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's nice that it's hybrid, so you can store it in your vehicle and run it off the car battery instead of worrying about keeping charged Ridgid batteries handy all the time.

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.

I've been watching this and it has been in and out of inventory. This seems like a great deal since it comes with a LSA battery. The charger on the other hand is pretty cheap and should be sold to reduce cost (assuming that you are in the Ridgid system and you have chargers on hand).

I've been waiting for a Ridgid inflator. Like many of you, I have quite a few smaller batteries and chargers. I'll likely start selling the smaller batteries and chargers.

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.

I've been in the market for a good cordless compressor. I need portable air for airing up the tires after autocrossing.
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 bought this (tool only) a couple months ago and it's been great for topping off car tires. The digital pressure gauge isn't super accurate, but will get you in the ballpark as long as you overshoot your desired pressure slightly. It's a lot faster than the traditional 12V inflator and jump pack (w/ 12V adapter) setup I was using before, and a lot more convenient when moving around the car and into the trunk to top off the spare. I don't keep mine in the car, but the included 12V cord makes that a viable option if you don't want to worry about storing an 18V battery.

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.

I was looking at this tool for a minute, and this seems like a great deal. One question for you all, though: I don't have an air compressor in my garage, and it seems like I'd be better off spending for an air compressor that can do multiple different jobs as opposed to this thing. Obviously I can't lug the compressor around in my car, so that's one down side. Thoughts? How cheap does a quality air compressor get?

Anyone know how this compares to the m12 Milwaukee inflator? Better, same, slower?
