Pros & Cons
Pros
Negative reviews should not deter you from purchasing this item. This product is a beast.
Makita has the engineering ability to build this pump to any specs they want. Its reasonably light, quiet, powerful and well featured. Fast, lightweight and quiet.
Cons
Pressure gauge and auto shutoff are inaccurate and variable. Turns off before reaching preset psi. Shows err on the screen.
The digital gauge on my inflator is roughly 20% if u work with typical car tires. The hose can't be removed so you're stuck with the bike tire clip-on adapter. Unless you own a bike shop or are coaching a soccer or basketball team forget about this.
This thing is slow and noisy. Delusional- can neither justify or accept this experience for the money.
Overall though, it is extremely overpriced for what you get. Some are nearly perfect, many are good, but with inexplicable flaws and weaknesses. The accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.

Works great, and the fact that i can set the pressure and it will stop is super nice.
The trigger requires very little pressure to squeeze, so the fact that there is no trigger lock doesn’t bother me at all — and ... Read More
Pumps fast even when filling higher pressure truck tires up to 75+psi.

It’s about $80 more but will definitely work a lot better.
The lack of a trigger lock is a negative (especially if you’ve got a flat tire that’s going to take awhile to fill), but amazon... Read More
Competitiveness
I tried the same technique with my rigid and found that this solved the issue i was having with it.
The rigid certainly wins in the feature department.
It’s also nice that, while people have differing opinions on brands, makita make good stuff.
Since i have used both devices, i can provide a little comparison:price: makita: $109 on amazon ($129 at hd); rigid $89 at hd.

My makita drill battery did not fit this device
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I called makita support and was told that makita changed the batteries a few years ago and if my drill was 7 years or older it wouldn’t work with the dmp 180

However he said that if i ordered the newer battery it would be compatible with this device and it would also fit my makita drill fast charger and fit my drill

Makita told me to order the 3 amp battery version
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I found a 6 amp model on amazon 108wh
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The trigger requires very little pressure to squeeze so the fact that there is no trigger lock doesn’t bother me at all — and the several pounds of air at the most per tire that i have to add to each tire only takes seconds
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You have to order the charger separate though
