Returns & Exchanges
A clear path when a tool is not the right fit.
HouseTool reviews return and exchange requests with the order details, product condition, compatibility, and project context in mind. Start with support before sending anything back so the next step is accurate and practical.
Have your order number, product name, and a short description of the issue ready. Photos are helpful for damaged, incorrect, or compatibility-related requests.
Choose the request that matches what happened.
A focused first message helps HouseTool review the order without unnecessary back-and-forth. Keep the product, packaging, manuals, and included components together while the request is being reviewed.
The item arrived damaged or incorrect.
Share the order number, item name, package condition, and clear photos of the product, label, and affected area. Do not operate a damaged tool or install a damaged component.
The specification does not match the project.
Explain the material, fastener, measurement, power requirement, connection type, or accessory standard involved. Compatibility details help support identify a practical exchange path.
The item is no longer needed.
Contact support before opening, assembling, installing, or testing the product. Condition, packaging, consumable status, and order details may affect available return options.

Exchange options depend on product condition and availability. Include the required dimensions, thread type, drive size, voltage, shank, connection, or material specification so support can review compatibility.
