Our verdict
The most flexible inflator here because it never depends on one power source. It is a clear buy for DEWALT battery owners and a harder case for everyone else.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Three ways to power it: battery, car outlet or wall outlet
- Automatic shutoff at the pressure you set
- High-volume mode inflates and deflates air mattresses and rafts
- Onboard LED light, and the 12 V car cord is in the box
Cons
- Sold as a bare tool: the battery, charger and AC adapter all cost extra
- DEWALT's product page does not state airflow or hose length
- Makes most sense only if you already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries

The full review
Who it suits
Anyone already on the DEWALT 20V MAX battery platform, and drivers who like the fallback of plugging into the car's 12 V outlet when the battery is flat.
Who should skip it
Buyers with no DEWALT batteries who want a self-contained cordless inflator. A model with a built-in battery avoids the extra purchases.
What we could not confirm
The 160 PSI figure comes from DEWALT's manual and retailer specification sheets, not the product page itself. Weight is not in the table because sources disagree.
Frequently asked questions

- No. It is sold as a tool only. The battery, charger and AC power adapter are sold separately; the 12 V DC car cord is included.
- Can the DCC020IB run from a car outlet?
- Yes. It runs from a 20V MAX battery, a 12 V DC car outlet or a 110 V AC wall outlet with the separate adapter.
- Does the DCC020IB stop automatically?
- Yes. In high-pressure mode you set the target on the digital gauge and it shuts off when it gets there.
