Swanson warranty for measuring & test tools
The short version
Swanson covers measuring & test tools in full for 1 year, then keeps savage products and savage level accuracy covered for life. That full coverage is longer than most of the 24 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Swanson's published warranty, checked October 2026.
