Tom, as a merchant who sells power tools, has an implied warranty of merchantability. This means that the tools he sells must be reasonably fit for their intended purpose and free from defects. If the cordless drill sold by Tom was defective and caused injury to Victor, then Tom can be held liable for breaching the implied warranty of merchantability.
