I've been gradually upgrading my tools, to the new green Ryobi gear, with mostly success.. Although, the orbital sander had begun making some hideously concerning noises, lately.. And after only a month! It's terribly jittery and really rough.. Weird..
Now, I have had nothing buy success with my Ryobi tools.. So, let's chalk it up to a bad build, or something.. I dunno. Either way, it's still new, and I really like it! Because it's still so new, I could easily just exchange it, for an identical model, right?... Right?
No such luck, kid.. Here's a local place, in town, where you can get it fixed, though.
Wait... What? 30 day return policy on power tools.. But, I am late, by a week? Ouch.. Way to leave me stranded with a busted tool, Home Depot. Thank you, very much.. I didn't say anything, or make a fuss. Just got the managers name, and said thank you.. So unhelpful. It's still under warranty!
At least I am not building anything right now.. Or I would be seriously be out of luck!.. Or, I guess I could just buy a new one.. Put the old one in the box, and return it..
They'll never know!
Okay.. I'll do things the ligit way.. I have a support ticket in, on the ryobi site. My 37 day old sander, likely qualifies, for the 2 year warranty.. And if it doesn't... I am buying a bloody Dewalt.. ;)
