CRAFTSMAN V20 Tire Inflator

No — the CMCE520B is a tool-only listing. The V20 battery and charger are sold separately. The inflator also runs on 12V DC via the car's cigarette lighter and on 120V AC via a standard wall outlet, so it's usable without a battery if you have access to either power source. A bundle (CMCE520B + CMCB202-2CK 2.0Ah battery + charger) is available under ASIN B07XL326H9.

No UL Listing or ETL Certification has been confirmed for the CMCE520B in North American safety databases as of May 2026. All five mandatory lookups were completed — UL Product iQ, Intertek ETL directory, CPSC recall database, FCC database (not applicable — no radio functionality), and manufacturer technical sources including craftsman.com and ManualsLib. No certification language was found in any primary source. No active CPSC recall is on record for this model.

Tom's Guide's December 2022 hands-on review recorded the gauge reading within 1 PSI of the vehicle's TPMS reading — the most precise gauge comparison available from a single independent hands-on tester. One Amazon reviewer noted an unusually high reading on first use but subsequent accuracy within normal range. Cross-confirmed accuracy data from a second independent hands-on source has not been found as of May 2026.

Three: a Craftsman V20 20V MAX Li-ion battery (sold separately and compatible with all other V20 tools), a 12V DC connection via the car's cigarette lighter/accessory port, and a 120V AC household wall outlet. All three modes are included in the box — the unit stores the 12V plug and other accessories in an onboard compartment.

The rated maximum is 160 PSI, which covers the target pressure range for passenger cars (25–44 PSI), SUVs, and light trucks (50–80 PSI). Community performance at the rated 160 PSI ceiling has not been independently verified as of May 2026. One community note reports difficulty completing all four consecutive tires on 35-inch light-truck tires, suggesting thermal limiting in very high-volume applications.
