Where do I stand???

[crank39]

Why has his chuck worn out and mine hasn't?

Faulty chuck clearly!

A lifetime guarantee doesn't mean it's guaranteed for you life you know.

Life in this context means the length of time of existence of the model and it's replacement parts. As for "fair usage", which seems a reasonable point, the question is where is the working definition of the length of time that this refers to? If DeWalt hasn't got this stated anywhere, then it hasn't got a leg to stand on and has to honour the 12 month warranty.

Because yours is still in the original packaging and hasn't been used at all.

Ahh, so you think because of his gripe,

The funny thing is... the poor b*stard didn't even have a gripe.

He was just asking.

That will teach him.

Where is he anyway? Baled out if he's got any sense.

So if I get a draper or some other budget drill and wear it out in a few hours I can keep taking it back and getting new ones even though it is only made for light use?

You are all wrong (as usual). Joe-90 kicks ass.

I thought that was the sort of tool you'd be used to Joe.

In your own mind (as usual)

 

[crank39]

But where does it say the deWalt was for light use only?

 

[joe-90]

Why does it have to? He wore it out. Get over it.

 

[crank39]

Because it has to! It broke well before it was expected to, its under warranty. Get over it! (He won't)

 

[joe-90]

It hasn't broken due to a manufacturing defect. He's simply worn it out. Get over it.

 

[crank39]

Who says its a manufacturing defect, no ones inspected it!

 

[joe-90]

So why are you arguing then?

 

[Dextraneous]

It hasn't broken due to a manufacturing defect. He's simply worn it out. Get over it.

Nope. That's the manufacturer's problem since they haven't stated their limitation of usage within the warranty period.

The only ass you have kicked is your own, as per norm.

 

[crank39]

Whos arguing, thought i was debating?

 

[joe-90]

I bet you do a lot of that.
