Outside the 6 Months? Still Reach Out

Even if you’re past the 6-month warranty window, contact us anyway. Depending on the situation, we may still be able to help with a repair, replacement option, or a discounted solution. We stand behind our tools and we’d rather talk it through than leave you stuck.

 D.W. Swedes tools are built for real jobsite use. A little basic care will keep them working and looking good for a long time.

After use

Wipe off mud, moisture, and debris, especially after use in wet conditions.

If the tool is wet, dry it before storing.

Rust prevention

Steel tools can develop surface rust if stored wet or exposed to corrosive conditions.

For longer life, apply a light protective coating (oil, rust inhibitor, or a light spray protectant) before long-term storage.

Storage

Store tools in a dry area whenever possible.

Avoid leaving tools in standing water, wet truck beds, or exposed to salt/chemicals.

Use as intended

These tools are made to work hard, but misuse (prying with a striking tool, using cheater pipes where not appropriate, using as a wedge/chisel when not designed for it, etc.) can shorten tool life.

Finish wear

Paint and coatings will show normal wear with jobsite use. That’s normal and expected.

If you want, I can tailor this with one extra line specifically for your heat-treated pins/bars (e.g., “avoid heating the tip with a torch”) depending on what you want customers to know.

 These are heavy-duty, jobsite tools. Use common sense and work safe.

Always wear PPE

Safety glasses (striking and prying can send chips/flying debris)

Work gloves

Steel-toe boots recommended

Before each use

Inspect the tool for cracks, severe mushrooming, loose parts, or damage

Do not use damaged tools—replace or repair first

Safe striking

Use the correct hammer type and a controlled swing

Keep your hands clear of the striking area

Stand clear of bystanders and keep others out of the swing zone

Frost Pins: use a maximum 4 lb hammer

Safe prying & leverage

Maintain stable footing and a controlled body position

Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points

Don’t use cheater pipes or excessive force if it creates a slip hazard

Safe driving into ground

Call/verify utility locates before driving tools into the ground

Watch for underground hazards (power, gas, water, comms)

Use as intended

Do not modify tools (grind/weld/drill/heat) unless you understand the risks

Misuse can cause tool failure, injury, or property damage

If you want, I can also add a one-liner that matches your brand tone, like: “Work smart. Swing clean. Keep the job moving.”
