Your comment about DTFO's warranty policy is true, it just does not mention Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA). I assume this is because it is an Agreement & not a warranty?
Any call to a DTFO will confirm that Rigid FACTORY BLEMISHED items are eligible for LSA.
While registering the LSA: I suggest that you wait until you get the item*, then...
- Take a screenshot of your order from the DTFO site (assuming you made an account) and use that as your "receipt".
- Register your LSA (which will require you to create an account if you don't have one).
- Upload your "receipt" when given the option to do so.
- The site will tell you to mail your receipt to them to complete your process.
- The workaround (which I HIGHLY SUGGEST) is to call** the General number for LSA (number found at the LSA site) to complete.
- When you call, they may ask what is your username so they can access your account.
- Once they access your account, they can see that your LSA is pending and they can complete the process once they verify your receipt.
If you uploaded your receipt and they can read it, then you will be approved within minutes.If they can not read your receipt (happened to me once***), then you may have you to email it to them.
Stay on the phone with them while you email the receipt.
Once you email it, ask them to see if it is there. If they say no, ask them to check their SPAM.
Having to email takes longer, but once they verify you will be approved.
The process changes slightly if you buy from a DTFO store.
The change is that you will have to scan your receipt (if you can) so you can upload it to LSA.
* You have to wait because part of registering requires you to provide a serial number.
** The site also has a Chat button that should work also (but I have not used it).
*** I once asked why I had to send my receipt through email after it has been already uploaded and was told that some new reps can not see uploaded items.
Never any problem getting DTO under an LSA on blemished items. Upload docs and then chat with the rep.
Here's what DTO states:

RIDGID Warranty Information

The 1/4-20 thread provides a great place to add a D-Ring for a sling or shoulder strap - example D-Ring that does not come off unless you take it off:
