Ridgid sells the R86012B impact wrench on the 18V Octane platform through Home Depot. The Lifetime Service Agreement covers the tool and battery for as long as you own them, which matters on a high-draw tool like an impact wrench where batteries take punishment.
Ridgid 18V Octane Platform
Runs on any Ridgid 18V battery. The Octane 6.0Ah battery is recommended for impact wrench use. The Lifetime Service Agreement covers both tool and battery if registered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement really free?
Yes. Register the tool on Ridgid's website within 90 days of purchase with your receipt. They cover free replacement of the tool and batteries for as long as you own it. The catch: Home Depot exclusive, and registration is mandatory.
How does Ridgid compare to DeWalt and Milwaukee impact wrenches?
Less torque than both (450 ft-lbs vs 700+), but the Lifetime Service Agreement tips the value equation. If you burn through batteries or work the tool hard, free replacements add up fast.
