I recall a few years ago that how one purchases a tool may also impact on Warranty. There was a community member who bought a domestic tool for personal use at home on their Bunnings PowerPass Account. As this account is set up for ‘professional trade customers’ and the warranty associated with the tool was for DIY/domestic applications, Bunnings refused the warranty claim as they could only assume that the tool was bought for professional purposes as it was bought using one of their ‘professional trade customers’ accounts.
The thread which discussed this particular issue possibly also contains information relevant to the above discussion.
(Bunnings, Powerpass automatically invalidates your warranty for products not deemed trade, by staff)
Other tool manufacturers also has domestic and commercial ranges. Bosch blue and green… and Ryobi once did as well.
