Ridgid power tools now come with a lifetime warranty, including replacement
batteries for cordless tools, if you register your purchase on the Ridgid
website. Nonetheless, at checkout at the local Home Depot, you have the
"opportunity" to buy an extended warranty ($9.99 for a $60 orbital sander,
for example).

Waarranty extended beyond lifetime of the tool? interesting concept --
