I believe in supporting local businesses, but not at twice the price! Need a new cartridge puller for some plumbing work [View all]

so I went to my local hardware/plumbing supply store. The tool I wanted was $80.00; four times what I paid for the last one I bought. Checked on Amazon and found it for $40.00. Exactly the same puller from the same manufacturer. It’ll be delivered tomorrow at no additional cost!
