Edit: weren't all chiming in now.
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.
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?
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.

The price for the bare tool is $49 even (I know, strange).
So the revised question: Is around $7 more worth it for you?

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.
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.
