Intake open
Power tools investigation, who is looking into it and who can sign up
Last checked August 30, 2026
Attorneys at Saunder & Schelkopf are investigating whether power tool companies engaged in illegal or unethical practices that affected people who bought power tools in the last two years. At this stage there is no filed complaint, no court, and no settlement. The firm is collecting names of buyers so it can decide whether to bring a class action.
The intake form lives at investigations.stopconsumerharm.com. Filling it out is free, and the firm only gets paid if a case succeeds. This is attorney advertising for an investigation, not a settled class action.
What the firm is looking at
The facts released so far are thin. The investigation covers power tool purchases within the past two years and asks whether the manufacturers did something illegal or unethical to consumers. The firm has not named specific brands, defects or pricing practices on its public page. Because nothing has been filed, there are no allegations on a court docket to summarize yet.
Current status
Pre-filing investigation. The intake is marked open. There is no claim deadline because no settlement exists, and the firm can close the investigation at any time. If it files a class action and a court later approves a settlement, a separate claims process with its own deadline would follow.
What signing up does and does not do
Submitting the form sends your purchase details to Saunder & Schelkopf for review. It does not make you a client, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. If the firm wants to move forward with you, it contacts you and offers a separate written agreement. You can decline.
The firm's page notes that class representatives, the named people who front a class action, may be awarded $1,000 to $10,000 at the court's discretion on top of any damages. A representative is chosen by the firm and the court, and there is no promise of any recovery for anyone who signs up.
How to sign up
- Open the intake page at investigations.stopconsumerharm.com/power-tools.
- Enter your contact details and which power tools you bought in the last two years, and from where.
- Keep receipts, order emails and product photos in case the firm asks for them.
- Wait for the firm to contact you. Payout lists this intake as one free option among others and is not involved in the review.
