They asked if I want the "replacement warranty"
It was 20 or 30 bucks.
They said anything goes wrong within two years and they'd replace it for free.
I used it then put staybil in it and stored it.
When I went to use it this spring it wouldn't started( I think a sensor was bad)
Anyway I carried it back and they pulled up the purchase and called the warranty company.
They said your Mfg warranty is good for two years and the "replacement warranty" will take over once the Mfg warranty expires.
We call champion and the closest warranty station was in OKC.(2hrs away)
So pretty much BS on the " replacement warranty"

Ya, I won't buy any thing like that from TSC any more. I got screwed on and IR air comp like that. Luckily when I called IR directly they took care of it. When you walk in there the majority of the time you get some one who doesn't know jack squat about jack squat... its like Academy... you better know what your doing when you walk in so you can guide them to the light.

I have a big snap on box full of there tools and I have alot of harbor freight..I have broke harbor freight stuff and snap on same with craftsman. I have learned that for my needs either works and HD has lifetime warranty as well. Breaker bars and big pry bars leave them at hf other basic tools do well for me. If someone loses a hf tool I won't cry like I do for a snap on

Plus, for probably $20 or $30 you can put an additional 2 year warranty on it. If you have ever returned any thing to HF you know they don't ask questions. They just hand you a new one.
I just bought a 2" gasoline, trash pump to transfer water from the nurse tank to the sprayer. It was $180 a HB, $30 for an additional 2yr warranty. Bought the hoses and every thing there. I put oil and gas in it and fired it up. It cranks on the first pull every time. Been using it for about 2 mo now. Money well spent.
If your looking for a good cordless impact, Craftsman has a great bang for the buck cordless impact. Bought all the impact sockets from HF. Been using it to change tires and stuff also.
I bet at the end of the day most of that stuff is all made under the same roof.

I would have gave you a 10k gallon an hour one with 200' of hose.
Just gave it away the other day had been trying to find someone that could use it for the last 6 months.
Bought it during the drought to irrigate pasture.
My days of lugging around that hose is long gone.
