Is a warranty useful? I assume that it would cover breakage, but
not anything else. I occasionally break bits, but they are
almost always the small, inexpensive ones.

Lifetime Warranties can be useless, covering only the originally
purchased (and short lived) item, but *not* its replacement. I
learned that scam with some ****ty headlights.
What lifetime?

The shorter of:

a) The lifetime of ink on a slip of paper.
b) Where's that receipt?

Often "the lifetime of the original installation" Translated as
"untill it fails"? or the replacement is "not the original
installation"? Better is "the lifetime of the original owner" Or
"transferable to second owner with notice" Or "Will be replaced if it
EVER breaks" Lifetime warranty against "failure of workmanship or
materials" doesn't really cover much if they can get out of it by
saying it was mis-used or claim "normal wear and tear"

To receive a free replacement, the buyer was required to furnish the
original sales receipt. You can only do that once.
