Why Purchase an Industrial Grade Product?
When the hardware store down the street sells a similar product or it can be purchased online with a single click, why should you buy an industrial grade product from a local business?
When shopping at the hardware store, store brand models usually indicate the product has been made with cheaper parts, lacking in durability. While this equipment is good, it’s not great. Off brand equipment, specifically welders, are built with whatever bargain priced parts are on the market at the time. This develops an issue when any of these parts break. Looking for compatible consumables or parts to repair the machine will lead the consumer down a frustrating rabbit hole, as they can be extremely difficult to track down, and therefore difficult to fix. A piece of equipment may even appear to be the same high-quality brand, such as Lincoln or Miller, but it is still not considered industrial grade.
Although power tools and equipment such as welding machines may be cheaper at Home Depot, Lowes or even Amazon, an industrial grade product purchased from a manufacturer recommended distributor is the only wise way to go. It’s the only way to guarantee a high-quality product with after-purchase support if and when anything goes wrong. When searching for a welder distributor on a manufacturer’s website, hardware stores are not listed.
Online purchases are especially dangerous, because there is no face-to-face interaction to ensure you are buying the right product or materials needed for your specific application. Without a customer service resource, such complex equipment can cause issues in your workflow, slow down what you are trying to accomplish and create un-needed additional expenses.
When making the large purchase of industrial equipment, it is vital that the product has a warranty. Manufacturers typically include a 3-year warranty. Hardware stores do not perform warranty work when equipment breaks, so the customer would be required to find a business like Rocky Mountain Air willing to fix the product and incur additional cost. If you buy the product from RMA, we will do the warranty work for free.
In the end, it’s well worth the money and could be the most economical and efficient option when everything from pre-purchase questions to warranty repairs are all done at the same location.
