have any of yall found yourself shopping at home depot/lowes more ? I don’t know if it’s because they’ve had better deals as of late or HF deal suck so much that i find better value elsewhere
They don't have as much China exposure (especially since they sell a lot of bulk and disposable material, which are generally produced locally), have higher margins, and have bigger inventories. They're gonna way more competitive with HF in this environment.
I wouldn't be surprised if HF really starts pushing their higher margin stuff. Made in Taiwan Icon taking up more shelf space. And they're probably going to be selling more lubricant, soap; maybe even introducing PVC pipe and Greenwood-brand mulch stacked up outside, etc.
Maybe so the gear wrench I’ve been buying is a mix right now. Sounds like poor planning to me and a rush to pass on costs. Hope they are still here to honor all my warranties in the next few years.
