I too am an employee, it is as Mike says, but no one hears about the
200 satisfied customers that come thru the doors daily.

Ok, then, I was a satistied customer today! Of course, I just picked
up some hose clamps and a 5" to 4" adapter that just HAPPENED to show
up in the store yesterday - new product from Delta and all, and just
what I needed! What I went *in* for was a 4" splice to try to build
such an adapter, since our Woodcraft doesn't normally carry stuff for
5" hose.

We , as employees do not like to send a customer away empty handed,
but it does happen.

Our Woodcraft carries heavy iron too. I got a Delta X5 planer a month
or so ago, and they had five in the back, so no shortage there.

But you can always buy clamps if nothing else ;-)
