In 1979, I bought a B&D Industrial 4" angle grinder. Paid a princely sum of $39.99. Came with a repair guarentee that if it ever needed repair, they would fix it 1/2 half the cost of a new one. Last week, l let magic smoke out cutting a steel bath tub in half. Went by DeWalt service center today to get it repaired. Tech immediately told me no parts were available, and he would sell me a NEW DeWalt for X amount, which is more than either Lowes, or HD want for a new one. No thanks. Came home, went online and got needed parts numbers, then called DeWalt Service center. Though not all in stock, they were all readily available. Told tech on phone that she and tech I had dealt with earlier needed to decide who was lying, as their stories were completely different. FYI, this grinder morphed into a DeWalt 402. The parts numbers for needed parts are exactly the same. Basically, DeWalt doesn't want to put over $100 worth of parts, plus labor into a grinder that will only cost me around $50 to have repaired. This was the first "quality" tool I ever bought. Beware when dealing with DeWalt Service center, as they only want to sell you a new tool, not service the one you have.
