On oct / 15 / 08 I tried returning a mastercraft jigsaw. I was working with it the day before, after just Using it for a few minutes the whole complete Front unit flew apart.

Problems exercising the Mastercraft warranty. Tool in its orignal kit and box showing 3 yr warranty. A Mastercraft Lifetime Warranty tool that needs. Problems exercising the Mastercraft warranty. Tool in its orignal kit and box showing 3 yr warranty. A Mastercraft Lifetime Warranty tool that needs. MASTERCRAFT TOOL BOX. In Pac Ex Crating Ltd. This auction is live! You need to be registered and approved to bid at this auction. Watch the auction as a guest.

The saw was then ussless. I thought because it was a mastercraft it was Guaranteed for life. Guess i was mistaken. The girl at the return said it was only guarateed For 3 year's. That's funny i alway's thought, and heard matercraft stood behind there product's.

I guess i was wrong. Not to mention the snotty girl said it was only Guaranteed for 3 year's. And was discontinuied. That's olso funny, you do the math, it was dicontinuied in 2005.

This is 2008. Funny that's not 3 year's is it. After this expierence i will not be shopping with Your company ever again. S i'am a contracter and do a lot of job's, but it Will not be with canadian tire product's, or tool's. Just have to share a story although it is not directly related to this complaint. Anyway so I work at a CT in Alberta and its a pretty good job most people are great and honest but there is always that 2% that screw you over no matter where you work. Any so a guy comes in with with an energizer brand car battery wanting to return it with his receipt.

Well we only sell motomaster batteries and have never sold or never will sell energizer brand batteries for cars. So I promptly looked at his receipt and only saw a phone number and address no company logo.

He insisted he bought it at a canadian tire, so I phoned the number and guess what a walmart phone greeting is on the other end. So I explain to him that he did not buy it here or any other canadian tire. He calls me a liar.

This kind of blows me away as I had just phoned the number on the receipt, so I phone ti again and put it on speaker so the idiot can listen to the walmart greeting. He listens and responds 'you must have put someone on the other end up to that, I know I bought it at canadian tire'.

With a long line forming I ask him to leave as he is being an idiot and he can phone customer relations. Moral of the story dont believe all the complaints you read here. I also work at the customer service desk at Canadian Tire and I must respond to the complaint that has been given. If a customer just picks up the box, he will find on the outside of the box of all Mastercraft power tools, the warranty is clearly stated. The common misconception is that all Mastercraft has a lifetime warranty. That is not the case. That is the case for hand tools.

So first of all, if the complainer knew how to read, he would have understood the warranty on the product. Secondly, in order for any product to be guaranteed, the customer must keep their receipt. I can gather by this incoherent rambling, that our complainer clearly did not have his. This will show the customer service representative at the desk when the product was purchased and they can verify whether the product is still under its warranty or not. Without the receipt there is very little that can be done because, how would the service desk representative know you're not just another jack knob returning something they abused and that is way beyond the warranty period. Finally, you, Mr.

Complainer, seem like a real pleasant individual to work with. (That is sarcasm, should you understand the definition of this word.) Your suggestion that because your return was not possible, given the policies she must follow, makes her a snotty girl, suggests to me that you already had an opinion about her and an attitude of intolerance because you are somehow better than her in your mind. It is likely that this girl is only there to make money for her education, much like myself, and she is likely to someday turn out to be your boss. This is a comment based on your lack of sentence structure and improper grammar, which just told me you're not that smart.

Before you make yourself out to be better than anyone else, please try and exercise your brain somewhat and formulate a rational argument. This again proves to me that though customers always think they are right, they often are not. Often times they're not only wrong, but they are ###s as well. Thank you for another confirmation of that. The guy is a contractor, so he beats the hell out of the tool for 3 years and finally it breaks down due to normal wear and tear and he actually expects the warranty to take care of that?

In case he doesn't know, the warranty is against D E F E C T S not normal wear and tear or abuse! This is besides the fact the tool was out of warranty etc. I challenge our illiterate complainer friend to find a power tool with a written life time warranty that will cover home use as well as commercial use. Good luck buddy.

I also had an issue with Mastercraft customer care; my plunging router, which I had for maybe 4 years, stopped working a few weeks ago. Even if it has been working only 7-8 hours during those 4 years, I knew that the waranty was only 3 years.

No problem, I am quite handy and found out that the problem was with the brushes, a $5 part easy to replace. So I called their toll-free number to purchase a pair of brushes and I was answered that they recently changed the model and they don't carry spare parts for my model, as it is discontinued. So when you buy MASTERCRAFT tools, don't expect them to last more than waranty! If any cheap part breaks, you can't fix and have to buy a new one.

(what about ENVIRONMENT?????) It's like having to discard your '67 Mustang because they don't make mufflers for this car any more!!! I had just bough a $150 Mastercraft nailer a few weeks ago; I put it back in the box, returned it and got refunded; NO MORE MASTERCRAFT TOOLS FOR ME! Twice i paid cash for dewalt drill set and just recently a mastercraft sump pump this adds up to about five hundred dollars in cash, both broke before there warranty ran out, i misplace the receipt on both items, when i tried to return the products the same excuse was used. ' i can not accept them because i would be out the amount from the company' by the management.

So now i am a thief, so the motto is this, dont pay cash, dont lose or misplace your receipt. Dont buy from Canadian Tire Store in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada, never never never deal with the store. They will treat you like a thief even on there own product. In front of customers,. How is Canadian Tire supposed to know the Dewalt drill was 'theirs'? Dewalt products are sold by many stores, if it was a Canadian Tire branded item then sure you may have a point.but how is the staff supposed to know when the drill was bought?

Say the drill was bought 5 years ago and had a 3 year warranty, without proof they would never get compensation from Dewalt. I don't know how paying cash makes a difference unless you keep credit card statements for years.but I sort of doubt that since it appears that you can't keep receipts very long either.
