If you register it (or most any Ridigid tool) and got it from Home Depot, they are guaranteed for life. Batteries by themselves only get a 3 yr. If you buy a tool, everything, batteries included, are covered for life if you register it. I got this sander, and plan to get the orbital saw that comes with the charger and 2 4 Ah batteries. Hope this helps. Thx for the review.
Which one has less vibration, 18v ridgid or the knew variable speed dewalt sander?
