ROTFLMAO



You might be surprised that these type stores, Sam's Club, Cosco, are
not authorized dealers for much of anything. For the most part you
are on your own for warranty repairs on most every thing that they
sell, unless you buy their service contract.

You buy it from those stores and it is up to you and the manufacturer
to remedy any problems. If I buy from either I expect to handle any
problems with the product on my own. Been there, done that.


Most tool companies don't give a crap where you bought their tool if
it's new-in-the box.
When you register it with their warranty department, as long as you have
a receipt showing it was bought new, they will register the warranty. I
bought a new-in-box saw at a flea market once and the company honored
the purchase.

But more specific to the topic, ALL Dewalt tools purchased at ANY
retailer, including Costco and Sams, are covered under Dewalts
warranties, according to their customer service. More old wives tales,
as is par for the course in here.
