It's so you can carb up for your pilgrimage across the aisles. Okay, now that, that is out of the way. I want to preface this review on one thing. I know absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, about home repair. I can work a plunger. That stuff scares me... Well except electrical work - for some reason I don't mind messing around with wires, that can electrocute me. Sorry... I digress. This place is great for the do-it-yourselfer's. The weekend warriors that like to gussy up their home with the latest in home care. I am not one of those people. But, if I were to choose to become one, this place would be awesome. Anyhow, here is the reason I came in today with my actual review.
For the last couple of days I have been looking for 2 amp slo-blo fuses. Go ahead and laugh about SLO-BLO. If you are finished I can continue. Anyhow, I came in looking for these fuses for a few Fender Amplifiers that I am putting together. I have tried everywhere... Well - not really everywhere - I tried Radio Shack, and they didn't have them. So, my next step was to call Home Depot then Frye's. I was hoping Home Depot had them because this store is close to where I live. So, I called first to see if they had the fuses. I hate calling places with automated messaging. It takes so long to figure out what dept. I want and then get someone on the line. I eventually got through and was transferred to electronics and was helped by, I think his name was Bill. Don't hold me to that name. And, he looked in his inventory and said they had the fuses. Even though, I was still skeptical, I came in the store. I got to the electronics section and low and behold, they had my fuses. They cost more than what I am accustomed to through Amazon or Fender. I was happy! One, for not having to drive across town and two, for being able to get my amps in working order.
So, I am a fan... Who knows? Maybe, if I decide to become a do-it-yourselfer, I'll come back here for all of my needs.
I took a star off for the automated machine.
