Factory blemished do qualify for LSA. Pre-owned tools do not.

Makes sense with the additional warranty info for the CPO tools. BTW, are you familiar with how imperfect these blemished tools are?

I don't know how bad the blemishes are, sometimes it is just the box being blemished but it is clearly a "YMMV" issue.

I have bought the ~$15 Ryobi listed by the OP from that vendor, and it was indeed like new, with the blade - although not omg quality - actually being new and sharp. I've actually paid $11.99 for it and had FS...

I've ordered two or three Ridgid tools from Direct Tools and never noticed anything wrong with them.

I have ordered 2 or 3 "blemished" Ridgid tools from them as well. I swore they were brand new. Got LSA on all but 1 which is still pending but I expect to be added at any point now.

Bought many Ryobi factory blemished tools from them, they looked 100% new and perfect. Rumor has it they are perfect, the term is just used to sell "new" tools while Home Depot has the exclusive contract.

Certainly gives me a lot of confidence so many people were getting good product from this site, looking forward for my saw to get delivered. I ordered the 6.5" saw before the 7.25" became available, so I'm slightly conflicted if I should opt for the more standard size. But at least the smaller one will have a magnesium base.

The 18volt gen 5x is one of the more disappointing Ridgid 18v tools - slow to spin up and not a lot of power. It's more a "use occasionally" versus "use all the" time tool. (My opinion is based on owning it.)

Hi dTor,

I ordered from DTO for the first time. When I registered for LSA, it asked me to snail-mail in the receipt. Did you have to do that to get LSA approved?

I got 2 LSA submissions from my Home Depot purchasers. I only needed to upload a screenshot of the order confirmations

I saw that, but I just took a screenshot of my orders and upbraided them. Ridgid accepted them.

I placed an order 7 days ago and it is still "processing" but the cc has been charged. I sent an email to customer service but haven't heard back either. So any luck getting stuff shipped from them recently ?
