I don't know why you feel insulted. I referred everybody to a new Greenlee warranty of 12 months for all their products . Maybe I should feel insulted for being wrongly accused of insulting people.
Sorry for the delay in answering, but I wanted some time to think about what you said. I wanted to think if there was another way you were approaching this other than an attack against me, or Brymen, or Joe, or whatever.
Well you did say there are "Brymen fan boys" in an earlier post. That is an insult, I don't know who you were directing it at, but it IS an insult according to the definition you posted. How can you be insulted for doing what you have proven to have done by your own definition that you have provided?
A limited lifetime warranty can be anything the manufacturer wants it to be, even 12 months.
If you have tangible information that the limited lifetime warranty for the Greenlee meters is longer, I'd be glad to modify my previous post with the exact number of years. I don't have a point of view. I'm only interested in facts.
I am also interested in facts. If I insult someone or post information that is incorrect I expect to jumped on. I also post opinions and try to make it clear they are opinions instead of facts. I don't claim to be only interested in facts. People's opinions are also interesting. Are you claiming you don't post opinions?
So you then admit that Fluke's lifetime warranty is only what Fluke wants it to be, or are they a special case? I only have the word of Fluke and Greenlee that their warranty is lifetime. Do you have special information? Discount the warranty of Greenlee at the expense of Fluke's. Do you have proof that Greenlee does not honor their warranty and everyone who has had a Fluke has always had their meter fixed without problems or exceptions? I remember evidence on this forum that Fluke decides what is a warranty issue or not even if the fault is obviously not that of the customer's. The 289 supercap corrosion problems are one example. I think I sided with Fluke on that issue but I think they could have handled it better. I remember there are other examples but I can't remember exactly what threads mention them at this point.
I really don't understand why you attack those who think that Brymen is a better buy for them. Do you have a vendetta? You have attacked me for having a bad experience with Uni-T, my experience with Brymen, and now attack Joe for having a well articulated position in favor of Brymen. He has his reasons and has spelled them out.
Amprobe (same parent company as Fluke) uses Brymen for some of its meters, as does Extech, as does Greenlee, as does some others.
You seem to find fault with anything Brymen. Why? Please explain how the legal wording in the warranty of Fluke is superior to Greenlee. Please explain how Brymen has ever let down its customers, show examples. If you read the manuals of everything that you have put in your spreadsheet, then you would have seen the warranty for Greenlee.
