Trigger Lock Button Compatible with Makita DMP180Z, Lenink Power Button On/Off Control Clamp Lock Compatible with Makita Cordless Inflator Air Compressor

I use this on my Makita LXT 18V compressors. They allow me to do other things while the compressor is topping off the tires.

If you own the Makita tire inflator this is designed for, you’re probably annoyed that it’s slow and you have to manually hold the trigger the whole time it inflates, which can be tedious, especially while crouching down low to the ground.This trigger easily attaches to the inflator (with Velcro), is unobtrusive, remains permanently attached, and converts the manual trigger to a push button that engages (or disengages) the trigger, depending which position it’s in. And of course, you don’t need to manually hold it, and the inflator’s automatic off function will turn it off when the desired pressure is reached anyway.Great inexpensive work-around for an annoying design flaw that Makita’s safety engineers/lawyers probably insisted on.Only negative is that mine did not come with instructions, though it was fairly intuitive to figure out installation and use.

This is so much better than standing with Makita Inflator in hand waiting for the tire to fill, especially in midwest winters. Big tires take some time so good to have this option. Good purchase, glad I bought it.

Why in the WORLD is this not included (or built into) the Makita 18V LXT compressor? Kneeling down holding the trigger to inflate a tire would be brutal on my back. The compressor has a built in setting for stopping when the correct pressure is met as it is, so why not have a setting that lets you pull the trigger and it locks and then stops when it's done like a gas pump? I installed this little handy mod the day I got my compressor. No more hassle!

Great idea, but they are cheaply made and break too easily. First one broke, first couple of days. Bought second one thinking it must have just been a bad one, and it broke the first day as well. Go to tighten the velcro and the thin plastic that the velcro loops through breaks. This after having to use loctite to keep the silver button cap form falling off all the time. I wished they worked well, but they do not hold up.

Excellent value for the money. This device makes the makita tire inflator the easy to use tool it should have always been. Set the inflator to your desired pressure, engage this trigger lock, and set the inflator down. Walk away even. It will stop once the target pressure has been set. It is simple to use, unobtrusive, and reliable.

This little device is awesome. The missing feature for the Makita inflator!Seriously, if you have this inflator, don’t hesitate buying this. It’s a game changer.

This works well. If it doesn't work perfectly the first time you try it, then turn it around and refasten it the opposite way.
