I think that is against the forum rules to discuss how to rip off a merchant. HD is not holding the bag here. The thread topic is customer service, warranty, user experience, and product reliability related. I don't even want one of these same units, but that is the only legal recourse I have...

My air tank doesn't hold water either. No fault of mine. How many air compressor tanks have ever actually been released out in the wild with a hole in it? I never once seen a report from anyone anywhere like this. These all get pressure tested. 99.999%. This tank arrived here in this condition...

Exactly what you see in the OP is what was posted on the Home Depot product page under the review section for that same product. Photos intact for verification of product, ownership, defect, etc. That review was pending 5 days. I just received an email from HD to inform me that the review was...

I really wish I had that option. Unfortunately I did not take it out of the box and test it until well after the Home Depot return period expired. I escalated this with Home Depot to the best of my ability, but was declined. I am within the one year warranty period and am covered by that within...

Model 4620AC 4620AC Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free 2.0 Hp, 4.6 Gal. Aluminum Twin Tank Electric Portable Air Compressor Purchased from Home Depot. One week delivery time. It was shipped to HD directly from California Air Tools. My concern is safety. I have seen videos of air tanks exploding and heard...

This week, I have been using a craftsman long tapered punch as an drift pin, and prying that with a 4 foot pry bar to lift up a new racking system for a lumber yard. All of the non-Craftsman punches are now banana shape, and the Craftman ones are still going strong.

I agree with JazzBlueRT here in this point. My father, an owner operator truck driver,before his retirement, would often tell me about these factories manufacturing tools for any one of half a dozen labels, craftsman, snap-on, sk, etc. I know one factory in Racine county Wisconsin producing many...

Solid core doors for me. I get them free when I do Demolition at hospitals or schools, and then I just store them. You could source them from a second hand building supply. Here we have Habitat for Humanity, and Restore. You cannot buy a more sturdy wood based benchtop, excluding butcherblock...

[B]OP HERE[B] OK so, I just got off the phone with the corporate rep that spoke to me about this promotion and here it goes. Sorry there will not be a web link, as HD did not provide me one, and does not exist. "The promotion is for participating locations in Wisconsin only", and "This is the...

As I have have previously posted earlier, I have went through the exact same process, and I am waiting for corporate to respond back tonight for details to share with everyone here. I originally was lead to believe this would be a nationwide offer. Oh, and thank you for retracting your reporting...

I am actively working on it. I have an escalation at the corporate level, with a return phone call before 7pm eastern tonight. The Milwaukee Home Depot has this, and he tells me he believed this to be a nation wide corporate offer. There is large scale marketing advertising in the front of the...

Whoa, just made it in time. Last one in is a winner?

EDIT: I have received more information from my local Home Depot manager. According to him, this promotion is target area specific. In my area it covers at least 14 locations, all in the southeast of Wisconsin. This promotion is from corporate Home Depot, but not widely available AFAIK. YOU WILL...

I heard about this as follows: I dropped an item at the checkout, it landed near the beverage cooler, and taped to the door of the cooler was a paper printout of the offer. I later called, and got confirmation, and later follow up calls for details to address some concerns here...

I could not find anything on the web either, so I started this thread to gather interest, ideas, and I thought a great conversation starter. I know my local Home Depot "elected" to join this promotion, as it was targeted to some of the other area locations. Please let us know what your local...
