In regards to the lifetime warranty, not worth the paper it's written on.  Doesn't cover normal wear and tear only manufacture defects which they would expect to see in the first 90 days according to the ridgid website.  Also be very careful with the registration process as following every instruction such as the original upc symbol off the box.  With that said and talking to a ridgid rep. I'm still going to purchase a ridgid shop vac because of the price and the great reviews.

Not sure if I'm loosing my mind or what the problem is.  I have never had such trouble trying to reply to a topic/post.  My first complete post was lost and I was unable to get the quote feature to work.  (BD110)

Down2Earth,

 Have you ever followed the instructions for sending a battery in for replacement?  If so did the system fail?

 

The reason I ask is I own two sets of Ridgid tools that I have followed the instructions and have the batteries covered for lifetime replacement.  I can't figure out why a Home Depot sales person would tell you the batteries are covered for life if that would not be the case.

I would like to know if anyone else has an opinion about this better yet if they have had trouble or not while trying to get a covered battery replaced.  My Ridgid batteries have been working so well that I have not had to test the system.

Take care,

Tom (BD110)

I wasn't talking about the lifetime battery replacement.  I was speaking to the lifetime warranty on the product.  Make sure you register the replacement batteries.

Thanks for the reply, now I'm on the same page as you. Hopefully I won't be testing the battery replacement anytime soon!!  But you can bet I will register any replacement batteries when that happens. 

Take care,

No problem Tom.  I just don't want anyone here taking it in the rear end.  It shouldn't be this hard. A guy sees lifetime warranty and should just be able to walk into the store and exchange it no questions asked.  I walk into Sears with a craftsman ratchet busted (yeah maybe I shouldn't have added a pipe to the end of it) replaced no receipt no questions just go grab a new one.  I walk into menards with a 6 year old tool shop tape measure no receipt go grab another same with a big screwdriver I used as a pry bar.  They opened the whole set just to give me the big one out of it.  With Ridgid you should be able to walk into the depot and grab a new one.....oh no you better make sure you crossed every T and dotted every I on that warranty registration.  Either that or stop putting a lifetime warranty on it.  Scam
