As expected, it got pretty hot, so I let it cool awhile between tires. Used about half of a 4ah battery.
People complain about the weird chuck, but after a short learning curve, I really like how quick and easy it is.

If you're talking about the inflator, keep in mind that in late January, DTO had a free shipping promo for a couple days, and at the time the blem was priced at $30. So $30 and change shipped to your door.
Today, the blem is $39 + shipping and tax, when it can be purchased at Home Depot for $59, which is their normal "sale" price. Not a hard decision between the two, when HD offers instant gratification and 90-day returns, for a minimal ~$5 cost difference.
When it first appeared on the market, $30 was the normal HD sale price, but it hasn't gone that low since. If there are stores selling it for $19, that's very much a YMMV thing.
DTO's "blemished" is new, and qualifies for the LSA for the types of tools that are eligible. Some types, like compressors are (or were; it changes) not eligible. "Reconditioned" does not qualify in any case.
The inflator is a solid buy for anyone in the Ridgid system already. Keep in mind it has a 5 min duty cycle, and the chuck can be fiddly with certain stems, but that's not necessarily a deal killer. The gauge on mine reads high.
If you can afford to wait for the next free shipping promo, stay on top of things and hope the price dips that low again, that's an option. But there's also the risk that it might not dip that low again. Gotta weigh those things for yourself, and for each item in particular, with their own price trends.
I've been watching the mobile miter saw stand for a while now. I've seen it 25% and 30% in the past... today's deal of 35% is the best I've seen so I ordered one this morning. Normally $200, it's $130 today (and $15 for shipping).

Just sayin'.

It does mention that after running 5 minutes continuously, let it cool down for 5 minutes. 5 on, 5 off, repeat.
I have this same inflator but only use it to top off tires especially as the weather cools and tire pressure gets low, or inflate bicycle tires and sports balls. Absolutely love it, and the chuck works great for hands free operation on most tire stems. Less leaks, hands free and I appreciate being able to walk away if it's too loud due to being in an enclosed space

I like this inflator more than the Milwaukee M12 one I have.
