Victorinox (swiss army knife) have replaced an old broken knife for me - no receipt, no arguments, they even paid postage twice when I put the wrong address on the return label.

Jansport replaced a daypack when the zip failed after 10 years of rough usage.

For knives and luggage I now only buy from people with a lifetime warranty it suggests they have a certain faith in their products.

Yes Sears has this "lifetime warranty on all hand tools reassures you that no matter what your tools will show up for each and every project you begin."

Silva/Brunton has never refused my requests for compass repairs/replacements at no charge ... even with fairly old ones.

Most GOOD knife manufacturers have lifetime guarantees.

I'm a suspender wearer. Holdup Suspenders - they make the best suspenders in the WORLD and provide jobs in suburban Detroit area - have a lifetime guarantee.

I think my H&M match cases have a lifetime guarantee.

Snow & Nealley axes/mauls have lifetime replacement guarantee.

MSR Stoves are warrantied for life --- except regular wear. Not sure if that counts.

Tru-nord compasses are guaranteed for life.

Craftsman does not use the word 'new' in their tool warranty. Some of the pieces they use to replace defective/broken ones have things like "Stolen from Frank Smith" scratched or engraved into them.

They will replace it, and it will be usable.

My Taurus Millenium Pro is the same way, it is guaranteed for the life of the firearm (not just the owner).

I had a North Face climbers jacket bought on sale about 15 years ago. It was very well used with mostly skiing, and it was an older 3 ply style goretex. Areas of delamination showed different colors but still perfectly waterproof.

Sent it in, they called me and gave me the choice of their top of the line new jacket in Gore tex or their own Hyvent. No charge.

SOG also has a lifetime warranty.

Until it busts again.

Their stuff has gone DOWN HILL.

And not living 5 minutes from Sears now I'm fading their stuff away... I've actually had better luck with HF sockets than Sears... probably made in the same China factory!!!

really?!

I`m gonna have to test this

Come to think of it halfords own brand tools in the UK had this warranty.
And we are all forgetting the most obvious example. Dougs pocket survival kit offers free replacement for any parts used in an actual survival situation.
Think i started a dangerous thread. how do we justify buying more gear all the time? :-)
