Cordless Impacts: What To Get?

[Mojoe]

You're correct...I wasn't considering the value of the warranty. But I'm seeing 3 year warranty not lifetime.

 

Here it is. I have never seen anything saying three year.

Also, their shop vacs are all lifetime, without registration for warranty. All tools must be registered within 30 days of purchase. It is not a difficult task. The first one took learning the site and what info was needed from the receipt. I have 5 tools now registered, it's pretty easy.

This 3-Year Limited Warranty begins from the date of purchase shown by a valid receipt. If a valid receipt is not available, the 3 year limited warranty period begins from the date of manufacture on originally purchased equipment.

 

This is if you do not register the tool. Maybe you got it from someone, and this would be a reason for this to be the limit of the warranty. But, why would you buy it and not register for the warranty?

 

 

Lifetime Service Agreement

 

The original purchaser of an eligible product may elect to register for a free Lifetime Service Agreement. To accept this Lifetime Service Agreement, you must register your product and submit proof of purchase for processing approval as described below.

Again...understood. My livelihood doesn't depend on my tools. I'm pretty sure I stated above that the HF was a good fit for my particular use case. I then went on to explain it's shortcomings in my opinion and how I'm looking to purchase a better unit to work with the wheels on my new car. The first one lasted 4 years and I've had my current unit for 2 years. For someone who doesn't depend on these things on a daily basis I still stand by my opinion that it's a good bargain option.

 

Fair enough.

If anyone is still on the market for any Milwaukee M18 tools, Ohio Power Tool is doing 100.00 trade-ins if you bring in a tool and 2 batteries over 14.4V does n't matter what it is, as long as it's over 14.4.
