How the mighty have fallen
How the mighty have fallen. I left the following 1 star review for their putty knife at Hone Depot:
"Good luck getting the large sticker labels off both sides!
What they don't show in the pics are the perma-bonded sticker labels on both sides of the knife, covering 3/4's of one side and 20% of the other side. They do NOT peel off. They come off in tiny little pieces, maybe a MM or 2 at a time. And, even that leaves a heavy adhesive residue that takes an adhesive remover to get off. These stickers are NOT meant to come off, rendering the knife useless. Have tried soaking them, spraying the actual labels with goof-off, etc. and all that does is leave an even bigger mess. Contacted Stanley support and they couldn't even be bothered to respond back to me. It is sad to see what has become of what used to be really good companies you could rely on. This will be my last Stanley purchase. If you want a putty knife that you don't have to waste hours getting the labels off before you can use it, look elsewhere!"
(As a side note, it is now about 3 weeks since I received their product, and I have still been unable to completely remove their stickers from the putty knife, despite continued soaking with industrial strength adhesive remover and constant scraping.
I received an email response from them, which made no mention of the actual issue I had with them:
"Thank you for contacting STANLEY® TOOLS

I also received a survey request with a link to answer some survey questions regarding my experience with their support. It contained a link to answer the survey, which turned out to be as bad as their non-support. Here's what I was met with when I clicked the link:
"Website blocked due to phishing
Website blocked: surveycsatnps-sbd.web.app
Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this website because it may contain malware activity.
We strongly recommend you do not continue."
And finally, to add insult to injury, they were unable to even get my last name correct in the email they sent me. What a trainwreck they have become.
