Hi Steven. Question. I use all apple products. I have an iMac. What programs are you using for your above statement?

I have some different shelving that I am going to use for tools and stuff. They are still in the boxes. I am in the process of moving, so I haven't even opened the box to check the inventory to see if all the parts are their. I am going to try and make it a habbit to at least open stuff and make sure all is working or at least the inventory Sheet. I might try that Neat scanner and just file the receipts in a file cab. I like to do everything both ways if it is possible, might be a little extra work, but worth it in the end. I agree that we should also take pics of ser#'s keep them in the cloud for insurance purposes... Thanks appreciate all you guys's help. I really like this site. Tools for me, especially for my little woodworking hobby, are a must have for me. Just recently became single again, and now have more time for the shop :-) hehehehe

ok, that sounds like a great way. Would they accept a scanned receipt? Would you file the original?

Well Doof, that just it. Their are quite a few things that I buy, especially tools, I try and keep the receipts. I guess comp56 has a good idea, however I would like to see TIA do a vid on it and see how some people deal with it. Just be nice to see and hear some stories from fellow woodworker/ TIA members who have encountered such happenings. The answer to your question? That is one of the questions I have. Did you keep the paperwork , receipt, warranty, manual for the tool? It should tell you the specifics via manufacturer and so forth. I'm interested in your question too and would like to hear too. Tyvm...Michael

Requesting Video from TIA.... Ok! I got one for yall. I buy quite a few power tools and such quite often. Over the past 2 yrs I have accumulated a lot of receipts, manuals, and warranties. However; I have not been to diligent in keeping records of “when bought,” where the manuals are, and the type of warranty I got. PLUS! Some of the receipts that I have multiple tools on it which is a big mistake. I have taken them back, they marked it up, and returned it to me with additional receipts. Can get very confusing after a while. I am trying to train myself no matter how many items I buy i.e. Lowes, keep the stuff that have warranties on a separate receipts. Lowes is pretty easy, they keep my receipts on my lowes card. Not the credit card. However, as you know , we don’t always buy everything from Lowes or Home Depot. That is my main purpose to buy at lowes cause of the no questions asked return policy. I love that. I buy a some stuff from other vendors that promise warranties and manuals yet they want the original receipt. And sometimes their are special conditions you need to meet. Well, I’m an not well organized in the area YET!!! I do have the receipts, most manuals, and stuff. Just not orgainized. Probably can do some electronically, but not all. Need some type of spreadsheet or something to help keep track of them we can keep in the cloud and hard copy. I personally have often wondered how some people keep track of all that stuff. Most people take it for granted, yet when they need a warranty or info, they can’t find it. A arcticle and video would help a great desl with suggestions, different methods, and styles for record keeping.
