Well... Yes and no... I can't afford the "good stuff" and since I will only use it three times a year, it's hard to justify the cost..... So cheap happens.

@hoktang1 Ай бұрын

Walmart conduct survey of their customers. To gather data of what each item should cost. And what they are willing to pay. This information is given to manufacturer to produce an item at a given price point. In the past people would save to purchase a quality item. Now people go for disposable item to fill the same need.

Well rigid don’t make welders but Lincoln does with orange paint and a ridged logo

@StoicOdinSon Ай бұрын

It's the Walmart modo. Aggressively put everything on your shelf so everyone comes to you for everything. Then once you can make the product you're selling cheaper than the other guy. Sell it for cheaper. And then one day just remove all their products from your shelf. Effectively trying to create a sort of mental monopoly for those goods.

Home Depot continues to go all in on cheap Chinese stock. Out with American in with Chinese. They are quickly becoming the dollar store in quality of their products. Brands like Stanley, Estwing, Klein, Mag lite, Channellock, Greenlee, Reese, and WD40, continue to be eliminated or reduced in product lines. Just to name a few.

Home depot has been slowly been increasing its ties with milwaukee. Ryobi, ridgid are somehow associated with tti which owns milwaukee. I think the only remaining stand alone is makita. I have no bad experience with makita tools but theyre off times pricey leaving me uninterested in giving them a try. I dont think they fared to well over at the ttest channel. I call makita the "Meh" brand...

@BabaYaga214 Ай бұрын

I have only seen it at one location in my area. I was also surprised about Ridgid making welders and supplies. Online it shows that they have been making them for a few years. Maybe Home depot had a contract with Lincoln electric. Idk but I got a bunch of good stuff from the clearance section that evening for a damn good deal lol

I just assume that brand is complete garbage and can only sell if nothing else is available. It’s like retail stores WANT me to exclusively shop online.

@mr.mckinnon5680 Ай бұрын

To understand the difference between rigid, and lincoln. To operate a rigid, machine, you'll probably need at least, one semester of welding school... With lincoln, everything you need to know about welding, is on the last page of the owner's manual. The difference between the owner's manual, and 9 weeks of schooling.... practice.

@@Kaleb_RoSs ... I own a lincoln, and a Miller. My lincoln, is a 220 Arc welder. That my grandfather bought in 1955. It still works just fine. Never had an issue with it. The wire feed welder, I currently own, is a miller. That I accumulated at an estate sale. For 100 bucks. But when I bought my own new welder, it was a lincoln. Because I do Auto body. And lincoln, is the standard for auto body repair. Because I need my welders to perform. I'm not trying to go back and forth to home depot, to do warranties. That's how they get you at AutoZone. Around here we understand three basic concepts. Boats are made out of fiberglass. Pop cans are made out of aluminum. And trucks, are made out of steel!

@@Kaleb_RoSs ... My lincoln, wire feed welder, was stolen out of my shop. They took over $50,000 worth of tools. But the tool that they didn't take..... Was that old 220 Arc welder. I speculate it was, too heavy for them to move. And they thought, stealing all of my tools, and my welder, would put me out of business. But it didn't. Because they took the wrong welder. I'll never buy another portable welder ever again. Too easy to steal. And you can't keep nothing in America safe anymore, unless it's stuffed in your ass. And even then, that's no guarantee.
