What to log

  • Purchase date and dealer
  • Warranty length and coverage details
  • Required sharpeners or service centers
  • Serial numbers and photos

Use the Vendor Contract Checklist to record details.

Warranty workflow

  1. Register each shear/tool within 30 days (use the Register page).
  2. Store digital copies of proof of purchase.
  3. Log every sharpening or repair in the maintenance log.
  4. Set calendar reminders 30 days before warranties expire.

Negotiating service contracts

  • Ask about loaner tools while yours are serviced.
  • Clarify turnaround time and shipping responsibilities.
  • Bundle multiple tools for discounted maintenance packages.

Emergency backup plan

Keep a “service-ready” toolkit: sanitized backup shears, dryer, irons. Label with expiration date for next sharpening so emergencies don’t slow you down.

Good contracts save money and protect your schedule—treat them like VIP clients.
