Limited Lifetime Warranty

'Expected Life' means the life of the product under ordinary use, which varies by type of instrument. Please call HiTeck Customer Care at 877.899.1861 with questions about the expected life of any HiTeck product.

The warranties for some HiTeck products are specifically described below.  All other HiTeck instruments provide a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the expected life of the product. HiTeck will, at its option, repair or replace any product that fails as a result of any such defect. HiTeck guarantees against breakage, joint failure, and corrosion under normal use.

Please note the following:

  • Instruments that show wear from normal use are not considered to be defective and will not be covered by the warranty.
  • Sharpening and repairing minor tip damage are considered routine maintenance and are not covered by the warranty.
  • Modifying or re-tipping an instrument or failure to provide proper instrument care, including proper cleaning and maintenance, may void this warranty.
