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

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.
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.

The Ridgid is faster to fill tires - Plus Ridgid
The Ridgid is only supposed to run 5 minutes at a time and then is supposed to have a 5 minute break where the Milwaukee is 10 minutes and then needs a 10 minute break. - I say this is about even
The Ridgid can use a 12V source in your car as a power source the Milwaukee cannot. - Plus Ridgid
The Ridgid has a plastic quick coupler to attach to the valve stem and the Milwaukee is a metal screw in. - Plus Milwaukee
Lifetime Service Agreement - Plus Ridgid
Price - Plus Ridgid
Overall I like the size and stance of the Milwaukee better, it stands upright and looks good, where as the Ridgid ends up on its side when filling because of its shape. - Plus Milwaukee
I think I am going to go for the Ridgid since I think there are more benefits with it, but it depends on what is important to you.
Anyone else has any major differences, please chime in.
