Ridgid Power Tools Ridgid touts Ridgid's Warranty "Best in the industry until it isn't"
Ridgid touts "The best warranty in the business"..well, it is until it isn't. To start with it evidently only applies to tools bought at Home Depot..good luck trying to register anything bought elsewhere on line..and the lifetime of what?
Certainly not the purchaser because the batteries I bought with a "lifetime warranty" are no longer warranted for some reason..I should have known if it looks too good to be true it probably is..
