I had an email from them this morning with copies of all the receipts of purchases of penny items I have made over the past 4 months, questioning how I came to find them.

If you think they aren't watching, think again...:eyecrazy:
Is this real?

Re: Ryobi 18v chain saw $30.03

I don't know if it's any good, and I would bet that it isn't for heavy cutting, but Home Depot has their Ryobi 10" 18v chain saw with a lithium battery & charger on clearance for $30.03

They've been on the HD list for a while. Gave one to my father in law, and sold the other one on eBay for 98 dollars. :rocker:

HD corp threatened me with a lawsuit

This isn't real life. Are y'all kidding?

Spn - Why/how would the threaten you with a lawsuit for? Buying items they priced?

06GMC - Should have said "In your store". Did they really send you an email?

I just can't fathom a big corporation like HD sending emails to both of y'all questioning anything. Its up to them to price their items and get them out of the system in a timely manner. Also, they have a policy for selling penny items, so it's not like this is a new concept. How can they do anything with a policy in place? I just can't see them looking external before internal, but I guess we are in America where its easier to blame everyone but ourselves.

All joking aside. For all we know some of the very HD employees that hide stuff from us could be reading this.

This is very true. Look up HD clearance deals in google, and this thread is on the first page...

How many people have gotten echo to send them missing parts? Mine are on the way just curious to hear results

Based on what SPN and others have said, sounds like the first to complain got them, but as more and more complained they got more stringent.

I just did it this morning
I think that Yu have to threaten them that Yu will return the item if Yu don't get the missing parts. And that when Yu bought it, HD store said either buy it or they were going to return item back to manufacture for store credit. Also that manufacture should send missing parts.

Manufacture never want products coming back..

I made no threats, all I said was HD said it's as is and that contact echo I would pay for the parts but $16 for shipping and handling is ridiculous, so I just lucky:rocker:

Top handle arborist saws are not for the inexperienced. The top handle provides little leverage to counteract kickback and also allows 1 handed operation, which can reduce the usability of the chain brake. I honestly wonder if HD is discontinuing carry the 330T because top handle saws really should not be purchased by your typical homeowner.
^ This. I've been thinking the exact same thing but I've been keeping my thoughts to myself.

I climb trees with spikes and straps and use arborist saws. I agree that arborist saws are not the right choice for someone who isn't climbing.

Arborist saws are special purpose limbing saws that are designed for one handed operation, to be used in those cases where you're in a tree, you need one hand to stay in the tree, and you only have one free hand for the saw. One-handed operation of a rear handle saw is prohibitively dangerous because those saws are even more likely to kick back by pivoting on the handle when you don't have a hand on the chain brake.

Arborist saws are more dangerous that regular saws and they aren't intended for the homeowner. When I saw HD clearancing them I had the exact same thought you had -- they've got to be blowing them out to shield themselves from liability. Putting arborist saws in the hands of the average homeowner is probably something they want to avoid. The only problem is that by blowing them out at cheap prices, even more people who aren't familiar with them are likely to be exposed to them, just because of the discounted price.

Be careful out there. And if anyone has one they want to get rid of in the Chicago area, please let me know. They've never been available here.

I hear what you are saying but would argue that an arborist saw used with two hands carefully is no more dangerous than a regular saw.

I would also say that no saw is designed for use with one hand. Correct me if I am wrong but nowhere in any top handle manuals will you find them promoting one handed use. It is designed to be more balanced yes, and yes you can use it with one hand, at risk of course.

Use it with two hands and be cautious and you will be fine.

I had to make threats to homelite csr otherwise they weren't going to send anything for pressure washer because I paid $29. Until I asked for supervisor action.

Has anyone had experience with HD refusing to honor a Lowe's 10% off coupon? I bought the M12 Fuel Combo at full price ($199) the other day and had forgotten my coupon. The cashier said to bring back my receipt with the coupon to customer service and they would adjust the price. Did exactly that today and the MOD said that they no long match percentage coupons but only item-specific deals. WTF?

Last I checked the cross-over between HD and Lowe's stocked brands is pretty limited (Dewalt?). Not sure if they changed policy or I just got a bad MOD.

On a side-note, I noticed the M12 Driver/Speaker combo is down to $78. They're just inching that one along...

Picked up another pfister ashfield today for a penny. No problems this time, went through self checkout when they were busy! Wasn't sure what else to look for without spreadsheet though.

They tell me the same thing around here. Identical items only.
But, it really depends who you get for a cashier. In reality, a Lowes 10% coupon is useless. Every cashier can give a 10% "customer service" discount. Just ask them for it. If they refuse, try another cashier. If that one refuses, tell them you'll go to Lowes

Just because you don't have the spreadsheet doesn't mean you can't sort through the posts and find other items.

A saw with a rear handle has a longer torque arm; it is designed to give you more leverage, and is less likely to kick back for that reason. Arborist saws are a different animal. I agree, best to use 2 hands.

I would also say that no saw is designed for use with one hand. Correct me if I am wrong but nowhere in any top handle manuals will you find them promoting one handed use. It is designed to be more balanced yes, and yes you can use it with one hand, at risk of course.
Of course the instructions that are written by the lawyers tell you not to use it one-handed ... for the same reason that the Q-Tip instructions tell you never to put them into your ear. :lol_hitti

I had one head cashier deny with an attitude. Othe r than that I've used them 20-30 times with no questions asked. They pull out a 3 ring binder and scan a lowes 10% off upc that is in their system.

Some people are just dicks to be dicks.

I did this. No luck either with the backback blower, pressure washer, chainsaw, grill, toolbox, etc.

I also scanned all rafters as well as searched for clearance tagged items, then scanned them myself looking for deals not listed. I scanned a ton of faucets, and the aforementioned Milwaukee 3/8 drill/radio combo (sku not clearance tag) and it is indeed $78, was hoping it would be less.

Sounds like you had pretty much everything covered then. There haven't been many "great" items lately.
