All of a sudden, everything I really wanted seems to be only available as a bundle for shipping. Eg. The ryobi inflator-deflator was available to ship until yesterday. Now it's only available in store for pickup under this deal. If I wanted this shipped, I get to pay a bunch more for the kit with the battery and charger I don't need. That sucks.
Their site, especially after the "redesign" 3 years ago totally sucks.
It took me 1 hour to go from cart to final checkout, and in that time 3 items sold out.
Randomly gave pink bar javascript errors, then finally "Server Error" followed by the "Maintenance" picture.
It randomly brought back items in my cart I had deleted previously.
It kept logging me out after some short amount of "inactivity" (waiting on them), which then caused me to lose the entire cart OR have it randomly double stuff up/bring back old.
It accepted my address for shipping (copied from address book used many times before) but failed to apply it to Billing Address and had to override and fix multiple things blindly without it ever telling me WHAT to fix. (doesn't like dashes in phone numbers and 9 digit zip codes, and didn't copy last name down, merged it with first name).
It lost the applied coupon code for free shipping twice during all of this as well.
I'll be amazed if I actually get what I ordered.
I used to order a lot from them 3-5 years ago but their prices have gone way up (often over Home Depot NEW (Sale/Promo) prices) on even used return "Refurbished" stuff.
I almost gave up but it finally went through lacking multiple items that sold out or I just had no more patience to try to re-add after it dumped the cart.
Was wanting this rigid 18v inflator https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com...r/p/R87044
Tired of bringing out the pancake to air up basketball, football, car tires, riding lawn mower tires etc... Plus it will auto stop at the correct set psi I believe.. Its oos so wondering if it will come back, I've never ordered from the site b4 so not sure. Anyone can chime in, will it come back in stock, what's slick price and is this one recommended? I'm in no rush but got a few rigid batteries + LSA is useful if it applies to this Blemished stock?
I don't know if it will come back in stock but I ordered one today. Lots of comments from Slickdeals community that LSA works with factory blems but not refurbs. I have one I got at Home Depot on sale for $49 and it works great. No more pancake inflator for me that needs to be refilled after inflating 3 tires an additional 1-2psi. It does turn off at the psi setting and also comes with a long 12V plug for cigarette lighter. I'll keep one in my trunk of my car (without a battery) and another in my garage. Under $30 with shipping and LSA was too good for me to pass up. I also picked up the Ridgid blower/inflator and hybrid fan both factory blems. Good enough prices for me to bite.

Last night, I got wind of this deal and grabbed a light I've been wanting. I wanted a stapler, but the only one for shipping was the recon, and it was more expensive than the blem! I tried this morning, hoping they'd update the blem for shipping, no dice. I saw some comments of things coming back for ship to home, and finally snagged one for $35! Now I have two sprayers coming, oh joy! FYI, Chrome kept crashing, but Firefox flew right through the checkout process.

Got the dual temp Glue Gun kit for $20 (and of course a free sprayer) and free shipping. That's the lowest I've ever seen it. The Ryobi sliding miter saws are a good deal too.
After making the payment I got an error message. There is a pending charge on my card but I didn't receive confirmation email. Now have to figure out if my order went through...
How do you like the Ryobi one? I just jumped on the factory blemished one today for $76 + tax and it feels like a good deal. Already in the Ryobi ecosystem so I couldn't justify going with the Ridgid one + battery.
I've been using the one I borrowed from my sister for months. Probably almost a year now TBH. It's fired easily a thousand nails without a single jam and only a handful of dry fires. We've put up a tonne of shiplap and other projects and it's held up like a champ. You will want a 3AH or 4AH battery to use it - you'll a handful of good shots out of smaller batteries, but it has a high threshold for required juice to drive appropriately. It's handled 2" down to 5/8" brads without trouble, attaching into stuff stuff like OSB into old growth dimensional lumber that my house is framed from (120 y/o house).
I'm in both Ridgid and Ryobi tool lines (and I have a few m12s as well...) so I'd prefer Ridgid if possible, but Ryobi got this tool right.

Check your order history. I didn't get an email either, and it's been well over an hour. But when I log in and check history, it shows there.
Yeah I spent $600 for 25%. Too much work to return. Nicely played direct tools. Nicely played. They beat me this time.
I'm probably gonna look at more stuff to buy now.
Update: Bought 20 inch self-propelled ryobi mower. The negative reviews on HD is scary but my justification is the 6ah battery is in itself near $200 so its probably $45 for the mower which may die or not cut as cleanly as my gas-powered mower. However I am getting tired of fixing gas tools so I am currently switching to the ryobi ecosystem for convenience and time savings.. until they die. Hopefully not soon.
Take your receipt and compare it to the items today. They probably are out of stock. The extra 5% + shipping you paid is the cost to get them, vs missing out today or having to check at 12am est every night and pulling the trigger immediately.

They are probably swamped, but if this happens you should call them. I think something similar happened to me the very first time I made an order with them (years ago) and they sorted it out very quickly.

Did I quick look on Big Orange/Home Depot and could not find that kit.
I think I did find the bare tool for $50 ($49.99) at https://www.homedepot.c
That price is a Special Buy marked down from $70.00 (or so Big Orange says :c).
The DTFO kit comes with a bag, charger, and 2 - 1.5 AH batteries for $56.00* ($55.99).
So the question you have to ask yourself is if a bag, charger, & 2 1.5 AH batteries worth the 6 dollars more.
* Assuming the free shipping code stops glitching. If not you will have to add $10 to the price for shipping.
//////////////////////////////////////////CORRECTION///////////////////////////////////////////
The price for the bare tool is $49 even (I know, strange).
So the revised question: Is around $7 more worth it for you?
