Actually, yes I am. I get so disgusted every time that I go into Home Depot that I'd rather drive the extra 30 minutes or so to Menards. Their prices aren't usually any better than what I can find locally. The only advantage that I can see that they have over local is buying in bulk.
That and one stop shopping. FYI we don’t have Menards, the other guy is Lowe’s around SoCal.
Personally I have always loved the Depot. I started going 30 years ago in San Diego when remodeling a home. It was so much faster than trips to Ace Hardware for this, and Dixiline lumber for that, and Pauls Electric for that, and the plumbing supply for this. Mis the Home Expo, they had some really great stuff there.
Although I have a lot of Snap On tools from my single days I have a lot of Husky tools now.(Craftsman too, but no Sears stores now.) I don’t think I have even broken one yet. Just can’t handle the fact folks want 80% of what they paid for new, on worn out Snap-On hand tools. (At that price would rather buy it new but the Snap On guy does not ever knock on my door.) So rather have lots of good tools by Husky than a few really good Snap On tools. I often find Husky tools on clearance so that becomes a good tool at a great price. I don’t have issues with stripping bolts or nuts with their hand tools and sockets. The hand tools are lifetime warranty, just have not needed the warranty yet.
Also Home Depot makes returns very easy in my opinion. (I am sure that opinion results varies amongst this membership.) So I appreciate buying something and if it is not right, does not work, dies, or 90 days later I forgot to return it. Knowing it will be a no hassle experience to return it.
But I have been to Menards a few times, it’s a great store.
