Are Home Hardware Benchmark products manufactured in China, if not, where are they manufactured?
They are made in China. The tools and the battery and the battery charger are all made in China. Probably from the same Chinese factory that make 50% of all the other power tools available for us in North America. Whereas the factory across the street makes the other 40%.. The 5 year warranty sold me plus I try to support my local Home Hardware when I can.

Have you used your benchmark tools very much. Do they seem to function well.
I bought a Benchmark 1240-0000 drill in June of 2022 with a 5 year warranty. The drill burnt out in less than a year later after only 5 uses. I contacted the company and they instructed me to email them the product number, receipt and description to customerservice@powertoolsplus.ca. I have emailed 5 times and they have not replied yet! Absolutely terrible customer service. Crap products as a result. You shouldn’t be selling something that you won’t honour in your warranty! I have contacted the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint.
