If not, most of those brands carry lifetime warranties so that they can compete with the truck brands. Sunex will (or at least used to) two day ship sockets to you if you told them you had one that was broken and put it in the mail to them. I never broke one though, and most of my 3/4” and 1” drive stuff is either sunex or snap on. Mac warrantied all my proto stuff. One of my snap on guys would warranty my Irwin stuff. Same with powerprobe, knipex, gearwrench, and GP. Some of the stuff isn’t a piece that breaks often. I never broke any of those mayhew prybars, but even if I did, replacing my 36” strike through cost $70, vs snap on’s $160. I actually have both though, because that was my most commonly used, handiest size prybar and I like the snap on one. I never broke or wore out a wera screwdriver, and the snap on full size screw drivers suck anyways. I’m saying that as a big snap on fan too. I’ve had a Wilton sledge hammer that has been “half broke” for years now, but it won’t give up the ghost. When they first came out, they were supposedly backed by a guarantee that if you broke one they would give you $1000.Honestly, warranty on the truck and warranty in store/shipping it in didn’t really matter to me, cause as a field mechanic, If I was 8 hours from the shop/city I couldnt afford to have a tool fail on me either way, and in those situations a better warranty didn’t matter, but ensuring that I had the right tool for the job, that was the best quality possible did matter.</blockquote>
