To be fair though, to keep the customer happy I'd just give him a new one. That way he's more likely to come back for discs/pads etc. It just makes good business sense. | |

I work at a parts place, and I'm sure I've seen that t40's are excluded from sealey's warranty. I think the main reason is that bolt does fiesta, escort and Mondeo wishbone bolts among others, which are known to be an absolute pig. Most garages just cut the bolts to save time. | |

Quickly fill a claim in online, pay a fee and a strangely persuasive court summons lands on the doorstep /head office. Suddenly you're taken seriously and they will bend over backwards to rectify your outstanding 'issues' :rolleyes: | |

When I broke something like that from sealey their excuse for not replacing it/refunding etc was I might of been using a 10foot breaker bar on my 6mm Allen key socket.... Morons. Bought a super cheap set from motorfactors next door and it's put up with more shit then it should for years now. | |

quote: I disagree with that, surely it should last longer than that? In most cases you won't need to because a retailer will be aware that you can't sell things that break the first time you use them. But the law supports you, why not employ it? Not suggesting he goes barrelling in quoting bits of it btw. Just don't accept that. | |

Something to do with being used on brake callipers, usually the bolts on these are held in with locktite & chances are this will snap the T40 bit on you. | |

That's a bit of a vague law, people like to chuck around quoting just that part at people in shops, trying to act clever. | |
