MIJIA Air Pump 2D 150 PSI Type-C Inflator: Car Tyres, Bikes and Balls Covered - and How Slow It Gets on Big Air Mattresses

A portable inflator is the tool you reach for when a tyre is soft at the wrong moment, and the specs that actually matter are pressure ceiling, gauge accuracy and airflow - not the number of preset modes. This MIJIA Air Pump 2D is rated to 150 PSI with an accuracy of about +/-1 PSI on its gauge, runs on a built-in 2000mAh battery and charges over USB Type-C, which means one cable for the car, the bike and the football, and no separate 12V socket lead. Read the pressure figure correctly: 150 PSI is a ceiling, not a target. Car tyres sit around 30-36 PSI, bicycle tyres often need 60-100 PSI and road bike tyres up to roughly 110 PSI, so all of those are comfortably inside range; a light van needing 60-80 PSI is fine too, but anything above 150 PSI is out. The real limitation is volume rather than pressure - this is a low-flow pump, so topping up four car tyres takes a few minutes and inflating a large air mattress or paddling pool will feel slow, where a high-volume pump is the right tool. Confirm with the seller the exact model (MJCQB07QWS is the common one), the battery capacity and what nozzles are included, and check the set covers your valves - Schrader, Presta and the small needle for balls.

12-Inch Brushless Mini Chainsaw for Makita 18V Batteries: Which Batteries Fit, Which Do Not - and What to Check Before You Cut

This is a one-handed cordless chainsaw for pruning, limbing and small firewood, built to run on Makita 18V batteries instead of a proprietary pack - which is the whole point if you already own that system, and also the first thing to get wrong. It uses a 12-inch (about 30 cm) bar with a 3/8-inch low-profile chain, a brushless motor, tool-free chain tensioning and automatic bar oiling. Before ordering, check three things. First, the battery terminal: it takes the Makita 18V slide-on interface, the LXT / B-series such as BL1830, BL1840, BL1850 and BL1860. The 18V G-series packs (BL1813G, BL1413G, DC18WA) use a different terminal and will not fit, and neither will 12V CXT or old Ni-Cd packs. Second, confirm whether the listing includes a battery and charger or ships as a bare tool - most Makita-compatible tools are bare, and the title alone does not settle it. Third, remember that a 12-inch bar is for branches and small logs rather than trunks: continuous heavy cutting heats the motor and bar, and the chain needs bar-and-chain oil topped up regularly or the bar will burn. Confirm battery fitment, kit contents and chain pitch with the seller before ordering.
