Wife needed some potting soil or dirt and we stopped at Home Depot.
I went off to look around.
I ended up getting a pair of digital calipers to replace the Harbor freight ones that failed recently and also the plastic one I had forever (I think I got it early 90's for $50) that is going bad on me being unreliable that I keep in my drill press tool box.
I got it over another HF since HF offers no more discount coupons, even though it was a bit more expensive because HD has a lifetime guarantee, being a Husky branded tool.
I know that they don't last forever.
So the other news is that when I went to check out the clerk asked me if I wanted to add a two year extended warranty! I pointed to the lifetime guarantee text on the back and said it already has a lifetime warranty. Why do I want a 2-year one? She just shrugged.
I wonder how many people said yes.
The last remarkable thing is, I tried to log into Sawdustzone.com on my phone using their store Wi-Fi only to find Sawdustzone is a blocked website from HD's Wi-fi router. Odd? What have we ever done to earn the disapproval of Home Depot? Been too honest? I wonder if it's National or just local?
