Snap-on no guarantee? (NAC)

[R Mangas]

Taken from the Snap-On Website FAQ, Canadian version:


"For SNAP-ON=AE brand torque wrenches and BLUE-POINT=AE brand meters and po=
wer
tools, and for all other SNAP-ON=AE brand and BLUE-POINT=AE products not
specifically mentioned above, the duration of the warranty period is
supplied with the product, but in no event is the warranty period for more
than one year from the date of the original purchase."

Robert
