Buyer Beware

Dave Sherburne NY · Nov 22, 2012

I went to Lowes a few days ago to get a garage door opener. Of course they didn't have the one I wanted. Picked up one of the Utility lights with the yellow handle to carry it around. I put it all together turned it on and it just kinda glowed.
It came with 2 bulbs so I checked the other one and the little box said 120 volts the bulb said 240. the empty box said 120 volts took the bulb out of the light it's 240. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Did I ever tell you how much I miss MADE IN THE USA.

Sir we decided to give our customers twice what they paid for hence the 240 versus the 120 volt bulbs.

Did you get the opener? I just bought one for my daughter's house at Menard's. Chamberlain 1/2 hp and it works really well.

Ah but you know what is the saddest thing. When go go to a store to buy something and the guy hands you the wrong thing and you buy it and it is something you can not take back. Like the other day I went to get a box of 12 gauge slugs so I would have an extra deer gun on hand if I needed it. Got them home and the box clearly says to use in guns with a slug barrel so figure I can not use them in this old single shot gun. Ya I should have read the box closer but the guy should also have told me about them also

Yes I got an opener they had a cheaper one the only difference was I had to buy another push button for a vehicle cost 5 bucks more. The extension kit for a door over 7 feet was on sale for $11 saved almost 23 bucks on that.

You can use those slugs in a smooth barrel there just not as accurate that way since you can't return them try them and see. Some guns are more accurate than others with these

I believe I would stick with what the box said. It'd be bad if the gun blew up in your hands because the slug wouldn't go through the choke in your barrel.

A neighbor kid down here in NC lost 2 or 3 fingers about 20 years ago when his shotgun blew up.

240v bulb should last 2 times as long
