Why Register Your DeWALT Tools?
Extended Warranty Protection
The most significant benefit of registration is upgrading your standard 1-year warranty to a comprehensive 3-year guarantee. This extended coverage protects your tools against defects in materials and workmanship for three full years from the date of purchase, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
Additional Benefits
Beyond warranty extension, MyDEWALT registration provides:
- Access to product manuals and service information
- Latest news, updates, and exclusive deals
- Tool inventory management in one convenient location
- Priority customer support
- Product recall notifications
- Tips and tricks for getting the most from your tools
Important Registration Requirements
Time Limit
You must register your DeWALT tool within 4 weeks of purchase to qualify for the extended 3-year warranty. Missing this deadline means you'll only have the standard 1-year warranty coverage.
What You'll Need
Before starting the registration process, gather the following information:
- Tool model number (found on the tool's rating plate)
- Serial number (unique identifier on your tool)
- Product date code
- Purchase date
- Proof of purchase (receipt or invoice)
- Retailer information
Special Considerations
- Twin packs and kits: Each tool must be registered individually
- Original purchaser only: The warranty is non-transferable
- Authorized retailers: Tools must be purchased from authorized DeWALT dealers like Power Tool Services
