TOOLS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY FROM HOME DEPOT!

If you find any products or services that I recommend in my videos interesting and decide to make a purchase, I would be grateful if you could consider using my affiliate links. Thanks 😊

Home Depot is generally known for offering a wide range of quality products, some items might not always meet customer expectations. Here are some tools you might want to consider avoiding or researching thoroughly before purchasing:

1. Cheap Power Tools: While Home Depot carries reputable brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita, they also offer lower-end brands that might not be as durable or reliable for heavy use.
2. Budget Hand Tools: Similar to power tools, budget hand tools might not hold up well under frequent or heavy use. Brands like Husky are generally good, but it’s wise to read reviews on specific items.
3. No-Name Brands: Some lesser-known brands might offer tempting prices, but their quality and longevity can be questionable.
4. Inexpensive Drill Bits: Lower-priced drill bits often dull quickly or break easily, making them a poor investment for anyone doing regular or professional work.
5. Cheap Painting Tools: Low-cost paint brushes and rollers can shed bristles or fibers, leading to a poor-quality finish.
6. Inexpensive Plumbing Tools: Budget plumbing tools can lack the precision and durability needed for effective work, potentially leading to more significant problems.
7. Basic Measuring Tools: Cheap levels, tape measures, and other measuring tools may not be as accurate, which can be critical for many projects.

The speed out is something that, if you are using your tools correctly, you should never need to use. That said, you may need them if someone before you was careless and you have to deal with their shortcomings. also it sounds like you are in a field where you can rip out the damaged screw and fill the hole to remount. in some situations where that is not practical or possible that is when these are used.

Also, in the case of larger bolts it is sometimes easier to drill a damaged bolt and back it out than it is to use alternative methods. in 20 years I have used one of these maybe a half dozen times and every time it was because the alternative was to send the part to a machine shop to be drilled out.
