Repair Cost Limit applies for tool repairs performed outside of our two-year warranty period. In these instances, if you request a tool repair, you can expect to spend no more than 33% of the cost of a new tool equivalent.

We offer two ways to return a tool for repair. You can choose to drop off the tool yourself, or have the tool picked up from a commercial office or warehouse location. 

We know you work on tight deadlines, and with tool repair pick-up, we can help provide an easier repair process. Avoid driving around or waiting in lines by scheduling a repair pick-up from your office, warehouse or jobsite for as early as the next business day.

If you select to have the repair picked up, a shipping label will be provided by the carrier. If you chose to drop off the tool, a shipping label will be sent by email and can be used to ship the tools.

Carefully follow all packing instructions when shipping one of our tools. Improper handling can result in delayed shipments or UPS fines. If you have the tool kit box available, you can ship directly in the kit box without the need for additional packaging materials, as long as there are no batteries in the kit box.

To remain in compliance with the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Lithium-ion batteries that are greater than 300 watt-hours (Wh) must only be shipped by persons who are trained, equipped, and designated as HazMat shippers.
