Is Iso-Tip still part of Wahl Clipper?
No. We’re now owned by Senasys as of December 2008.

Q. Since you’re not part of Wahl anymore, should I call or email Wahl to ask about Iso-Tip products?
A. No.

Q. But I have an Iso-Tip tool that I bought from Wahl 20-some years ago?

Do you ship out of the country?
Yes we do, but we ask that you email or call us for shipping prices. You typically know the best route to use within your own country.
Is there a warranty on Iso-Tip products?
Yes. Iso-Tip offers a one-year limited warranty on our products. If your Iso-Tip tool fails to operate satisfactorily within one year from the date of the original purchase or receipt as a gift, Iso-Tip will, at our option, repair or replace the tool and return it to you.

Q. At Iso-Tip’s option?
A. Yes.

Q. But I don’t have my original receipt or a gift receipt. Is that going to be a problem?
A. Maybe.

Q. Why?
A. Because we need some sort of proof that the tool you’re wanting to return is actually under warranty.

Q. But isn’t there a date code on the product?
A. There is, but most likely the product was manufactured months before you bought it. If we have to base the warranty on the product’s date code, odds are the warranty will have run out.

Q. So what do I do now?
A. Do you remember where you bought the tool? Try returning it to them first.

How do I return a product to you?
By following these five steps:

  1. Call (715) 318-2822 to receive an authorization code.
    (If your product is out of warranty, Iso-Tip will need to obtain repair or replacement payment at this time. No payment information is necessary for products under warranty.)
  2. Write a note describing the defect.
  3. Attach the original receipt or gift receipt to the note.
  4. Write your authorization code on the note.
  5. Mail tool, charger (if applicable) and note to: Iso-Tip, ATTN: Returns, 704 Bartlett Avenue, Altoona, WI 54720. (You are financially responsible for shipping the defective product to Iso-Tip. If the product is under warranty, Iso-Tip will pay for shipping charges to return a working product to you. If the product is not under warranty, you will pay for all shipping charges.)

Q. Is there a restocking fee?
A. If you’re returning a product for a refund, there is a 15% restocking fee.

Q. What if I just send you a return without talking to someone at Iso-Tip first?
A. Don’t. We’ll ignore it.

Q. But I’ve included a nice note.
A. That’s sweet. But you really should have called first.

Q. It’s handwritten…
A. Yes…very impressive…

Q. So, how about looking at my return?
A. No. You should have called first.

Q. How are returned tools out of warranty dealt with?
A. Tools out of warranty will be repaired at our standard repair charge (plus shipping costs) or replaced at list price (plus shipping costs). You can find our repair product listing here: https://iso-tip.com/product/7700-quick-charge-soldering-iron-rebuild-7700-002.

Q. What voids the warranty?
A. The one-year limited warranty is void and no repair or replacement will be made under this warranty or otherwise if:

  • The tool is modified in any manner.
  • The tool is repaired by anyone other than Iso-Tip.
  • The tool has been subjected to unreasonable use.

Q. Are there any more details available for Iso-Tip’s one-year limited warranty?
A. Why yes, yes there are more details. Thanks for asking. Here they are: This warranty gives you specific rights and you may also have more rights which may vary from state to state. No other written express warranty is given. Any implied warranty which may arise from purchase or use is limited to the one-year period provided in this express warranty. Some states may not allow such limitations. No responsibility is assumed for incidental or consequential damages of any type or for the use of unauthorized attachments. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Warranty valid only in the United States. This warranty does not cover worn out parts.
