While today’s manufacturing may put less emphasis on durability, there are still a handful of products that carry lifetime guarantees, which go above and beyond standard retailer return policies or 1-year warranties. DeWalt offers a limited lifetime warranty on mechanic’s tools as well as consumer-use hand tools provided they were purchased directly or from an authorized reseller. They also have a limited lifetime warranty on tape measures and hand tools, excepting “consumable goods” like blades or screwdriver bits. Husky-branded tools from Home Depot have a lifetime warranty, though their website advises you to call or visit a store for particulars. Why Lifetime Doesn’t Always Mean Lifetime There’s no official legal standard for what the lifetime means in a lifetime warranty.
