The best price ever on this tool is when DTO had a sale on the "blem" with free shipping; ~$30 delivered, early in 2023.
When first introduced [toolguyd.com] a few years ago, HD's sale price at the time was $39.
But, Ridgid blems at DTO have dried up, and as with most things, price have crept up, so HD's sale price has gone from $39 to $49, to $59.
The gauge on mine is off, and too optimistic, so I don't use the Auto setting, but even if it was closer to being spot on, I'd still verify with a different trusted gauge.
And yes, the chuck can be finicky, but I've found that when it doesn't latch, rotating the hose to a different clock position relative to the stem usually allows it to engage and lock properly.
It also has a five-minute duty cycle, so on the rarer occasion, inflating items with very large volumes may run into that constraint.
But overall, it's a good tool, that does qualify for the LSA program, as long as it is purchased from an authorized retailer, effectively meaning only HD now.
Be aware that chasing cheap Ridgid tools from third-party sellers takes them out of the running for the LSA, as well as the "reconditioned" tools at DTO, which have 1-year warranties.
In the past, DTO blems qualified for the LSA, and secretly being new tools, meant that it was the best, cheapest option for buying Ridgid, before that door closed.
Please share link to where to buy the adapter that works with dewalt for cheap.
Thanks!

Side note, I have all Ridgid 18v tools because of the warranty. I also have a Ryobi trimmer. They make adapters for Ridgid to Ryobi. My trimmer came with the cutest batter that maybe lasted a total of 15 trimming minutes. The Ridgid battery is a 4ah and lasts me my whole lawn and part of the neighbor's.

For a portable cordless inflator the sound is no louder than other similar tools (obviously it's loud), and the rate of inflation is actually quite good. It will of course take a long time to fill a large tire especially if it's greatly deflated, but again this is a small portable unit, it should not be expected to compete with a full sized air compressor.
