Product Information

Full details

The Black + Decker BDCINF18N-QS is a versatile air compressor designed for users needing both high-pressure inflation for small volumes and low-pressure inflation/deflation for larger items. Its key benefit is its adaptability across three power sources, offering flexibility for various situations. A potential caveat is that while it offers high pressure, it's primarily suited for smaller tasks rather than continuous industrial use. This unit features a digital display for precise pressure setting and automatic shut-off, integrated storage for accessories, and dual functionality as a compressor or inflator.

FAQs

Does this come with an 18V battery?

The Black + Decker BDCINF18N-QS is often sold as a bare tool, meaning the 18V battery and charger are typically sold separately. Please check the product listing for specific package contents.

What is the maximum pressure this compressor can achieve?

The maximum operating pressure for this unit is 11.03 bar (160 PSI).

Can I use this to power air tools?

This unit is designed for inflation and deflation tasks. Its pressure and airflow are generally not sufficient for operating air tools which typically require higher, continuous airflow.

How do I switch between inflation and compressor modes?

The unit features distinct modes for high-pressure compression and low-pressure inflation/deflation. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on mode selection, usually managed via buttons on the device.

What types of items can I inflate with the included adapters?

The included adapters typically cover car tires, bicycle tires (if compatible valve adapter is used), sports balls, and air beds/mattresses.

Is the display backlit?

Yes, the built-in digital display features a backlight for improved visibility in various lighting conditions.

Can I use this compressor while it's plugged into the 12V car adapter?

Yes, you can use the 12V cigarette lighter adapter to power the unit. Ensure your vehicle's accessory port is active.

Troubleshooting

Unit not powering on

Verify the power source connection. Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated (if using cordless), the 12V plug is fully inserted, or the AC adapter is securely plugged in. Check the main on/off switch.

Inflating slowly or not reaching target pressure

Check for air leaks in the hose connection or at the inflation point. Ensure the intake filter is clean and free from obstruction. Verify the correct mode (high pressure vs. low pressure) is selected for the task.

Automatic shut-off not engaging

Confirm that the unit is in 'compressor' mode and that a target pressure has been digitally set. Ensure the pressure sensor is not obstructed.

Accessories or cable storage difficult to close

Ensure accessories are correctly placed within their designated compartments and that no cables are obstructing the covers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile with three power source options (18V cordless, 12V car, AC mains).
  • Precise inflation control with digital pressure setting and auto-stop feature.
  • Dual functionality for both high-pressure and low-pressure applications.
  • Compact design with integrated storage for accessories and cables.
  • Includes essential adapters for common inflation needs.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for smaller volume tasks, not heavy-duty continuous use.
  • Cordless operation depends on battery charge (battery not always included).
  • Maximum pressure of 11.03 bar may be insufficient for certain specialized applications.
  • Cigarette lighter power option requires the vehicle to be running or in accessory mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Hose Connection: Securely attach the appropriate hose and nozzle to the item you wish to inflate or deflate.
  3. Pressure Setting: For compressor mode, use the digital display to set the target pressure. Ensure the unit is in the correct mode (compressor or inflator/deflator).

Compatibility:

  • Power Sources: Compatible with Black + Decker 18V cordless system, standard 12V car cigarette lighter ports, and 220-230V AC wall outlets.
  • Valves: Includes adapters for standard tire valves, ball inflation, and air beds.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the unit in water.
