Power Tool Warranty

Power Tool Warranty

By:


Have you ever been in the middle of an important project or work order when your tool seems to blow up? No matter who you are, you know how frustrating it is to have an expensive tool that you depend on let you down. So what do you do now? Many people open up the tool and try to repair it themselves. But there is a much easier and often, less expensive way! Leading power tool brands generally cover their tools with a one to three year warranty and some, like Craftsman, guarantee a lifetime warranty. It is important to be up to date about these warranties so that if something does happen to your tools, you won't spend unnecessary time and money repairing them.

You may be left suander a lot of money on Makita, Dewalt, or Bosch on your tools when you should be having the tool fixed under warranty and not pay an arm and a leg. Warranties won't cover everything, like if you drop your mechanism in water or if you only want to have some back-up parts on hand. In this article, we will sift through the warranties of brands of several of the most reliable kinds of tools available today: Makita, Bosch and Dewalt.

The Makita website delivers warranty information. Every mechanism they design arrives with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The 30-day satisfaction guarantee states that if a purchaser of a mechanism is dissatisfied with the mechanism for any reason, they can bring back or exchange the mechanism within 30 days of the purchase date. The 1-year warranty covers the mechanism for faults in the manufacturing of the tool for one year from the purchase date. If your Makita mechanism is still under warranty, you can take it to an recognized repair center or mail it in to the factory and Makita will fix it.

Before you do anything rash in disassembling your tool and attempting to fix it yourself, send it to Makita, where people who specialize in Makita tools will save you the hassle. The people who work at Makita designed the tool and will know how to repair it without making the problem worse. This is especially important to remember if your tool is still under warranty. Unfortunately, not all damage is covered by the Makita warranty. The warranty is void if the damage is a result of normal wear and tear, if the tool has been altered in any way, if the tool has been abused or misused, or if someone who was unauthorized tried to repair it. In these cases you will have to either buy the Makita parts and repair or pay for the repairs yourself.

The Bosch warranty, as shown on the website, is nearly exactly the same as the Makita warranty. One difference, however, is the Bosch 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If within thirty days, you are not completely satisfied with your tool, Bosch will give you your money back. Otherwise, the Bosch warranty stipulates that if the tool has been "misused, carelessly handled, or misrepaired" then the warranty is void. In order to have your Bosch tool repaired under warranty, you have to send or take it to Bosch or one of its authorized service centers. Otherwise, if you no longer are covered by the warranty, you can buy the parts and fix it or pay for it to be fixed at a service center yourself.

Dewalt tools have longer warranties than Makita and Bosch. Dewalt tools have a three year warranty covering the tool and Dewalt parts from faults in material workmanship. Dewalt products also gives a one year free service warranty that allows Dewalt to maintain tools and replace Dewalt parts that are worn from normal use, during the first year of purchase. This is a vital warranty for Dewalt users to find out about because during the first year if anything breaks for any reason, Dewalt will replace and install the Dewalt parts without charge. Dewalt also provides free maintenance and repair on Dewalt parts for an entire year. After that, the mechanism and Dewalt parts are covered from craftsmanship faults for another two years.

Whatever tools you own and use, consider that it's important to know the warranty you have on your mechanism. Service and replacement parts can be expensive and it can save you a lot of money and time to have it repaired while it's under warranty.
