retailer may offer more attractive warranty terms to mitigate some of

may need to factor in the cost of your time should frequent trips to the
shop be needed to acquire a warranty replacement.


You make it sound as if all budget tools will fail after a year or so. 6
years ago I bought a ｣15 Power Devil to drill pilot holes so I would not be
changing drills. It still works.

I did chose my words carefully... hence "*if* a tool breaks...." rather
than "when". I was trying to avoid giving the impication that it will
fail, but at the same time wanted to point out the implications of what
happens shoul it fail. However feel free to suggest an alternative form
of words.
