I have heard (also experienced) that the brands deal with the warranty in different ways. Festool and Hilti having a good reputation in this field, probably Fein as well, as I am new with them, I assume this is a hidden way of coming to a conclusion how to treat the customer by Milwaukee and maybe by other brands if they have hidden things like that, too. What do you think?! This is a way of collecting data from you, to see if you are a DIY’er or a pro. I don’t know about the US, but here in UK if you buy a power tool you buy it on your name, so all is clear.
