Warranties don't mean crap to me. Tool reliability does.
I learned a hard lesson with my Mustang. I had popping noises in the front end, and every time I took it to the dealership they claimed they couldn't duplicate it. As soon as it was out of warranty they could hear it and wanted $1800 to replace the front struts, strut mounts, and front tires.
Whether it's the vehicle or the tools, the factory warranty is only as good as the intermediary you're required to work through. Ford's dirtbag dealers make their warranty worthless to me. Same for Snap-On's warranty, but in this case I blame the tool guy less than I blame Snap-On's sales model that victimizes their tool dealers.
