Itiwit Air Pump Modification (to run from 18V Makita battery)

[Fenlander]

That pump looks really interesting, almost defying the laws of physics re output vs size vs claimed 25min battery life.

Someone (who hasn't just bought a Ryobi inflator) should buy one to test.

Flextail do sell some cracking little pumps. Maybe not the cheapest though!

We had one with an inbuilt lamp we used for camping, blowing up air matts and deflating vacuum bags against damp conditions, holidays travel etc
Great bits of kit and battery lasted great.

Does anyone know if the Aldi/Dewalt/Ryobi tools are directly compatible with any other brand battery?

I’m in the 18v Dewalt camp, with numerous 5mah batteries and tools, but I do find them a bit on the expensive side for my amateur use.

You could always go down the battery converter route.

Yeah....we can easily try that option if none of the cheaper products are a directly compatible.

Bit of a review at the start on the flextail for sleeping pad and lighting
