Always buy the Product Protection Plans (PPP) at Sears on power tools. They cost 10% of the unit price, and cover it for 2 years of out right replacment for damn near any reason. Hell, even if it works fine after 1.99 years take it back and swap it for a new one. The workers dont give a shit why your bringing it back "yeah it just stopped working". They never carry the same model for that long, so you'll get swapped out with the newest compairable model. Pretty sweet if you buy say a $100 drill, pay $10 for the plan and get a free $100 drill two years later.

The Maintanence Agreements however ARE a fucking rip off.
