I avoid Home Depot.
I’ve avoided Home Depot since they were found to be routinely infringing on American patents in order to secure look-alike products from China.
They are big time supporters of queers and queer marriages.
Smart move. We made the mistake of buying rebar from them. We had 15 year old rebar laying around. The old rebar took 3x as long to cut with the grinder. The rebar from HD cut like butter. Found out later from a knowledgeable friend on such matters that it is most likely Chinese rebar -- poorly made. He stated the rebar from India is much better quality.
He stated we should be able to ask the store for the COO (Country Of Origin) of the steel. I am disgusted at all the Chinese junk flooding into America.
