The Consumer Guarantee Statement
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.
You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any
other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods
repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not
amount to a major failure.
1. General Limited Warranty against Defects
1.1 (Applicable brands) STANLEY Australia manufactures and markets a range of premium
quality professional hand tools and accessories, under the STANLEY, Sidchrome,
Bostitch, Proto (including products marketed as "by Proto"), Facom and ABW brands
(STANLEY Products).
1.2 (Warranty against defects) Under this warranty, STANLEY Australia warrants that,
subject to the limitations and conditions in this document, each STANLEY Product will
be free from defects in workmanship and materials for the applicable warranty term
(set out below) and will be repaired or replaced free of charge if the applicable
conditions of this warranty are met. You may have additional rights in relation to
STANLEY Products under the Australian Consumer Law.
1.3 (Limitations on express warranty) This warranty is offered to you only if you are the
original purchaser of the STANLEY Product in addition to all statutory rights conferred
on you. Claims under this warranty are limited to the cost of repairing or replacing
the product. You may be able to claim for other forms of loss or damage under the
Australian Consumer Law.
1.4 (Term of warranty) STANLEY Australia offers this warranty for the term of the useful life
of all STANLEY Products, with the following exceptions:
(a) the warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for STANLEY
Products with electrical or electronic components is twelve (12) months;
(b) Sidchrome and Facom airtools are warranted for two (2) years from the date
of purchase, excluding normally wearing parts such as vanes, gaskets and
o-rings;
(c) Sidchrome and Facom electronic instruments are warranted for six (6)
months from the date of purchase;
(d) Sidchrome and Facom testing instruments are warranted for twelve (12)
months from the date of purchase;
(e) Sidchrome, Proto and Facom torque wrenches, torque multipliers and torque
testers are warranted for twelve (12) months, except for calibration which is
warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of purchase (torque products are
precise measuring devices that require care in handling. STANLEY Australia
recommends that all torque wrenches be recalibrated at least once per year,
depending on usage);
(f) Bostitch branded pneumatic staplers or nailers are warranted for a period of
seven (7) years from the date of purchase; and
(g) Bostitch compressors and tools used in production applications are
warranted for twelve (12) months from the date of purchase.
Under this warranty where more than one of the above exceptions applies,
the shortest warranty period is the applicable period.
1.5 (Express exclusions from warranty) Unless otherwise specified, this warranty
does not cover:
(a) modified, abused, neglected, accidentally damaged or excessively worn
products, or products that have become damaged or defective as a result of
improper use;
(b) repairs attempted or made by other than our regional repair centre or
authorised warranty service centre;
(c) conditions or malfunctions caused by the reasonable effects of fair wear and
tear or the malfunction of normally wearing parts, which include but are not
limited to: vanes, gaskets, o-rings, driver blades, bumpers, pistons and
piston rings;
(d) consumable items, such as batteries, trimming knives, drill points, surform
blades, hacksaw blades, hole saws, staples or nails, if they have been used;
(e) universal sockets, universal joints, thin-wall impact sockets, adapters and retaining
rings;
(f) Facom products that are not distributed through STANLEY Australia's authorised
distributors and resellers; and
(g) ultrasonic measuring tools.
1.6 (Products capable of repair) For certain STANLEY Products that are found to be
defective but repairable, it may only be necessary to replace a particular part. Where
this is applicable, only replacement of the defective, required part will be free of
charge. Items which STANLEY Australia may consider repairable include, but are not
limited to, socket ratchets, flexbars, torque wrenches, bit braces, hand drills, air
tools, planes & laser levels.
1.7 (Non-warranty repairs at customers cost) For the avoidance of doubt, parts of
socket ratchets and other repairable items that are merely experiencing the
reasonable effects of fair wear and tear are not covered by this warranty but STANLEY
may provide replacement parts or a replacement product at your cost.
1.8 (Warranty non-transferrable) This warranty is not transferrable beyond the original
purchaser.
2. How to make a warranty claim

claim is as follows:
(a) Any product subject to a warranty claim should be returned to the place of
purchase for assessment by a STANLEY Australia distributor or representative.

which case you should contact STANLEY Australia to make alternative
arrangements.
(b) You must present proof of purchase when making a warranty claim.
