I am like so totally bummed. My favorite tool, the hammer saw, failed. I wasn't even working it that hard, and SNAP! progress ends. I guess tomorrow a new hammer saw will be on the list of goodies.

JB Weld it back together.
I have a few hammer saws that I have come across in my scrapping journeys that just sit in a pile with other random power tools I have found. What do you use a hammer saw for? I have a few hammer drills, which I think I know what they are used for (concrete/masonry drilling comes to mind).... But I can't think of a situation that would call for a hammer SAW?! Is it like... A sawzall on steroids?
It is just a reciprocating saw. I just like to put "hammer" in front of any tool I really like to use. It makes it sound cooler.... The hammer beer bottle opener is one of my very favorites! It's getting a little late now and I have to get the hammer remote to turn the tv off now. Good night.

So i want to get the job done (or at least make some progress). I take a look around at the sales today, and nothin'! Not a froggin' thing. I get home and do a search on craigslist and marketplace, and a few things, but they want to send it, or I have to drive an hour and a half to get a look. I finally decide I'm going down to HD... (Hunert Dollars... You can never get out of there for under a hunert dollars) to buy a new hammersaw.
I'm just about to head out and I remember I have some blue cards from the blue store.... I never go there so they never get used. The money on them was from new items in the package I picked up at garage sales and returned... For "my" customer.... You know, the customer at the garage sale. I had no idea what was on them, but I figured it was a discount off something I needed to buy....
So, there I am in blue, and there is the $120 12 amp Dewalt with a reduced sticker... $106. I ask the blue guy where the case was and he told me there wasn't one... CRAP! I ask if they can do better, "well, okay. How about $96?". Unhook that bad boy and let's get hammersawing! It gets rung up and I toss the one credit down.... down to $60.. Ding ding. Toss the second, and the gal says, "you still owe $1.57."
Now I get it home, with no case, and I regret not buying the cheaper one because that would have dropped right into the old case... Sigh. I cut the bead on the tire I was working on and it occurs I should check to see if it would fit in the case... It could, with a couple modification. Soooooo....

You're bragging about theft from big box retailers? Wasn't this discussed once before?
Then I got no idea what my other pile of saws are lol. I didn't think hammer saws were something that existed.....
Edit: after googling types of saws I think the other ones I have are "multi saws" ... Which I actually have used before for trim work.
Either way,. Nice new saw

I could have that fixed in 5 minutes with a roll of duct tape.
You can spin it any way you want, it is illegal. If this is how you do all your business, I can see why you aren't very busy.
What makes you think we arent very busy?
Private businesses can choose to accept any return they want for any reason. The burden is on them to decide what requirements they need to accept a return.
Some businesses require an item to be unopened and returned within 7 days with original receipt, some stores will allow you to return any item they sell at anytime, no questions asked.
Why do you think that the government has any right to tell private businesses how they should operate and what returns to accept? Let alone to make or enforce laws around it.
You may not approve how some people do business, and that is fine, you are not obligated to use them. Luckily, in America people can choose how and with who they choose to do business with (for the most part).
You may choose not to do business with someone who returns items to stores, and others may choose not to do business with someone who is hot-tempered and quick to judgement and insults. And both are well within their rights to do so.

That Gamestop story sounds about right. I had a trade show booth a couple years ago where a guy wanted to sell me an old, piece of junk computer (Some old generic Pentium 4 fodder). I had no interest in the thing, so I offered free recycling. He went on the usual rant about how we're making a killing on the gold. So, I figured- whatever. That's not much of a loss. The guy came back later with some junk "TV boards" and dumped them at my booth, still thinking he can sell this worthless Pentium 4. Well, the "TV boards" were actually old motherboards, which I was able to actually sell and make a killing on. As for that Pentium 4, at the end of the show, he had no takers, so he left that at the booth too.
What a strange world we live in
