Online Pricing VS In-Store Pricing:
Sometimes the online price will be lower than the price labeled on the in-store product. Just show them the price difference and you should be able to get the discount.
Tool Repair:
If your tool is still under warranty you just have to pay a diagnostic fee and once repaired they will return that amount or if it’s out of warranty the diagnostic fee will go toward the repair cost.
Used Tools:
Typically Home Depot will see used tools in their tool rental section so it’s good to double-check this section from time to time.
