Hi, I recently purchased online from 'Screwfix.com', a Ferm 24v cordless drill, and duly sent off the Warranty card, only to have it returned by the Royal Mail 3 days later stating that the 'Addressee has gone away' !!! The warranty for this tool is covered by Screwfix, but for only 12 months, the remaining 24 months is covered by 'Omega Safes Ltd' of Nottingham. Does anyone know their 'new' address please so that I may register my warranty, or maybe Screwfix will honour the full 3 years ? Cheers 'n regards ...

Phone Screwfix and ask them. They advertise the 3 year warranty so if they dont supply the new address they are in breach of advertising law.

I was about to 'phone Screwfix, when a very pleasant lady actually 'phoned me ! Here's the info for any other people having difficulty with their Ferm Warranty registration. FERM : 0870 735 3500 (be prepared, it's a Q&A / queue system) The company has had a slight name change to Omega/Wolf and their e-mail is sales@omegawolf.com and their website is www.omegawolf.com ... telephone 01623 758 666. While speaking with another lady, from Omega-Wolf (Ferm), she told me that they had moved from their old address over 15 months ago, so these drills are 'old stock' ? Cheers ...

So Wolf is now in the same stable as Ferm. I have used a Wolf drill for over 38 years and can guarantee none of their present range will still be working that long.
That was in the days when a hand drill had a metal case and power tools were built to last! The plastic ones are probably lighter and less likely to electrocute you. The good news is the cost is probably a third of what it used to be. Tony
I have tried to email to Technical@omegawolf.com and to sales@pmegawolf.co.uk all to no avail I expect they want me to ring an 0870 number and pay premium rate for the call So much for will deal quickly an efficiently that it says on the registration card
