Warranties for Your Makita Tools
Power tools are an indispensable component of any skilled worker's trade, but when they break, he is often left without the necessary items to accomplish his work. Many tool operators do not understand that they do not need to repair their devices themselves, but that their devices can be fixed by warranties. This article researches the different warranties of the three major power tool manufacturers: Makita, Bosch, and Dewalt.
Carpenter, janitor, maintenance worker, or just family handyman? It doesn't matter who you are, you use power hand tools. And one of the great things about these tools is that, although expensive, they come with great warranties. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that their tools can have warranties that last from one to three years or, as in the case of Craftsman tools, the may even be covered by a lifetime warranty. It is important for you to know that the leading brands for power tools have warranties and to be familiar with them in case you need to get a tool repaired.
You may be left to squander a lot of money on Makita, Dewalt, or Bosch on your tools when you should be getting the tool fixed with warranty and not pay an arm and a leg. Warranties are not foolproof though, like if you drop your device in water or if you really want to have some additional parts accessible. In this article, we will investigate the warranties of brands of some of the most well-liked lines of tools currently on the market: Makita, Bosch and Dewalt.
The Makita website contains warranty information. Every device they design comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The 30-day satisfaction guarantee promises that if a purchaser of a device is displeased with the device for any reason, they can return or exchange the device within 30 days of the purchase date. The 1-year warranty covers the device for faults in the manufacturing of the tool for one year from the purchase date. If your Makita device is still under warranty, you can take it to an recognized service center or mail it in to the factory and Makita will fix it.
The really great thing about Makita tools is that if something happens to your tool, they have a full service center where you can send your tools for repair. Often when tools break, people try to diagnose the problem and fix the tool themselves. This can be bad for two reasons: one-being unfamiliar with Makita parts you could break the tool further and two-you could void the warranty. The warranty only covers tools that are not damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, that have not been altered in any way, and that have not been misused or abused. If this is the case and your warranty is no longer valid, you will probably have to purchase the Makita parts on your own in order to repair it.
Information on the Bosch website shows that they offer a very similar warranty and guarantee to that of Makita. New Bosch tools have a 30-day money back satisfaction guarantee and a one year warranty on service and Bosch parts. Similar stipulations apply to the Bosch warranty as they do with Makita. The warranty is void if the tool has been: "misused, carelessly handled, or mis repaired by persons other than Seller or Authorized Service Station". By filing a claim you must return the tool to an authorized service center or to Bosch and they will repair the tool and replace any Bosch parts free of charge. If you void the warranty or the tool is out of warranty you may purchase the Bosch replacement parts and repair the tool yourself or take it to a repair center and pay for the repair and Bosch parts out of pocket.
Dewalt tools are covered by 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 tools 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 valuable warranty for Dewalt users to find out about because during the first year if anything happens to the tool, Dewalt will replace and install the Dewalt parts free of charge. Dewalt also provides free maintenance and service on Dewalt parts for an entire year. After that, the device and Dewalt parts are covered from craftsmanship faults for another two years.
Whatever tools you own and use, remember that it's essential to know the warranty you have on your device. Service and replacement parts can be costly and it can save you a lot of money and time to have it repaired while it's under warranty.
