saw in a thread somewhere hd was closing out the ryobi oscillating sander for$49.i went to my local borg,they had the display model but none in stock.
i asked if i could buy the dispaly and was told no.ok can you check the computer for other stores in the area?a very nice older employee named vince said he would call the other stores because the computer system isn't always accurate.
called the first one about 5 miles away-same deal,called the next one about 10 miles away the tool corral manager said he had 3,but would do a visual look to make sure .yes he had 2 and would put one aside for me.
went to store no.2,mind you at the beginning of the blizzard we were hit with yesterday.got in the store and saw the next helpful hd employee.said i was looking for bernie the tool corral manager.
had him paged and he said it was put aside for me in the tool corral.got it home and i'm very pleased so far,i know ryobi gets bashed but for $49 i think i got alot of tool.
also hd gets it's share of bad press,but i ran into 3 of their better workers.
