You need it Jeff. Once you use it you will wonder how you did without it.

BTW I doubt there is any difference in the Jackrapid Home depot sells vs one from a supply house.

It would be tough to tell except by how it holds up.

I was at my friends locksmith shop the other day. Customer comes in with a Schlage lockset and wants it rekeyed. My friend comes into the work area with it where I'm having my coffee and removes the cylinder from the knob. He then goes to remove the top from the cylinder that holds the pins and springs in place and the whole thing flies apart. Normally it is staked or crimped on and you have to pry it off. This one came apart by itself and no way could you put it back on. He asks the customer if he bought it at HD. Yup!

He's seen it before, these are not meant to be rekeyed or at least not made so that they could be. They look EXACTLY like the Schlage locksets he has on the shelf even down to the SKU number.
