All these manufacturers still using cylindrical instead of prismatic cells but charge high prices still and Milwaukee wants $150 just to buy the charger for their forge marketing battery stuff.
If they bundle batteries/chargers into every deal, some folks are upset (because they don't want another battery or charger). If they don't bundle batteries and/or chargers, others get upset because they are just starting out their Ridgid collection.
Manufacturers can't make everyone happy

You have to take the broken tool to an authorized service contractor, in person. And unless you live in a major metropolitan area, they are far and few between. Mine was a two hour drive away. Was NOT allowed to mail the tool.
I checked the reviews for that service center, and they had utterly horrible ratings. People waiting months for a repair, not being repaired correctly, etc.
After calculating the total cost to get it repaired -- two separate days off work with an 8 hour total travel time, fuel, etc....it was massively cheaper for me to throw the broken tool in the trash and simply buy a new one. Not factoring in the personal hassle of the entire endeavor -- or missing out on the tool for many weeks either!
Ridgid absolutely knows what they're doing.
(That's not to say they don't make a decent product -- some of their stuff is pretty nice. I have a few pieces still to this day. But I wouldn't count on the LSA to be worth any more than a roll of Charmin!)
