16 Obscure Tools At Home Depot You Probably Didn't Realize Existed

www.slashgear.com: Home Depot is not only America's largest home improvement retailer, but is also the largest in the world, with over 2,300 stores. If you're a frequent Home Depot shopper, you might think you're very familiar with the products on the shelves of your local store, but there will inevitably be a few obscure products that you've walked past without knowing. Then, there's Home Depot's website, which is another matter entirely and sells all sorts of unexpected items.

These tools are…. Interesting to say the least. An electric wheelbarrow, I get some use cases for these but just why? Especially for $600, I just don’t see this as a good investment especially when you can buy a normal wheelbarrow for around $100. The Milwaukee speaker is the same as buying a phone charger from DeWalt, fine in a pinch but certainly not worth the price. I am sure, absolutely sure, you can buy a nice bose speaker for that same price it goes for. It’s just not worth it. This also is the same for the coffee maker, just why. I do really like the door stabilizer, I find that very useful to folks especially working with an annoying door a little wind will slam shut in your face. I also like the backpack battery, I find this very useful for when you need to use the tool for a long time and will save you a bit of time in the long run. The rest of these are useful depending on what field you are in, but I can certainly see a reason behind these existing.
