Pump Return - Opened Box vs. Unused or out of my money?

I'll probably get crucified and downvoted for asking question that people will be quick to point that I already have the answer to.

I bought a utility submersible pump which cannot be returned if opened. I opened the box to take a look at cord length and realized that it will be too short for my need. Didn't even take the pump out. I removed the actual seal and open the box.

So, yes, I did open the box and wording is very clear that I cannot return the box.

I am just wondering if anyone has had similar experience and able to return a clearly unused pump or managers maybe lenient to a certain extend?

Thank you!

Is the OG yellow being discontinued?

The yellow Daytona is unavailable at every store in my radius (20 stores). It shows available to order online, but I'd like to save on shipping & spare my UPS driver if at all possible. With the upcoming coupon I was gonna pull the trigger. The purple is slick, but I wanted all my Daytona stuff to match

NTBD - 56” roll cab and 42” top box

Picked up today. Used the motorcycle trailer from U-Haul. Super easy to unload. Pulled the drawers from the top box and it was pretty easy to lift with my buddy.

How hard/easy is it to rekey so the keys match?

Just exchanged two ratchets in for the new G2s. It’s very cool they are doing this.

All I said was “the back drag is too heavy on both of these ratchets”

Should I Use the 15% Off Any Single Item Coupon Today or Wait for The Next PLS..

The 15% off any single item expires today. I need a Generator/Inverter, should I spring for now or is it likely there will be a better deal on Predator items in the next Parking Lot Sale and when will that be..?

too many broken bits

was just adding some bolts as backup to my questionable welding work and had a rough time getting the second hole drilled. The big bauer cobalt set turned out to be pretty nice to be able to drill through the multiple broken hercules bits. The s wrench was nice for getting the bolts in after.

Standard vs Anti-Slip

Got both the 6mm-19mm Professional Combination set. Does the regular have anything over the anti-slip apart from the cheaper price???

Welder help

So I’m lookin to upgrade and get a new welder, right now I just have the titanium 125 flux core welder. I wanna get into MiG and tig so I can eventually do some aluminum projects (intercooler piping, etc.). The problem is, I only have a 110 outlet in my garage, no 240. It’s on a 20a circuit and my flux core machine does just fine even with the settings cranked up. I understand that tig is a higher demand than what I’m doing with my little flux core machine, so my question is have anyone ran this machine or something similar on the 110 outlet? How’d it perform? Is my goal to even run tig and weld aluminum on 110 even feasible? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

Return hassles.

Does anyone else get a guilt trip or hassle returning products. I have literally returned maybe 1 to 2 percent of my total purchase totals. A Bauer 1/4 impact and the Bauer hand held power washer. Both within 30 days and with a receipt Both times you would have thought it was coming out of the employees own pocket. Are employees encouraged to make the return process uncomfortable for their store metrics or something?
Customers should not be hassled about legitimate returns.

Pittsburgh pro 1/4 torque wrench asks to store with lock knob tighten(line 12)

Just bought this 1/4 torque wrench from HF today along with 1/2 and 3/8. I noticed that other than the 1/4 wrench, both 3/8 and 1/2 says store with lock knob loosen(the way I know it). Does anyone know if it’s something special about their 1/4 torque wrench?

With the coupon everything was 40 bucks altogether

So I typically only stick with Milwaukee for 12 volt and flex 24 volt for my bigger tools but I'm going to trust in harbor freight because they haven't let me down yet and I'm going to wait on the new ratchets and impacts to come out so I went ahead and bought a battery with the 15% off coupon.

What's your guys experience with herclues 12v mini cut off tool?

Also I used the coupon yesterday and then used it again today, so I don't know if that will work for everybody. But it does just say one item per day per person so if you didn't manage to buy anything with the coupon today and you have time tomorrow you should go up there if you're in need of something.
