Is Ryobi an "exclusive label"?

No - and that is a foolish question. Ryobi is available a lot of places
besides HD. No Ryobi models are manufactured for HD- they are all standard
models, available anywhere else Ryobi is sold.


That used to be true. Can you tell me where else other than
re-manufactured? I have not been able to locate a new retailer other
than Home Depot.
