I was back at Rona today the bits are returnable when worn out. Or so the packaging was saying. It's there Eco line how good the warinty will be on something like this is hard to tell, but if they replace it when it's worn out hey that is money well spent. The quality looks ok. But if you are going to buy from eBay look at this as well it cost almost the same.

Too bad Sears or Canadian Tire don't make them in their brands. We'd never buy another one.

Not sure but this might be a 'limited' return policy where you will get a new bit for a reduced price when you return the worn one. The local Windsor plywood outlet has the same policy for certain brand saw blades etc.

The Rona Eco brand is an exchange program. Similiar to a core charge for car parts, or a propane tank exchange.

Basically, you buy the bit/blade/saw you need for full price, and when it wears out you bring it in and buy a new one for less when you trade in yours. They then take the old ones and resharpen them (in the case of sawblades).

Various outfits have been doing this for years.
