Ridgid R9623 18V 5-Tool Cordless Combo Kit

I don't think where I saw it (pitiful if information technology was an email or comment I hadn't responded to withal!), but someone somewhere recently asked whether it was worth buying Ridgid power tools because of their Lifetime Service Agreement, which – if you register your tools properly – means free batteries, parts, and service.

In my opinion, no. But Ridgid tools are often worth recommending, such as if you're looking for good mid-level cordless power tools that can sometimes compete with the big pro brands while costing less.

Ridgid's ability tool lineup also has some nice innovations yous won't find elsewhere.

In my stance, the Lifetime Service Agreement is just icing on the cake. Or perchance decorations on the frosting? It'due south not something I would personally base a conclusion on.

I wouldn't say the aforementioned thing well-nigh other brands, such as Snap-on. But for power tools, I would choose Ridgid for other reasons.

If push comes to shove, and I couldn't decide between Ridgid and another competitive brand, maybe then the Lifetime Service Agreement would be enough to push button me off the fence.

What practise you call up? And if you have taken advantage of the program (or tried to), what was your experience like?
