I guess DTO isn't the best at math. In my order from last week the 40% sale, the impact is listed as 120$ marked 40% off the 199 regular price. Today the 80$ price is listed as 50% off the 160 regular price. I get marketing, I get "sales" I still hate it. I don't regret buying this previously at 120 as I've needed it for a year. I have several other Ridgid tools, a couple other Ridgid impacts and this is useful when pulling a pinion gear or larger truck lug nuts that someone over torqued.

A lot of people don't want/can't justify paying for top tier but also don't want cheap garbage. Ridgid is the brand for folks like that. I used to be a fan of Kobalt, but their deals are so sporadic and vary based on location that it can be frustrating. Hercules new brushless line up intrigues me, but until they've proven themselves Ridgid is king in this market. The LSA is just the icing on the cake.
There's really few problems with LSA, as long as people follow through on the registration. And when the batteries wear out, all batteries eventually do, a simple phone call gets new ones sent on their way.
Factory Blems from DTO can be registered for the LSA. There's even a DTO selection on the registration form for where it was purchased. And even though it says to mail in the receipt, I've always just uploaded it and if the registration hasn't processed in a few weeks, just send them a note asking them to review it and it goes right through.

just wait until they put the lugs back on with it too...
Have a link for these two batteries, or was a store only purchases
And time machine lol
Factory blems from Direct Tools Outlet are indistinguishable from new. They probably are new overstock, just being sold as "blemished" as an excuse to be at the outlet store and so Home Depot doesn't have to price match them.
I currently use the mid torque on my cars and havent had an issue where I needed more. Was able to remove Harmonic Balancer on a 20 year old honda.
I just dont know when / where I would actually need this.

How were you able to get it off with the mid torque? I had the ridgid mid torque with the fat socket, couldn't get it off, the high torque took it off in about 2 seconds
Well I guess I should have specifically asked the price match question. I asked about partially canceling an order and was told I couldn't so they cancelled the whole thing. Sacrificed the stapler for nothing!

Just called and got right in ... the CSR informed me that they NEVER price match and refused to do it.
