Good price on a kit set if you need more 2Ah batteries and chargers

If you're willing to pay $69 for an inflator, then it's a great deal to get a battery with a lifetime warranty along with it for $20 more.

It is has a 50% duty cycle (5 minutes on, 5 minutes off) so it should work fine for general airing up of most vehicles, but don't expect it to pump up your off-road tires for driving home from the dunes without planning for some rest time.
Looking at the pictures, I see that the charger in this combo is of a new form factor. I'm hoping this will take up less space. I'm doing ship-to-home. I'll provide an update for those who are interested.
Thanks, OP.

In case you are unfamiliar and curious, when you race your tires get heated up. You need to check and release air after each run to keep them at ideal pressure as they get hotter and hotter (and stickier, which is good). After the racing ends and your tires cool back down, the pressure drops and you need to replace the air you let out. Something like this is perfect for the job for us weekend warriors, saving you from having to connect up a 12V portable compressor. Having the digital auto shutoff is a big help too.
My Viair 88P is overkill for the job and more well suited for off-road air-downs which require much more air.
That said, $90 is too steep. I'll wait a bit and look it as factory blemished at direct tools outlet.
I understand what you're saying.
However, a Ridgid 18V 2Ah battery goes for $90, 1.5Ah for $70.
You could get the $90 set, and sell the charger and battery for $50 and you'll get just the tool for even cheaper.
