Craftsman

Craftsman is one of the most reliable American-based tool manufacturers. This company is not just known for producing high-quality, durable tools. Craftsman also offers its customers an expansive lifetime warranty covering most handheld and electronic goods, including the V20 1/2 in. Brushed Cordless Drill Kit, V20 20-volt Max 200-CFM 90-MPH Battery Handheld Leaf Blower, and 20-volt Max 8-in Battery Hedge Trimmer.

Orvis

Since opening its doors in 1856, Vermont-based sporting goods retailer Orvis has proudly offered its “Great Catch Guarantee,” a lifetime warranty on a wide selection of products, such as a Recon Fly Rod, Orvis Wading Staff, and Orvis Lanyard. If you have trouble with a purchase, you can contact Orvis for a replacement, and they will replace it or give you store credit. 

The North Face

The North Face is known for its trademarked line of warm and cozy jackets and outdoorsy goods. Its products are built to last, making a replacement unlikely. However, if your North Face product suffers from a manufacturing defect, then you’re in luck — the company’s limited lifetime warranty covers it. While the warranty won’t cover negligent care or accidental damage, you can swap out any faulty product for a refund or replacement. 

Zippo

Zippo guarantees that its products work, or “we fix it for free.” Zippo Windproof Lighters are guaranteed to last for as long as you need them, and it doesn’t matter whether you purchased one 50 days or 50 years ago — the company will swap out any broken lighters for a new one, no questions asked. You can also watch product care videos on the Zippo website to troubleshoot potential issues before requesting a replacement.

JanSport

Since its founding in 1967, JanSport has prided itself on customer satisfaction and offers a limited lifetime warranty in the event of any manufacturing defects. Even if the damage isn’t covered by its warranty, JanSport still promises to repair or replace its products at a “reasonable rate.”

Big Green Egg

Big Green Egg is one of the most popular American-made products for backyard grilling. In addition to helping you plan a perfect BBQ, the grill comes with a limited lifetime warranty. But be careful if you bought a Big Green Egg second-hand — the warranty becomes invalid once the grill is resold.

Duluth Trading Company

Many products sold by Duluth Trading Company are designed to endure wear and tear. However, if your product isn’t up to par, the company’s No Bull Guarantee warranty is straightforward when it comes to requesting a refund or replacement. This lifetime warranty will cover manufacturing defects for any piece of apparel sold.

Darn Tough Socks

Darn Tough is a Vermont-based sock manufacturer that guarantees its socks for life. The company is so confident in the quality of its socks that it offers a full warranty that covers any snags or holes. The rule has some exclusions, such as socks getting lost in the laundry or chewed up by a pet, but general wear and tear are covered. 

Vermont Teddy Bear

The beautiful heirloom stuffed animals made by the Vermont Teddy Bear are covered by a lifetime guarantee. In the case of any damage, from general wear and tear to serious rips, you can ship your toy to the company’s “Bear Hospital” in Shelburne, Vermont. There, their team of “doctors” will nurse the bear back to health until it’s ready to be returned home, good as new.
