<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ridgid gets around that sort of law
pretty easily - they aren't offering a lifetime <b>warranty</b>,
its a lifetime <b>service contract</b>. Theoretically the same
concept functionally to the end user, but as far as warranty laws
are concerned, completely different.<br>

comments on missing the window to register reminded me of a
little know fact that most people do not know. I know that
in Washington years ago they passed legislation that you do
not have to register any product for warranty. I really do
not remember all of the details other than the Washington
State Attorney General was 100% behind it and as I recall it
had something to do with the manufacturers using the
warranty registration information to bombard you with junk
mail (this was before email) and they sold the data which
increased the junk mail. I have never registered a tool or
anything and have never had any warranty issues with any
reputable firm (Ridgid is not one of those firms, but I have
kicked that horse enough).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";color:windowtext">All of you
may want to see if your states have similar laws on the
books. You also might Google warranty registration
requirements in general. I believe that if the Warranty is
clearly stated as lifetime then it is, period. There should
be no requirement for registration. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
