I believe the question was whether Ryobi was an exclusive brand for HD

in a few internet stores. They may have been sold retail elsewhere but
it is quite clear that HD has an exclusive retail sales deal with them
now.

The fact is that Ryobi stores exist, so it is *not* an exclusive HD brand.


Yeah, ok, if you say so. semantics.

Pick 1,000,000 people and have them drive around their cities trying to
buy new Ryobi tool at anywhere other than Home Depot and get back to me.

Goal post movement noted.

C'mon. It's an exclusive brand. I'm not the one playing semantics.
Any other brand you can find at any other store.
Shouldn't the actual "manufacturer" be the authoritative source for this
information, anyway? :-)

Can you buy a Ryobi tool from another source than HD, or not?
