Community Reviews
This Ridgid 18V subcompact brushless 1/2-inch impact wrench kit stands out as a compact, lightweight option for wheel swaps and other car work. It has enough power for passenger-car lug nuts, non-frozen fasteners, and even some corroded bolts, while the smaller size makes it easier to reach for than heavier impacts. The kit price is also described as one of the better recent brushless subcompact deals. The main caution is warranty confusion, since the listing shows a 3-year warranty and the Lifetime Service Agreement still depends on registration within 90 days.
Common Questions (5)
The kit is covered by Ridgid's standard 3-year limited warranty. It can also qualify for the Lifetime Service Agreement if you register it within 90 days of purchase, including DTO or Home Depot purchases.
It is rated at 250 lb-ft and may feel weaker than mid- or high-torque impacts on tougher jobs. For lighter automotive work, though, it still removes lug nuts and is favored for its compact, lightweight form.
Yes. It can remove passenger-car lug nuts and is described as perfect for swapping wheels, even on vehicles around 129 lb-ft. It may hammer longer than mid- or high-torque impacts, but the smaller, lighter size makes it easier to use often.
$99 shipped is described as the lowest price seen in the last 12 months for a brushless subcompact kit, though DTO pricing and shipping have varied between free, $5, and $15. Earlier tools-only pricing was reported at $71, so this is a solid but not absolute floor.
It has enough power for non-frozen, non-rusted fasteners on cars and a commercial mower, and it has also worked on heavily corroded exhaust bolts. For heavily seized hardware, it may need longer hammering than larger impacts.

As far as "blemished" goes, every single blemished Ridgid tool I have gotten is brand new.
With that said, you're still eligible with the Lifetime Service Agreement, which requires you to register the item within 90 days of your purchase (from DTO or Home Depot). This is totally optional but obviously most of us have chosen Ridgid simply because of LSA.
Edit:
This is the web page that gives you more accurate info about LSA and the 3-year warranty: https://register.ridgid

Once I get my delivery next week, I'll have it registered and update you.
For your reference, I bought the job site fan back in March. I was able to get LSA. The current product page is consistent with your observation, with 3 year warranty and no mentioning of LSA.
