime or low-light roadside emergencies safer and easier to manage.
Weighing just 5.5 lbs (without battery) and featuring durable construction with heavy-duty rubber feet, the DEWALT DCC020IB is arguably the most versatile and essential air tool you can add to your collection.
Note: The DCC020IB is sold as a bare tool, meaning the battery, charger, and 110V AC adapter are sold separately.
