Questions & Answers
To receive a lifetime service agreement, you must buy from Home Depot.
No, it only uses one Nd and can be used with any 18v Ridgid battery. With this tool, the 9ah batteries last quite a while.
I have no idea. My Ridgid Jig Saw is, without a doubt, excellent.
Unfortunately, China, like everything else, is no exception.

The tool is excellent, but I discovered that purchases made through Amazon are not covered by the Ridgid lifetime warranty. This fantastic warranty is only available if you buy their tools from Home Depot. Instead, I went back to Home Depot and purchased something.
I have a collection of cordless tools from Ridgid and DeWalt. Ridgid is a fantastic value for money tool. In addition, it is extremely long-lasting. To follow the line with my jig saw, I needed a good dust blower. I'm currently cutting and blowing. I should have spent a little more on the DeWalt.
This tool has a strong hold on me. I've had a Bosch corded jigsaw for years and love it, but having a cordless tool with similar capabilities and the ability to pick it up and cut makes small jobs a lot easier. I recently finished a mudroom remodel in which this tool was put to the test and performed admirably. I strongly suggest it, especially if you own other Ridgid 18-volt tools.
However, there is no warranty because a third party can only warranty a ridgid if it was purchased from ridgid or Home Depot. If I had known, I would have paid the extra $20 for a warranty on the tool. This is why I buy ridgid tools in the first place. This is something to keep in mind before making a purchase.
Because of the low price, I purchased this product on Amazon and used it for about a month before discovering that a portion of the blade replacement bracket was broken. Unfortunately, it could not be exchanged with Amazon. I've attempted to contact Ridgid about the return twice and have yet to receive a response. I went back to Home Depot and purchased another one because I liked how well it worked on my wood projects. I assumed I could return it to Home Depot after purchasing it from Amazon, but this was not the case. I like the tool, but I'm not happy with Ridgid's customer service.
I'm a 38-year-old woman who enjoys doing home renovations and DIY projects. On a pocket door, I used this to carve out a rectangle. It's not too heavy and has plenty of power. I'm glad I chose this one because I already own a lot of Rigid products and didn't need to purchase a battery.
I used to love ridged when they were all corded, and I still do now that they have 18 volt batteries. br>The saw is great with variable speed and is easy to hold and handle. br>Excellent addition to my ridged collection.
The company I bought it from is unable to provide a rigid warranty because they have not been approved as a dealer by rigid. As a result, they will not allow me to add it to my warranty account.
