DepotDecoded

Home Depot isn't a hardware store. It's a pricing machine.

The "deals" are markups. The "exclusive" brands roll off the same factory line as the cheap ones. The warranties are written to expire right before the tool does. And nobody at the register is going to tell you any of it.

Depot Decoded investigates the tricks the big-box tool world runs on customers — the brand collapses, the quiet quality cuts, the contractor exodus, and the price hikes buried in the fine print.

No sponsors. No brand loyalty. Just the part they'd rather you never noticed.
