Greenworks 24V PowerAll Inflator/Compressor Review: A Compact Dual-Purpose Air Tool

Introduction

The Greenworks 24V PowerAll Inflator/Compressor is a combination tool aimed at two jobs at once: filling tires with precision and moving large volumes of air into things like air mattresses and rafts. It runs on a 24V lithium-ion battery (the example unit shipped with a 2Ah pack) and can also draw power from a vehicle power port, which gives it genuine dual-power flexibility.

For anyone deep into one battery platform, this tool is a useful reminder that other ecosystems exist. Greenworks is a large company with multiple tool lines spanning consumer, semi-pro, and full pro tiers, including lawn mowers, drills, saws, and gardening equipment, plus several inflators across its 24V and higher-voltage platforms.

Who This Product Is For

This is not designed for giant truck tires. It is built for car tires and everything smaller: motorcycle tires, and notably fat bike tires, which are notoriously tedious to fill with a traditional hand pump because of the sheer volume of air they need.

It is equally aimed at campers and anyone dealing with inflatables. Air mattresses, rafts, and similar items fall to the large-volume inflatable mode rather than the pressure-regulated compressor side. If your week involves topping off car tires on a driveway and then setting up camp on a weekend, one tool covering both is the core appeal.

Main Strengths

The display is the first thing that stands out. It is bright with a solid blue backlight, easy to read at a distance, and offers a PSI setting for tires plus a dedicated inflatable setting with no pressure ceiling. You dial in a target PSI, press the on and pause button, and the unit shuts off automatically when it reaches the target, with a maximum of 160 PSI on the pressure side.

Two less common features earn real points. First, the active pressure readout lets you use it as a gauge: pull the chuck off, snap it back on, and you can see the current pressure, then bleed air down if needed. That matters for off-roading and overlanding, where you may want to drop pressure for terrain and reinflate afterward. Second, it can deflate. The inflatable side has both an output and an input, so swapping the hose turns it into a deflator that pulls air out of an air mattress quickly, much like vacuum sealing, which makes packing up far easier.

The accessory set covers the practical cases: a ball inflator needle, a Presta-to-Schrader adapter, and a raft inflator nozzle that fits the high-pressure hose for situations needing more than the separate volume inflator. The quick cap on the hose is a nicer design than a screw-on brass cap; with screw-on chucks on smaller high-pressure inflatables, it is easy to lose a noticeable amount of air removing the cap, sometimes several pounds worth, which you then have to compensate for.

Finally, the built-in work light, activated by a dedicated switch, is a small touch that pays off when you set the tool down at dusk and need to find a tire cap. And dual power is a genuine convenience: it runs off the 24V battery or plugs directly into any vehicle power port, whether in the cab or in the bed of a pickup.

Things to Consider Before Buying

A few caveats are worth knowing before you buy. The dual-power design has limits: it would not run from a portable power station power port in one test, which is expected given how those ports behave, so treat vehicle ports and the battery pack as the intended sources.

It is also not a heavy-duty compressor. Large truck tires are outside its intended use, and the compressor is compact, so filling large-volume tires takes some patience. The inflatable fan mode is reasonably powerful and moves a good amount of air, but it is essentially a mini blower built into the housing rather than a dedicated high-flow device.

If you are already invested in another battery platform, this tool asks you to add a second battery system unless you plan to lean on the vehicle power option. That is the trade-off for stepping outside a familiar ecosystem, though Greenworks’ broad 24V lineup, where two batteries can be paired for 48V tools, makes the platform easier to grow into.

Buying Advice

For car, motorcycle, and fat bike owners, the pressure side with its 160 PSI ceiling, auto shutoff, and active readout covers everyday and niche inflation needs well. The ability to bleed pressure down for off-road use and top back up afterward makes it particularly interesting for overlanders. Campers get the better half of the bargain: fast inflation and, more importantly, fast deflation of air mattresses and rafts, which is the step most inflators ignore entirely.

If you only ever fill car tires once a month, a simpler dedicated inflator may be enough. But if your routine mixes tires with inflatables, or you frequently pack up camp and want a mattress that actually flattens for rolling, the dual-purpose design justifies itself. And with vehicle power as a backup, you are rarely stuck without a way to run it.

Conclusion

The Greenworks 24V PowerAll Inflator/Compressor does more than most compact inflators: precise pressure-regulated tire filling, large-volume inflation, and deflation, with dual power from a 24V battery or a vehicle port. It has clear limits around big truck tires and second-platform batteries, but for drivers, motorcyclists, fat bikers, and campers, it is a genuinely practical single tool for two very different air-moving jobs.
