I am feed up with with squares​ that aren't square, parallel clamps that aren't parallel, and tools with steel so soft they bend at the first use. Three weeks ago I purchased a Makita 2012nb planer from HD. Every few passes the work would not feed, wnen it did feed it cut a small snip. I expected a snip even though the POP
Material says "no snip" Exhanged it for another one, same make and model. This one would not feed at all. Returned the second one and received a refund , no questions asked. The reason I purchased this, and many other items from HD is their return policy. I have never bought, used, and returned any item that worked properly. HD needs to know what products have a high failure rate, the manufacturer needs to know and the consumer needs to receive products that work properly. It must be good for business or the policy fade away.
