Inflate Bike Tires and Sports Equipment on the Go with Ryobi
While it’s a good idea to have an inflator on hand for car tire emergencies, not everyone needs an air pump that pulls out all the stops. If you’re simply looking for something to fill the tires on your bike or blow up some sports equipment for a day at the park, Ryobi has you covered with the USB Lithium High-Pressure Inflator. I’m going over the details of this inflator to see what it’s capable of.

The Ryobi FVIF51 USB Lithium High-Pressure Inflator provides pressure levels of up to 100 PSI, which the brand tells us is ideal for inflating bicycle tires and sports balls. It features a digital pressure gauge to help you monitor pressure levels while you work.
As part of Ryobi’s USB Lithium battery platform, this tool is very light and compact, weighing just 1 pound with the battery. It includes a 6-inch hose with an onboard storage slot to keep the hose tucked away when it’s not in use. Also included are a sports needle for filling basketballs, footballs, or other sports equipment, and a Presta valve adapter for filling bike tires.
For transport, you can secure this tool to your bicycle frame using the included hook and loop straps for on-the-go tire inflation. It’s also small enough to carry in a backpack or gym bag to take it with you wherever you need it.
Additionally, this tool features an onboard LED work light to help you see in dimly lit areas. It also has battery indicator lights that glow either green (sufficient charge) or red (low battery) to keep an eye on your battery level.
Ryobi USB Lithium Inflator Price
This inflator retails for $39.97 for the kit at The Home Depot. It includes the inflator, a 2.0Ah USB Lithium battery, and several accessories. Ryobi backs your purchase with a 2-year warranty
