How do I send a tool in for repair?
-
Please contact us by email us or the form below with a brief description of the issue, your return address, and a phone number. In some cases -- like a worn O-ring -- we may be able to walk you through a simple fix using the included maintenance kit. However, most repairs require hands-on evaluation. We ask that you send the tool to:
Weddle Tool Company
1419 Sam Mason Rd.
Attn: Repairs
Bunker Hill, WV 25413
You can browse and purchase common repairs like powerhead replacement and slide tube upgrade/replacement in our online shop, but please note that these services require you to send the tool in for hands-on evaluation and repair.
What is your warranty policy?
-
WTC offers a one-year warranty on covering manufacturing defect in materials and workmanship. For full terms and details, please view our warranty policy.
What type of hydraulic fluid does the tool take? Do I need to check or refill it?
-
The W Tool uses standard hydraulic jack oil, available at most auto parts retailers. You may need to check and refill the fluid occasionally. We have provided a guide on how to do this in our Training and Resources page.
The W Tool flat head plate fell out or won't stay in -- what should I do?
-
The flathead plate is the attachment that inserts into the powerhead (hydraulic jack). It's held in place by a small rubber O-ring, which can wear out over time and may need occasional maintenance.
Each W Tool ships with a maintenance kit that includes a spare O-ring, lubricant, and instructions. If your flathead plate won't stay in place, the O-ring may be missing or damaged -- but this is usually a quick, user-serviceable fix.
To maintain the O-ring:
-
Lightly lubricate both the flathead shaft and the O-ring
-
Replace the O-ring if it's damaged or stretched
-
If needed, you can purchase a new maintenance kit here
Does the W Tool contain California Proposition 65 Chemicals?
-
The W Tool is manufactured by Weddle Tool Company and is not designed to contain, and is not known to contain, chemicals currently listed under California Proposition 65.
Some product configurations include a vinyl carrying case supplied with the tool. The carrying case includes vinyl materials and carries a Proposition 65 warning as disclosed by its manufacturer. California regulations require this notice even when chemical-specific attribution is not provided.
