Milwaukee M18 inflator for filling 33s after off roading?

Wondering if anybody has used the new Milwaukee M18 inflator for filling larger 4x4 tires?

I've got a random amazon brand 12v compressor I've been using for the past year and a half or so, normally to fill my 33's from 13-18psi up to 38ish after 4x4 trips. Paid ~$75 for it. It works but its slow and gets hot as hell by the time I'm done, thinking its nearing the end of its life. I've got a bunch of Milwaukee batteries and love Milwaukee product.. so I'm thinking about replacing the cheapo compressor with the milwaukee, but i'm not sure if itll have the power and stamina I need.

Anybody used this thing(or any other battery powered inflator) with success on larger tires? This might be the first battery powered compressor worth getting for my purposes. Apparently its an excellent product but I know I'll push it harder than most. I'd be happy if it could do all 4 from 13-38 on a single 5AH battery. $169 for the tool and I already have the batteries.. I'm between this or an on-board air setup..

I’ve used a dewalt battery inflator to refill truck tires from near flat to 70psi and it always does great and fills them in a reasonable amount of time, I’d expect the Milwaukee to perform even better

a buddy of mine just got one...I dont have alot to add, because we did not get into details...but I did ask him if it was fast and he said it takes about 10 min to air up all four. He is running stock size tires on a colorado (31ish). Said he was happy with it.

10 mins for all four is not bad at all. I use CO2 and a larger portable compressor. I think mine does 90ish seconds from 12 PSI to 28 PSI with the compressor (35" tires) and of course the CO2 does each tire in maybe 20 seconds. So with the compressor, it takes 6-8 mins by the time I go around all four. I think the ARB on board is about as good as it gets (dual or single) BUT try to mount it where it can get decent airflow and not get too hot.

I'd recommend my compressor but it is no longer made. I got the last from one the guy who ran the other Toyota site but they shut down the business.

The site is probably still up...not sure. With a toddler, I hardly get online except for few days and a few mins here and there. It was Toyota120.com and the business was called overlandwarehouse. There were two guys in and they made some awesome shocks for Toyotas too. Then the partnership tanked (no idea why) and they shut down the business. Their shocks were custom valved and I recall they had 2.0 and 2.5 for heavier-duty off-roading. Been a few years. I reached out soon after they closed shop. One guy (pretty sure he still runs Toyota120) remembered that had one compressor in a storage unit or warehouse so he sent it to me. It is a serious workhorse of a compressor. It is just about 10-20 seconds slower than the twin ARB (I timed them once) but gets less hot and then stays fast while the twin ARB slows down.
