                                      Hi RingtownJoe, Sorry you have been having an issue. If you were not given a reason for the issue you may want to call again and ask what you can do to prevent this in the future. Sorry again you have had an issue. Greg

                                        I had a few problems, but I called the 800 number and they took care of everything.

                                        By|Nov 2, 2018

                                          their online process usually works for me, sometimes they cant cross reference my receipt, so there is an option on the rigid website to reply to the issue it says send in paperwork but also has option to upload a file, which i send the scan of the receipt, that always works, i never have to send in a receipt. at first i was not typing the entire serial number, bur even after i figured that out, i still sometimes have issues. all issues have been worked out. even tho u have to jump thru some hoops, its worth it. also, whenever they replace a tool or battery under LSA, it is up to YOU to call the 800 number and tell them the tool was replaced and provide them the new tools serial number. Ive had Ridgid lifetime tools for 15 years.

                                          Yes Sir, you are correct. They make it such a pain in the butt to register anything. I've had to do the same thing as you. Whole lot of time spent. I think they try to discourage people so they dont have to warranty there tools. I'm getting away from Ridgid for this reason. Going back to Makita, Milwaukee, etc.

                                            Reply to Ridgid Power Tool Team member.....every tool I have tried to register in the last year FAILED the first time. Yes, you have the option to resubmit the receipt and make follow up calls to Ridgid customer service. Which I have done on all these ocassions. My questions to Ridgid are these....Why don't you fix the process so it works the first time? Why is my time of no value that this seems to be acceptable to Ridgid? And after registering 21 Ridgid tools/kits (well over half of them failed the first time) doesn't Ridgid value me as a customer and look into what is broken with the inability of Ridgid to cross reference the receipts and, again, fix what is broken with this process? If you add all of my time with the failed LSA registration and the time wasted (to collect and send an ecopy of the receipts and making follow up phone calls (include being on hold), I have wasted hours of my time! Is this an acceptable way to treat someone who has 21 registered products?

                                                      There is no question for me to answer, however, I do agree with the purchaser who stated "OK flashlight, incredible power from any of the ridgid battery sizes that fit it. Can go for days without recharging. Has only one mode of operation which makes it easy to use". I personally purchased for 4 reasons: (1) LIFETIME SERVICE AGREEMENT if you successfully register the product - good luck! (2) MY EXISTING RIDGID BATTERIES FIT (3) AFFORDABLE PRICE approximately $20 spent (4) ONLY 1 MODE OF OPERATION WHICH EQUALS SIMPLICITY OF USE multi-mode flashlights make me unhappy...I only want "on" & "off", therefore I am very happy with this Ridgid flashlight.

                                                        Yes it does. The registration paperwork is in the package.

                                                            Yes, as long as you register it within the allotted time frame

                                                              It does but good luck with the registration process. I have had EVERY Ridgid tool I purchased in the last year fail thd first time! Then you have to submit a copy of your receipt and wait up to 8 weeks (so you cannot return it) if it fails! I have 21 Ridgid tools/combos and over half of them FAILED making me jump through hoops of resubmitting and calling customer service. Ridgid this is unacceptable! I have submitted my receipt for this light 4 times and still no registration. The process is broken and they will not fix it. If someone from Ridgid posts this as an exaggeration, my next post will have every email of the failures and log of calls to Ridgid customer service as I put them all in a folder called "Why do i bother, but another brand"! By the way, I work as an industrial mechanic for a fortune 100 company and do tool reviews. Every Ridgid tool I review has this issue listed. So I do keep EVERY communication from Ridgid to back up my issues with the LSA registration!

                                                                  By|May 5, 2023

Most all bare tools (-B designation) can be registered (within 90 days, with receipt) for LSA confirmation. Some select vacuums are not bare tool covered and as such only have the 3 yr RYOBI warrantee from RIDGID/TTI.

The flashlight head turns from pointing straight a head to pointing upwards. The Lumens are quite sufficient in the dark to see, in fact too bright to look at directly. The price is the best and with LSA the best again.

I use a 2 cell rayovac pocket light that put this to shame. I thought it was a defective unit and tried a second but it was dismal as well. The previous iteration of RIDGID brand light used a luxeon LED and was more compact and way more aim-able as far as positions. why they changed is a speculation but cost probably has something to do with it.

                                                                                            I wasn’t sure about the durability of this because of its light weight compared my other lithium battery flashlight but no sooner had I removed it from the packaging when it slipped out of my hold and landed on the concrete floor. But my worst fears were unfounded and with the battery in place, it worked as described. I was expecting a heavier flashlight and it took me unawares. It took 30 minutes to charge the lithium 2AH battery (not included) and I clicked the light on and left it overnight. I was in the basement the next day when I caught the light start to flicker and then dim a little and at seventeen and a half hours it went out with the battery drained. I recharged the battery (it was a new one I was using) and again left the light on. This time it was on for two hours longer (almost 20 hours) before it had drained the battery. The flashlight head swivels 180 degrees with the ability to stop the movement anywhere in between, which a handy asset. For effectiveness I would rate this as a 5 star because it illuminated a circle on the garage door some 150 feet at the end of my driveway, but then rated it a 4 star because the light beam is, although very powerful is fixed in a small circle and does not give you that wide area of a good and clear viewing area. Although this flashlight is inexpensive, if you have to purchase a charger and a battery, then I would think it will be quite an expensive outlay for so little gained. But I would recommend buying it only if you own other Ridgit 18v battery tools.

                                                                                            This flashlight is awesome! Its actually brighter than the 4 D cell Maglite! The specs say its 100 lumens, which to me translates to: pretty darn bright! It fits very comfortably in my hand and its not very heavy. My favorite feature, however, is that the light can be rotated to point upwards. This will really handy if you are working on the ceiling, or in a cabinet. The flashlight can be placed on the floor, pointed upwards, and voila!, you can see your work! For what its worth, the beam is fairly intense at the center with a wider area of lower intensity (see the photos attached). That isn't adjustable like a maglite is. I don't see this as a negative, per se, I just thought I would mention it. If you already own the battery, this flashlight is a great deal and should not disappoint!

                                                                                            This is the most useful flashlight I've ever used. I've struggled for years with anything from the cheapest to fairly expensive flashlights, but without a person to hold them and direct the light, using them while trying to use other tools at the same time could be frustrating. This flashlight solves all of those issue. It is lightweight, and the light head swivels 180 degrees so the you can easily set the correct angle. The shape also makes it easy to sit down on any flat surface. I also like that the on/off switch is made into a trigger button like you would have on another tool. There's no awkward button, and this makes it easy to turn on and off with just one hand. The flashlight doesn't come with a battery, but all Rigid 18v tools use an interchangeable battery, so I just grabbed one of the other batteries rather than buying one. It uses an LED bulb that is bright and will last the life of the flashlight, and it has a tool belt hanger that can be easily attached. You won't want to use another flashlight once you try this one. It's now my go-to flashlight and sits within easy reach.

                                                                                            Works great....but do I need it?
                                                                                            I am a huge fan of Ridgid tools, and they really are the only tools I buy, but this light seems a bit unpractical to me. It’s one thing to write about the quality of a product and how well it works, but usability is also a key factor that determines whether or not I purchase a product. I am actually torn on this because of how well the product works, but do I really need it? Here are some of my pros and cons. Design: Once again, Ridgid did a great job with design. It feels just like a drill in your hands, but has a light attached at the end instead of a drill bit. It’s very light and feels good in the hand. Brightness: The LED light is actually very bright. It’s almost more of a spotlight than a flashlight, so I had no problem shining this across my yard that is ¾ of an acre, even while it was raining out. It illuminates very well as it places a strong beam in the middle of the object that it is pointed at, and fades out to a wider circle of light to cover a large area. Function: I like that the head of the light turns so you can aim the beam wherever you need it without holding it. Just set it down and you can work freely. It also comes with a belt clip, so that’s a plus. You also don’t have to hold the trigger in, just click it and it stays on; click it again and it goes off. I also left this light on for 24 hours in the garage just to see how long the battery would last, and it’s still on. I thought it would go out after a few hours, but I’m actually impressed with that. Cons: This light does not come with an 18v battery, so you will need to purchase one separately or use one that you already have for your drill/other tools. It took a month to ship (not sure what that was about)? Practical? I am somewhat torn on where or not I actually need this light in my box. It is very bright, and you can place it and leave it, but you can do the same thing with a clip on mechanics light. If you want to use it, you have to run out and grab the battery, and also charge it back up when finished. I think it would be much easier just to grab a flashlight to take with you. Considering that you will need to buy a battery and knowing what this light cost, I’m just not sure how practical this light is? Summary: All in all, I gave this light 4 stars because of how well it works. It lost one star because I think a half decent flashlight would work just as well, and the battery needs to be purchased separately. Not to mention, shipping time was absolutely ridicules. This toll may come fit your needs more than mine, and that is the reason I would recommend this product. Other than that, you may want to shop around.
