The salesclerk made a warranty of fitness for a particular purpose by recommending a specific saw based on Craig's stated need to cut through copper tubing, indicating that the saw would be suitable for that specific use. This does not constitute an express warranty, which would require a more explicit affirmation of fact or promise about the item, nor does it involve a warranty of trade usage, which relates to standards in the industry rather than the suitability of the product for a specific purpose.
