Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of garden tools has the best warranty?

On paper, Radius Garden scores highest, with lifetime of full coverage.

Is a long warranty on garden tools really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

2 of 13 brands require registration for some of their coverage, often within a set number of days. Keep your receipt either way.
