Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I get a tool repaired?
Simply return the tool to us at:
Lawton Industries, Inc
4353 Pacific Street
Rocklin, CA 94677
Including a contact name and phone number or e-mail with the tool is very important. Once we receive the tool, we will immediately inspect the tool and contact you with the repair costs once we receive it. We will not repair the tool until we receive approval from you. Once we receive approval, the repairs are made immediately, so you will have your tool back as soon as possible.
Once a tool is repaired, it will return to you as if it were a brand-new tool. Only the body remains the same. The handle, tubing, gauges, valves, cables, and cutters are all new.

-
Can a tool be repaired in the field?
Cutter bits and Packing can be replaced in the field. However, any other repairs, including twisted cables, bent shafts, broken handles, valves, or gauges, require the tool to be returned to us.
We take special measures to ensure the safety of our tools. We are the original Angle Worm Bleeder Cleaner manufacturer and pride ourselves on a 100% user safety record for almost fifty years.
We do not feel a tool is guaranteed safe if repaired with a self-repair kit. Because your safety is our number one concern, we prefer to repair to tool in-house where it can be tested by us.
