  1. Life time warrenty

    in Ridgid

    Is it just me or does rigid seem to make u jump through to many hoops just get the life time warranty. I don't know it just seems to turn off to their products.

    You must provide the proof of purchase for the lifetime service. I can understand the reasoning behind having to provide the proof of purchase, there are many stolen items out there so why would a company want to offer warranty to someone that did not pay for the tool.

  2. Why oh why Prop 65?!?!?

    in Ryobi

    Posted

    So I've been eyeing the Ryobi One+ Inflator and lights.  They seem like great tools that I could definitely use.  Then I go to read the fine print and both of them and the batteries that make them go have Prop 65 warnings!

     

    I know the easy answer is, wash your hands, wear gloves and don't let the wee ones near the tools, but that's just not the way my life works these days.  I can't tell you the number of times my daughter has been through my everyday tool bag asking me what each pair of pliers and each screwdriver is used for.

     

    So what gives?  Why does Ryobi feel the need to use toxic $*%# in their tools?  TTI doesn't seem to do that with their Milwaukee tools.  Seems like half of the manufacturers don't give a damn about toxic chemicals (I'm looking at you, oh so tempting RIDGID tool boxes with lead in the handle rubber).

     

    With the two little ones walking about whenever I'm working, it's just not worth the risk exposing them.

     

    Has anyone else run into this?  Any suggestions other than vigilance for avoiding stuff you don't want ending up in your two year old's mouth (not that I really want it on my hands either or want to remember to have to wash my hands every time I pick up a screwdriver or inflate a ball).

    The warning that you referenced is required in accordance with California’s Proposition 65.  A Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements. This product has been thoroughly tested, is safe for consumer use, and meets all required industry standards.  Many consumer products that are sold in California are required to make this warning available to consumers.  For more information concerning Proposition 65 please visit the following website:
