Thanks that is a cool deal. I'm trying to get it but my card won't go through for some reason. I'll try again tomorrow

I bet your wife found out and locked the card

Home Depot's website is junk. Payment doesn't work through Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Paypal either. wtf

Edit: I found the same deal through Toolup

Weird. My wife and I both placed orders online within the last week without issue.

Glad you found the deal.

I pretty much always use Paypal when ordering from Home Depot.

That might be an issue on your end... I haven't had any issues recently

You're just trying to see how many folks you can fool into making purchases by clicking the Pay Now button.

Any truth to the 6.0 batteries being not as good as the 5.0?

Also if you do the forge and add the belt sander, it brings the forges down to 259 which is a pretty good deal for 2x8 forges.

I just did the same deal on the batteries.

I have no experience with the 6.0, but longed for longer capacity than my half a dozen 5.0’s so jumped on the forge deal with the belt sander.

Unsure of deals but there was some debate as to whether one should acquire the regular or the Fuel version in the 2ish gallon size. When it was mentioned that the Fuel was a whole bunch more sucky, I bought one as a test. No contest and my non Fuel 2 gallon left here with a quickness as a gift to a buddy. I don't give a shit about the Packout function, but the rest of it is stellar. It only has one quirk, there is a little cone adapter that has to be stored in the trash section.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if Fuel is an option it is the answer.

Are there any tools that you’ve run across where that rule of thumb shouldn’t be followed?

With only minor pondering, the M12 Rivet gun isn't Fuel and it is just a delightful tool. I don't think most of the lights are Fuel and I have few complaints about any of them. I'll think on it some more and see if anything comes to mind.

To be fair, I did qualify it with “if Fuel is an option”. I know on some things it’s not an option, like the lights. Isn’t Fuel the designation for brushless?

The juice may not be worth the squeeze on that. May be amazing though.

While trying to see if they made a Fuel grease gun, this popped up. Seems scammy. Can anyone tell one way or another?

I asked on the other forum if anyone had any experience with them or if there's a better deal somewhere. I'll post back any feedback I get.

The response I received. Plus it's .io and not .com -

I would guess it's a scam. Their 4.6 star score at Trustpilot might make them look legit, but looking at the actual reviews, all the recent ones are one star. Which tells you they loaded up on fake reviews initially, but now, the truth comes out.

And then there's this, from the Reddit AI.

SuperArbor.io is widely reported by Redditors as an untrustworthy site that often fails to deliver orders and uses a cancellation/holding tactic that can cost buyers money.

Common scam reports

They delay or never ship orders. "They just stole from me. Literally took my money and delivered nothing."

They add large shipping fees after purchase. "They ... said, 'your order is ready, but now $1500 to ship'."

They charge or keep money via cancellation rules. "If you cancel, they automatically get 20% of the amount."

Payment and dispute issues

Authorization holds or delayed charges are used against buyers. "They say it could take 10 weeks to ship, so that way you think it’s still coming and then they never ship your order."

Credit-card disputes sometimes lose because of their terms. "My credit card disput ended in their favor due to 'agreed upon refund policy' but my items straight up was never sent."

Workarounds suggested by users: wait for hold to expire and cancel card. "Wait long enough for the original authorization hold to expire ... Change your card number/cancel your card."

Delivery and product problems

Received wrong or different products. "When I got the order, surprisingly delivered by Home Depot, it was not what was advertised on their website."

They may resell or drop-ship items they do not actually stock. "They don't have product, they arbitrage ... If they can't arbitrage, they don't care, because they want you to cancel."

Other red flags users noted

Poor or no customer service and long wait times. "Customer service will never call you. Wait times are 95 minutes+."

Conflicting site info and fake trust signals. "Trustpilot is a good resource ... but Trustpilot is mostly glowing which conflicts with a lot of other posts."

What Redditors recommend

Avoid ordering from the site. "Do Not Use Super Arbor IO."

If already ordered, monitor card activity and consider dispute or card replacement. "I canceled my card and when the authorization charge expired ... they weren't able to charge me again."

Search Reddit and BBB for complaints before buying. "The BBB reviews help you form a big picture."

Overall, multiple independent Reddit posts describe SuperArbor.io as poorly run or outright scammy — many buyers report missing items, surprise fees, and difficulty getting refunds. If an order is already placed, watch your card closely, contact your bank about holds and disputes, and consider cancelling or replacing the card to block further charges.
