    I have a lifetime warranty on the caps, which means it will be a lifetime warranty, so I think I'll take them ?

    And I have a Forge and I don't complain. Maybe admittedly they are not as elegant as the western ones but I helped with loosening with a hammer and the breams did not crack. Only the cover is plastic welded rubbish but the keys are OK.

    A lifetime warranty is a joke for tools. Because what, the cap will break after 5 years, will they replace it with a new one? After all, it will be easier to say that it broke because of too much force and the warranty does not cover it.
    If someone gives you such a lifetime guarantee in writing, you may use it, if that guarantor will still exist in a year, five or ten years.
    After a year, the bent eye of the forge company broke and when I gave it to the store for a complaint (it cost over PLN 25), the seller almost laughed. He shot at the bend by simply unscrewing the screw, which I consider a factory defect, but the seller had a different opinion. :)
    In addition, you will remember in 10 years where you have a receipt or invoice for the purchased keys ??

    If the warranty is to be lifetime, it must work without the need for proof of purchase. When after 10 years the seams on the backpack straps ripped open (they give 30 years warranty on backpacks and bags) Jansport, I sent it directly to the manufacturer and after a week I had a backpack with new, original straps. Nobody asked about the receipt or the invoice - I didn't have them or I have them, but I don't know where (besides, what proof of purchase would be useful for, after all, the proof of purchase is the advertised item itself!). However, few support it, for example Jansport, Targus, but this is another industry, although it shows that you can take care of the customer even after 10 years. Go after 5 years and advertise the tool somewhere without proof of purchase ;)
    :D

    Well, with this guarantee, the tools will agree with you ? no, but if the manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty, expect them to withstand their ?

    From the cheaper Sata. Come on Honiton, King Tony, Bahco, Gedore.
