How about they are "morons" not the color maroon :-)

as Bugs would say. FWW had a review of spindle sanders in their Tools

It
just so happens that I'm interested in making some bandsaw boxes, and
I've had my eye on the RIDGID one for a long time, so I had to run
out
to Home Depot and buy one. :-)
So I ask the guy where the sanding spindles are, because I want to
get
some extras. He says, "We don't carry any spindles except we have
this
one pack" -- and he drags out an old shopworn plastic bag of sanding
spindles for the Ryobi, which they also sell. So I ask him if they
will
be getting some in, and he says, "No, we don't carry them at all."
I'm thinking why on earth would somebody sell a sander with a
lifetime
guarantee and not sell the sanding spindles for it?
None were to be found on the HD web site when I searched for "sanding
spindles" or "sanding sleeves." Klingspors has a wide variety, of
course.
Just another chapter in the story of the long, slow slide of HD into
irrelevance.
But is Argon that clever?
