Professional Note: At Deals Tough Drill Store, we understand that tradespeople demand the same reliability from their suppliers as they do from their power tools. Our returns policy is designed with the same no-nonsense efficiency that professionals expect.

1. Our Returns Promise

We stand behind our industrial-grade tools with a 15-day return policy from the date of delivery. If any product doesn’t meet your professional standards, we’ll make it right – with the same precision our angle impact drivers deliver on the job site.

2. Eligibility for Returns

To be eligible for return:

  • Item must be unused and in original packaging
  • All accessories/manuals must be included
  • Proof of purchase required

Non-Returnable Items:

The following professional tools cannot be returned due to hygiene/safety reasons:
