McDermott’s Warranty Policy

G U A R A N T E E S O F Q U A L I T Y

McDermott Quality Certification

Only after rigorous examination may a cue receive McDermott quality certification and be ready to ship to our customers. McDermott quality control experts analyze every feature of the cue-we maintain much stricter tolerances than industry accepted standards.

From conception until the post-production phase, each model is subject to a number of uncompromising quality control checks which ensure that every single detail is being produced according to plan.

These strict internal quality checks continue even after our cues emerge from the production process. Each and every cue is checked for fit and finish to ensure that each cue continues to uphold the high standards of quality that set McDermott apart as a premium cue maker.

Lifetime Warranty

When it comes to a quality product and superior customer service, McDermott sets the standard with the McDermott New Cue Lifetime Warranty, the premier warranty in the industry. The McDermott Lifetime Warranty provides unparalleled coverage, and demonstrates not only our confidence in McDermott cues, but also our ongoing commitment to every McDermott customer.

You can be certain, as we are, that you will enjoy owning a McDermott as much as we enjoy handcrafting them.
