Hickock Tree Loppers - 32"

Warranty Policy

Superior Fruit Equipment warrants to the original purchaser that the products they manufacture and sell are free from defects in material and workmanship for the useful life of the specific tool. Normal wear or incidental damage from use or maintenance is not covered. Superior Fruit Equipment reserves the option to repair or replace any product returned under warranty, and only if, in their judgment, the product has not been misused or altered inappropriately.

Products must be returned to the factory freight prepaid with a copy of the original receipt or invoice, and with prior authorization from Superior Fruit Equipment. After inspection, repair or replacement, the product will be shipped back by a similar freight method.

Superior Fruit Equipment will replace parts that have failed due to defects in materials or workmanship. They will not replace parts that have been abused or misused, including:

• Blades filed razor thin with the factory cutting bevel removed
• Aluminum handles bent from attempting to cut materials that are too hard or too large
• Wood handles broken
• Hook or blade tangs broken at the top of the handle

Extensive laboratory testing by Superior Fruit Equipment shows that when a lopper is subjected to excessive cutting force but the handles are kept in alignment, the blade/hook tang typically fails through the top bolt hole. This is a rare occurrence, as the handles usually break (wood) or bend (aluminum) first. A tang broken above the top bolt hole indicates that side loading or twisting occurred, and this type of torque breakage is not covered by the warranty.

Please contact WesSpur if you have any questions regarding this warranty or how to return a tool to Superior Fruit Equipment.
