October was the expected launch date. I just sent out some feelers to see if there was a delay in getting it to distribution. Unfortunately, delays have been common with most brands. We were working on an angle grinder article a few months ago and it took almost 6 months to get here! The folks on the brand side that we talk to are frustrated, too. Everyone wants to set reasonable expectations, but the supply chain still has its issues. The good news is that it looks like our ports are finally clearing the backlog, so hopefully, we’ll see fewer delays on what’s coming in via import.

I know that’s a longer reply than you asked for, but I’m hoping the additional context helps! I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from Ryobi about an updated arrival date.
