Ridgid warranty for power tools
The short version
Ridgid covers power tools in full for life, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 45 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Ridgid's published warranty, checked October 2026.
