Allowed warrantee limitations can vary based on state laws. That's the
geographic dependency.

Note that the original "SuperSmart" BT is just fine. It's the current
SuperShit "BT Plus" and the "BT Jr" wall-wart style models that are a
romper-room no-no.
Obviously you never read the articles.
Until I looked at the URL, I didn't know there was that big of a
difference myself, and I own an original "SuperSmart" which has done
fine for me. I'll not be buying another BT product though.
Just another case of an American company building a reputation on a nice
product, then discontinuing that product and selling a chunk of shit
that just LOOKS like the original product.
It's like where Sears no longer really honors the Craftsman "no
questions asked" tool warrantee and now hassles the hell out of you when
you try to return a tool.
Me? I shop at Harbor Freight now.
