I was at Home Depot today, and there was a sales rep from Ridgid Tools today. He was giving out 10% rebate forms, and he claims that Ridgid powertools have a lifetime warranty if you register them on-line. He claimed that if you have problems with the tools, all you have to do is bring it to a service center to be replaced.

Does anyone have any experience with Ridgid Tools? I'm paritcularly interested in their 18 volt cordless drill. The batteries for my cordless drills usually last no more than 2 years, and it's never worth getting new batteries, so I generally buy a new drill every 2 years. If Ridgid replaces the batteries when they die, the drill would be well worth the $189 minus the 10%.

Thanks for any opinions!!
