Take a look at it/them and see if they meet YOUR quality expectation
in new. If they do, the warrantee is as good as the name behind it.
Does Rigid have the same reputation as dewalt (power tools) or snap on
(hand tools)? These companies don't need to offer me a lifetime
warrentee, because they have earned my trust. I do not expect any
tool they make will prove to be defective. I might Rigid a go if I
were convinced the initial quality is there, but I suspect this is not
the case.

Actually is sounds VERY GOOD

I'll quote from the Ridgid website. LOOK UNDER LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY,
which is what the tools purchased till 12/31/03 comes with:

"WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED LIFETIME SERVICE WARRANTY :
This warranty covers all defects in workmanship or materials and NORMAL WEAR
items in
this RIDGID tool for the lifetime of the tool. This warranty is specific to
this tool
purchased between 9/1/03 and 12/31/03. Warranties for other RIDGID products
may
vary."

Not as good as it sounds, and I quote from the Ridgid website.

"What is not covered"

"Failures due to misuse, abuse or normal wear and tear are not covered
by this warranty. RIDGE TOOL shall not be responsible for any
incidental or consequential damages."

This means when the thing wears out, breaks, or the batteries stop
holding a charge the they won't cover it. The warranty only covers
defects and workmanship. This isn't like say a Craftsman handtool
warranty.
