Bought mine for about 35, but they often go for 40 or less with shipping on direct tools outlet or even home depot. That's without the battery. You can certainly get batteries with charger for less than 60 very easily without trying.
does someone has both this and ryobi ? how do they compare? i have ryobi that i got for 60 with battery and charger, on sale, and wonder if i should get this one too

This is one of my favorite Dewalt purchases. It does function as an inflator (and deflator) for pool toys/rafts/etc. It is VERY well made and easy to use.
I'm sure the Ryobi is good as well, but I'm invested in the Dewalt battery family.
I've had the $35 Ryobi inflator for 2 years, and it's been great for beach toy inflatables, rafts, ext.
It's just OK for car tire inflation. It takes a really long time to air up a car tire. But for $35 it's been a fantastic purchase. I'm just wondering how much better, if any, this $100 Dewalt is than the $35 Ryobi. If it inflates car tires or inflatables, 3x faster than the Ryobi, I can understand the pricing, but if it's essentially the same thing for triple the price, just buy the Ryobi inflator and a $25 20v Dewalt to Ryobi Battery adapter like I did.

I'm currently transitioning from Ryobi to Dewalt as I upgrade everything to brushless. Third parties sell wonderful adapters to run Ryobi tools with Dewalt batteries. Because of geometry it's hard to go the other way, I don't know if any adapters currently exist. There are certain things that Dewalt does poorly, like vacuums and flashlights, so I'll be sticking with other brands for those things even as I use Dewalt batteries. I'm using a Rigid hand vac right now with a Dewalt adapter.
Just FYI, you cannot charge batteries between these ecosystems with an adapter. Ryobi has a chip to detect official batteries/chargers. The battery will shut down if it's the wrong charger, and I assume it works the other way as well. Dewalt batteries don't have a built-in balancer. They rely on their special charger to do that, which is why their chargers have so many pins.

If I remember correctly, DeWalt low voltage cut-off is in the tool, not the battery. So using DeWalt batteries in tools not made for them could result in over-discharging and bricking the battery.

That is true, But I've been using my 20v Dewalt to Ryobi "Badapter" branded adapter for almost three years now, and haven't "bricked" any of my 10+ 20v Dewalt batteries. I'm sure it's not idiot proof, but I've had no issues yet. And I've been enjoying all kinds of cheap 18v Ryobi tools with my 20v Dewalt batteries.
