Default Screwgun Recommendation

I have an old, but great condition Skil Screwgun model 6906. Great except
that the bit holder no longer holds the bit in place. Unfortunately Skil
no longer makes any screwgun and needless to say they do not have any parts
available for this screwgun. I am therefore looking for a new gun. Harbor
Freight's gun looks exactly like the DeWalt screwgun and at $39.99 is
tempting to get with the 2 year extended warranty (I overheard some pros
talking about buying the HF roofing guns and extended warranty and getting
new ones all the time on HF). My other tempting option is a Ridgid R6000
from Home Depot because when I register it I can get a lifetime warranty
(VERY tempting). Anybody have any experience with either of these?
Thanks.

Good luck registering the Ridgid. Ridgid refused mine because the HD
receipt wasn't adequate.
Don't know what the hell they wanted as I chose not to fight this one.
