How to Choose the Right Power Tool

Before purchasing, consider:

  • The application and materials involved
  • Corded or cordless operation
  • Required power, capacity, speed, or torque
  • Battery, blade, bit, wheel, or fastener compatibility
  • Tool weight, durability, service support, and long-term value
For cordless tools, consider the complete platform rather than the tool alone. Battery availability, charger compatibility, runtime, and the other tools offered within the system can all affect long-term value.

Slim’s One-Year Unconditional Guarantee

Slim’s offers an unconditional one-year guarantee on qualifying DEWALT, Milwaukee, and Metabo HPT power tools.

Coverage depends on the product and purchase. Ask a Slim’s team member to confirm that a particular tool qualifies before buying, and keep your proof of purchase.

Manufacturer warranties and Slim’s one-year guarantee are separate programs.

Power Tool Repair and Service Support

Slim’s states that it repairs major brands and services the products it sells.

Repair eligibility depends on the manufacturer, tool type, condition, required parts, and location. Before bringing in a tool, contact your nearest store to confirm that it can be serviced, what information to bring, and the current turnaround time.
