You sold a tool to the user with a claim on how it would work. If the tool behaves wrong or does not works as intended then as a manufacturer you are liable for the defect/damage not the end user who used the tool.

But the tool wasn’t sold. The tool wasn’t even rented out. It remained the property of, and in the possession of, the toolmaker at all times.
