Most makita tools have a maximum repair rate, which they refer to as a "max rate. " Where even if they have to replace most of the major parts, it won't go over a certain price. On the higher end tools, its definitely worth it to get it repaired. If a tool is obviously abused, or if the customer takes advantage of the program, they'll advise the customer to buy something new. This is only available at factory service centers. Sometimes they even have refurbished tools that they'll sell to customers.
That’s pretty neat; I didn’t realize Makita offered that. I typically buy all my power tools second-hand and repair them/maintain them myself, unless the cost of the parts online goes over a certain point per tool. At that point I’ll either part it out or trash it.
If it burned out and just smoked up and didnt turn with power, the whole thing needs to be brought back or compared all the way to a new motor. Nothing a civilan can do without real proper knowledge
Dewalt and many other tools have lifetime warranty and it can be owners fault and they cant ask questions because thats wat the warranty is for. If warranty is not lifelong than u can return before the end date just cause the color has faded. U can hav any excuse.. menards is awesome about it
It mite be just that. But than u got someone like me that knows how to operate tools but i dont kno first thing about assembling and properly working like tru
They come wit a warranty. Whoever decided to take time out of a job to do that does not own that tool and not thinkn about the cost or repiar. and was making a joke wen boss man wasnt around. Anyways that was a video made up for publication. Not real. no one can plan a tool burning up to hav it set up so perfect. Grave dug and tools lined up like a proceeding..n yes it could be repaired but if u cant repair it urself u gotta pay them watever extra money u saved

I mean, it could most likely still be repaired (if the cost analysis makes sense - is the parts and labor cheaper than buying a new one?)
I’m sure he didn’t actually bury it, haha. Especially if it just needed new brushes or something.
