Consumers who purchased certain DEWALT, Craftsman, Irwin MAC Tools, Bostich, Matco, and Lenox titanium or cobalt drill bits and saw blades may be eligible to claim up to $8 without proof of purchase thanks to a class action lawsuit settlement with Stanley Black & Decker Inc.

The Class includes all individuals who live in the United States and purchased any of the covered products between April 13, 2015, and Oct. 13, 2021, for personal use.

The following products are covered under this settlement:

• Titanium and cobalt drill bits sold under the DEWALT, Craftsman, Irwin, MAC Tools, Bostich (titanium only), and Matco (cobalt only) brands
• Titanium saw blades sold under the DEWALT and Lenox brands

Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit had accused Stanley Black & Decker of deceptively labeling the products. They claim consumers relied on the company’s marketing in purchasing the products and paying a premium on them. 

The company denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not ruled in favor of either party in this case.

Class Members who file a valid and timely claim form will be eligible to receive a payment equal to 40 percent of the total price of their purchases of covered products, up to a maximum payment of $8 per household.

The final payment amounts may be reduced based on the number of claims received.

The deadline to file a claim is Jan. 11, 2022.
