EGO just added one of its most universally useful accessories to the 56V platform: a compact inflator that delivers up to 160 PSI and runs on every EGO battery you already own.

The IF1600 isn’t limited to one job. It handles passenger and light truck tires, trailer tires, bicycle tires, sports equipment, and inflatables, all from the same tool. At $149 tool-only, it’s a practical addition for anyone already running EGO batteries in the garage or yard.

Key Specs

  • Model: IF1600
  • Max pressure: 160 PSI (high-pressure mode)
  • Modes: High-pressure, high-volume, deflation
  • Memory presets: 4 (saves your most-used PSI targets)
  • Activity light: Magnetic-mount, useful in low light
  • Platform: EGO 56V ARC Lithium (compatible with all EGO 56V batteries)
  • Price: $149 tool only

Why EGO Owners Should Pay Attention

EGO’s 56V platform has been expanding steadily into outdoor power, mowers, blowers, trimmers, chainsaws. The IF1600 is a different kind of addition: a garage utility tool that earns its keep year-round, not just in the spring cutting season.

If you’re already running EGO batteries for your leaf blower or string trimmer, the IF1600 adds tire and equipment inflation to your battery rotation at zero incremental battery cost. That’s the whole pitch. EGO batteries are expensive enough that tool-only pricing makes sense once you’re inside the ecosystem.

The four memory presets are a practical detail, you can store the correct PSI for your truck tires, car tires, wheelbarrow, and bike all at once. No looking up specs every time.

How It Compares

Ryobi’s 18V inflator tops out at 150 PSI and runs around $59 tool-only, a reasonable budget pick if you’re in the ONE+ ecosystem. Milwaukee’s M18 inflator handles 150 PSI as well. At 160 PSI, the EGO IF1600 covers a wider range of high-pressure applications, including larger light truck tires that can specify 80-100 PSI cold.
