I really "like" the lifetime warranty. You just send them back to the
company and they will send you a new one. Only problem is the tools are
from 4 to 6 bucks. It will cost that much to send them back, especially if
you count your gas and time for anything.


....and is totally useless if one lives 100+ miles from nearest store
or return point and needs the now-broken tool RIGHT NOW. I was a
working mechanic in jes that situation once before and am now in a
similar situation (remote). Better to pay the extra $4-6 or even
$5-10 up front and have a quality dependable tool to begin with.

I always try to have backup tool sets.
