If it's like the electronics industry, not only is it just the life of
the tool, it's only for the supported lifecycle of the tool.


To clarify what the Ridgid warranty people told me, make copies of your
receipt as the receipt is often printed on thermal heat print paper and the
receipt has to be used to prove when the tool was purchased to define which
warranty you have. She said that the original thermal heat print receipt
will not last as long as the life time warranty. She said as long as I
owned the tool with the lifetime warranty and have a receipt to prove when
it was purchased that it would be repaired at no charge.
