WMH Tool Group Warranty 

WMH Tool Group makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability 
standards and warrants to the original retail consumer/purchaser of our products that each product be 
free from defects in materials and workmanship as follows: 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON ALL 
PRODUCTS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE. This Warranty does not apply to defects due directly or 
indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, normal wear-and-tear, repair or alterations outside 
our facilities, or to a lack of maintenance. 

WMH TOOL GROUP LIMITS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE, 
BEGINNING FROM THE DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AT RETAIL. EXCEPT AS STATED 
HEREIN, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS ARE EXCLUDED. 
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG THE IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, 
SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL WMH TOOL GROUP 
BE LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, OR FOR INCIDENTAL, 
CONTINGENT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR 
PRODUCTS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY 
TO YOU. 

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned for examination, postage 
prepaid, to an Authorized Service Center designated by our office. Proof of purchase date and an 
explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection discloses a defect, we 
will either repair or replace the product at our discretion, or refund the purchase price if we cannot readily 
and quickly provide a repair or replacement. We will return the repaired product or replacement at WMH 
Tool Group’s expense, but if it is determined there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes 
not within the scope of WMH Tool Group’s warranty, then the user must bear the cost of storing and 
returning the product. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights, which 
vary from state to state. 

WMH Tool Group sells through distributors only. Members of the WMH Tool Group reserve the right to 
effect at any time, without prior notice, alterations to parts, fittings and accessory equipment, which they
