    For the tools, why not see if there are any local schools that could use them? Or even if there are kids who are in wood shop classes to get them started, they might want them. Great video!

      Yeah and even if its broken, handy guy can easily fix some issues like damaged frame. Hell even if some of the tools are not same as mine, that is not a issue long as voltage is the same. You can get cheap tool, get couple dollar adapter or even make it your self and use your battery brand of choice for those tools. None of it is waste really just lack of ingenuity and effort. Still i prefer corded tools when working with ones that are least used like garden and yard stuff. Corded almost never dies from lack of use, while batteries will die from it and always degrade over time.

    I work at Lowe’s so we get some real doozies of returns. A lot of the cashiers are not taught to check product (I assume to avoid confrontation with aggressive customers). Once we got a 5 gallon bucket of paint, that was actually just water, tools kits returned with no batteries or chargers and a whole lot of buy one get one, where the buy one was returned. One time after a pretty bad rain we sold like 25 shop vacs and got like 10 returned I assumed after being used thoroughly.

      It's not like that at Lowe's, "in my experience anyway."
      My daughter bought me a big Craftsman shop vac for Father's day & I didn't even take it out of the box until around a month later. I vacuumed my car's out & noticed it was smelling funny but just thought it was probably just packing oil or something like that. So the second time I used it "probably around another month" the motor started smoking and it died. So I carried it back to Lowe's not wanting to return it for money, I just wanted to exchange it for another vacuum. I explained everything to the sales clerk and she said it's been longer than 30 days so I would have to call Craftsman. The next day I called & they just transferred me from department to department. After about 30 minutes of that I got frustrated & decided to call back the next day just to get the exact same run around. I tried several times but got nowhere with Craftsman.
      So for me never again will I ever buy or recommend Craftsman or Lowes to anyone.

      So just curious, to those of you who work at a hardware store: Have you read the terms of the return policy? And if you did inspect an item that was heavily used or incomplete is that grounds to refuse a return? And lastly, if the corporation doesn’t care… Why do you?

    The guy who invented the Black and Decker Workmate lived local to me and he was a very rich man. He negotiated a small royalty for each Workmate sold and they sold a lot. Also in the ‘80s DeWalt bought Swiss power tool company Elu. Their colour was charcoal grey with orange highlights like switches, these also became B&D professional, colour, all black and DeWalt. I still have a 20 year old 1/2 inch DeWalt router that is an Elu, still working great.

Imagine a cave table filled with blue epoxy to look like water and a light fitted underneath it so it looks like an underwater cave? 🤯 You could even add little details to like seaweed or algae it would literally be the most epic thing ever.

    I don't understand why people hate on Ryobi so much. My stepdad still has the cordless Ryobi tools from when they came out in the 90's, they still work and they have taken a beating. He used to be a carpenter. I have several Ryobi tools. My drill has been dropped from 8ft+ several times. I drop f bombs like crazy when it happens but the drill still works like brand new. My wife and I have a house that was built in 1881 and it constantly needs work. Ryobi is my go to because of it's affordable price and Ryobi is extremely reliable.

    The boxes filled with mutiple of the same labeled not in system, are frim what the industry calls, "a reset".
    That's when they go through an aisle or two or even an entire store , move everything around, and pull the items which are no longer stocked. It could be different packaging, or just a complete deletion of the item from the stores selection.
    Also, manufacturers pay for better shelf space, so depending on new contracts stuff will move because of that.
    In supermarkets they'll move stuff an aisle or two so you need to search, therefore making you look at more product, and seeing more things you, "need".

    Consider different outreach or service groups to donate the tools to. Groups that help rebuild after natural disasters (think small organizations that don’t have a lot of press coverage). One group we have given tool sets to before is a church in Gallaway, Tennessee. Their outreach to the community is to host a “Christmas store” where people of all ages can come in and “buy*” items for their families. (*no actual money is exchanged, this is the church trying to help people lift themselves from poverty.) It’s amazing to see how these opportunities can bring joy in difficult situations. The feedback we have been given from the donated tool sets has always been encouraging. Just an idea.

    that one that said "not found in system" is actually really common all over retail, companies receive product from the same companies and errors happen resulting in say Lowes receiving some Home Depot products.

    I’d love to see if you can get your hands on returns from super premium tools like festool and Hilti. Probably would be tougher to source but I suspect there are a lot of speciality tools whom get returned after 1 job.

    Even if you break even on the value, none of it is under warranty. You’re better off paying retail with a warranty. Plus if you’re reselling, there’s always seller fees and shipping depending on the selling platform, so it’s not worth it unless you can double your money from what you paid in total.

    My grandma bought a Ryobi leaf blower in battery along with the charger. She was very dissatisfied with the power that it would remove leaves with. I immediately had her return that and went to harbor freight and was able to get one with nearly twice the cubic feet per minute for half the price she paid for the battery charger and blower not to mention she got a free drill along with it that she gave to me. That drill is one of the best drills that I own and honestly significantly better than my Milwaukee. It might sound controversial but when it comes to twerk it gets its ass kicked every time.

    4:30 ryobi honestly has some cool storage kits/organizers. And it's 1/3 the price of other name brands. I understand the dislike but for occasional things it's not bad. Certain tools I'll spend more but for things I don't use often ryobi is just fine.

    This looks like all seasonal promo items which at the time were sold at a discount, after the promo is over they go back to "retail" price which is why there are odd prices when you look them up. You can start your own swap meet with this junk. On a side note, the first power took I bought brand new was a Ryobi drill about 12 years ago and it still works fine with the original 2 batteries, I have since replaced Dewalt, Ridgid branded batteries, and tools that were only a couple years old. As a former big box DIY associate I'd say we'd throw away pallets like this almost daily and it was included in daily budgets.

    Ryobi is the broke dope doing a home project power tool setup, lol. So any of those you don't want you can send my way. Is it as nice as the red ones nahh, but it gets the job done. Been working on a house and grew the house by about 4 inches over the summer. Pulled the siding off one nail and board at a time added some 2X2's (actually started ripping 2X4's in half to make my own and save cash) with caulking between the new board and old board around the edges and windows to help seal. So basically turned a 2X4 cavity on a 1911 built house into a 2X6 cavity, stuffed that with R19 along with some new electrical and datacomm, and then capped that with 2" thick foamboard which was sealed to the next piece and around the edges to the studs. After all that I put the siding back in place with some 3" long screws till the funds are available to replace the siding. Most of the power tools were Ryobi 18V, along with a simple used pawnshop bought miter saw. I used a level as a straight edge and one of the 5.5" circular saw to make the actual cut on the foamboard where it was needed because it was super fast, easy and simple to get done vs trying to use a utility knife.
    Still got a ton to do on the house but I can't knock the Ryobi stuff I have. Oh and as a bonus the city had a waterline break and they use Dewalt tools for a lot of stuff. Their batteries are shot so my Ryobi brushless sawzall was used to cut a 6" steel water line so they could get out of there in an hour instead of 5.
