Always test the tools under load. Just because it spins doesn't mean it works.
👍👍👍👍
@@shawngleason1345 something tells me he absolutely excepts returns. But won't accept them.
@@shawngleason1345 I'm fourteen. 😂
Exactly. I’ve taken my Milwaukee fuel drill, circ saw, and impact back a different times. All worked but slipped under load.
Something tells me he’s doesn’t have a clue about how tools actually work nor does he care so long as someone makes the mistake of buying his junk
I like how he said the prices he gonna sell it for as he aggressively drops it on the floor
I cringed every time he tossed a tool and a charger, when you have brand new drills and impacts, with no batteries, they were probably stolen out of the kit, that is why there is a green tag on the items, most of those chargers go with the tools and bags, when putting them together, hopefully you take time to match them correctly...lol, and that big drill is a Hole Hawg and goes for over $300 new, and yes many people buy tools use them then return them because they are done with them
I swear it was like watching a horror flick.. even after a while, knowing what was going to happen... I still jumped, grinded my teeth and shouted ughhhh lol
My wife said this video is hurting your feelings... I replied no, it's breaking my heart!! (literally)
This guy clearly has no clue how to do this right. The slamming down of tools is sad. I wonder how man now have something broken. The hole hawg is a nice tool. I used to have a super old milwaukee. The commutaor shorted and burnt up. It was a sad day. I got it used for 20 dollars when a company I worked for traded out all of their old tools for new ones. I almost bought a core drill as well with a bunch of used bits close to their end of life.
The sparking on the corded impact is totally normal for a brushed motor. Almost everything corded is brushed. Still looked fairly thrashed though.
That's how mechanics burn there garage down..
@@briandrake9467 nope. first time i handled a brushed tool it scared the shit out of me too till i realized all brushed tools do this.
You are correct but that impact also has a safety recall if I remember.
A $5 set of new brushes will bring that impact back to life.
Sparking tones down quite significantly with a bit of use anyway. Totally normal for a new power tool which has seen little use. Or a very old one with a motor that's barely hanging on for dear life.
18:00 sparking does not necessarily indicate a burnt up motor, it indicates more the technology of the motor (motors that spark when used are brushed motors and those that dont spark are brushless) there are many more differences also. Brushless motors are considered higher end and usually used in more expensive tools.
me and a friend got brushless sets and he dropped his in paint then it started sparking
They are not necessarily used in higher end tools. Brushless are almost exclusively used for cordless tools because they are more efficient, and deliver more power for less voltage, which is critical when you have to rely on a battery as a power source. They are also a lot more difficult to maintain and repair than brushed motors.
@@darthioan While brushless is indeed more prominent than a brushed motor the brushed versions of tools are still available, but brushless is more popular. Brushless is indeed more efficient, but that's more along the lines of how much electrical energy (watts) is converted into mechanical energy output via the motor, not necessarily voltage. I'm also unsure of where the difficult to maintain part comes from, the motors themselves are actually much more simple than a brushed motor. The drive controllers for the motor are the more complex part.
I bought a makita 18v Xlt impact & hammer drill just to start should I sell and up grade to the newer brushless models
"looks brand new" Throws it on the ground casually.
'I'm going to empty this box by throwing the contents on the floor.'
Also called a drill an impact, and an impact driver an impact
@@damienirvin777 everything is impact. Impact wrench, impact rollmate
😂
😆
i like the way you handle these tools . so carefully and with a lot of respect . 😊😊
I was thinking the same thing price is even lower after it gets thrown 5 feet.
Yep but this guy never used a tool in his life because he is a tool!
😂
Makes me feel pretty good about how I handle potential customers items! Tossing anything on the floor is straight fucking laziness and gives this dude a bad name!
@@cybersamiches4028 i doubt a milwaukee will break after being thrown into a pile of cardboard
Home Depot had a promotion that if you bought the cordless drill driver and impact tool only you would get a free M18 battery, when they ring up, the receipt shows the price broken up and people bring the tools back and keep the battery which is listed for half the shelf price. The battery starter kit had the charger, a 2mah and a 5Mah battery and would show up on the receipt for $99.00 but the shelf price is $199.oo for the kit then they return the tools they get $99.00 less than they spent. and there was a similar promo for the M12 tools, hence many tools and far less batteries.
@Disposable Dad It is called the Home Depot Hack. It happens all the time and always with the Milwaukee tool promo's
@@bruceaugustine6486 sounds like you do it
@@southaussiegarbo2054 Well I do not, my tools are all yellow and black, Buy i know many that do.
@@bruceaugustine6486 wow
hacks are done with new tools, unopened and completely new. Those items are sold as new after return. Nothing wrong or unethical about doing a "hack"
Love buying returned tools, in 90-95% its an easy fix. For example i bought a bandsaw that just needed a screw tightened
Love how he just hits the trigger for a second, and says "it works" as if that's a real test for issues.
If I throughly tested each item on the video, it would be much longer.
@@ResaleRabbit let's be honest here - you wont be "thoroughly testing" any of them.
@@kctyphoon why would he?
@@TheJapagu “wanna buy some power tools that might not work” ill give ya a good deal, but no returns, just store credit cause I’m good like that.
@@ResaleRabbit But that is why you edit each video... fast forward to get to the facts.
There is a reason they get sent back.
Oh I think you made your money back and then some. Everyone loves Milwaukee, so every item you have will be an easy sell. Nicely done
I really appreciate when you say people are stealing, too many people doing it.
Keep throwing all those plastic batteries and chargers and tool casings on the cement ground like that… smart for sure.
They're mostly molded from 30% glass-filled nylon 6, which can take a hell of a beating. -Probably not great for the internals, tho.-
Was thinking that the entire time just a slob!!!
Ouch. The pain when tossing the batteries and tools. My tools were stolen, so I've joined the 21st century with cordless milwaukee tools. In a few cases, the batteries cost more than the tool it runs. I had no idea of their cost before that, but I'll tell ya, I really like my new tools. I'm taking proper care, use, and storage of my batteries quite seriously now.
Item at 9:42 is the bottom to a sprayer unit. Basically a battery compartment and a motor that drives a pump that's part of the Interchangeable tanks that fit in it. Decent haul of team Red. Worth well over what you paid. What amuses me about the whole pallet full is how many M18 kit bags there were, yet not a single m18 battery. Pretty much anything that comes in the zipper bag comes with at least one battery, if not two. The most common advertisement sale item is a drill and impact driver with 2 batteries. If you want to have anything checked over, warranty work, etc, The Power Tool Store/Bay Verte Machinery is in your area. They're a couple blocks off of the Oneida/41 interchange. Was just there a few days ago picking up some parts.
As somebody says bec lithium battery's requires special shipping and raises cost they recycle the battery's and resell the rest why only battery in units or in harder to recognize packaging made it in
@@trueheart1372 There were M12 batteries in the pallet, which means this was done before it got to a shipping process.
These are mostly returns of the two kit deals that Home Depot runs where you get a tool kit with multiple tools and a battery kit with multiple batteries. The purchaser returned the tools and kept the battery kit because the retail value of the battery kit was much higher than the value marked on the receipt.
That cheeky Rabbit face at the end...priceless!😊
The pointed handle end can be for knockout plugs on outlet boxes and for deburring the inside of metal conduit after cutting with a pipe cutter. Saves sagging of the wire sheathing.
They also work great for pinching the fuck out of your hands when that have the jaw on the smallest joint. Worst slip joint pliers ever made
also great for eating eggrolls
I find they work good for knocking Dingleberrys from the bush
Our son has a tool guy (who buys like you) that he gets all of his Milwaukee, Ryobi, DeWalt, Ridgid tools from. He doesn’t pay what you said that you would sell yours for. Wish you the best. Especially the way that you were tossing them around. The only reason I clicked on was for the Milwaukee tools(just curious)
The sparking in the motor is the brushes if you don’t have brushless tools you have brushes in them and it’s normal
4 vids in like 10 days?! It’s like robot John has taken over.
Please takemore care of your merchandise. Every1 is pointing this out. Respect !
The tools are designed to take a drop if they can't handle a one to three foot drop it's because they're either already damaged or have a serious design flaw.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 eat shit
@@GamerCheatsForAll All you Jr
The sad thing is that the lack of batteries ruins the value. It costs just about as much for the batteries as tools. And in my experience the tools generally outlast the batteries.
Most power tools are sold without batteries in the store nowadays
All those Milwaukee tool have a defect you can hear the tool struggling when you run the tools by the sound from the motor, lack of power even though you have a fully charged battery.
Totally enjoyed! Glad you are doing more vids…
I heard if you throw your tools on the ground it increases their value
opinion: Make sure to put some cuts in the video to remove the dead air searching for the prices. Also some visuals with tool prices and totals might be interesting to see!!
Dude, I suggest that you make your own video...
It's not water. It's a spirit level. Someone's drunk the spirit. :D
Put an impact and drill together makes the set better
Thats neat another, sling, knackered charger.
Hi, I might be interested in some of that bags. Can you give me an idea of how we cad see and discuss about them?
Best "You break, you buy" in glass shop.😆
The grubby corded impact wrench was a safety recall, you can be liable if you sell it. You should always check for safety recalls.
Caveat emptor
He would not be liable. Lmfao
I loved the all tools and I know you will make money because you know what you’re doing your videos are the best keep them coming and I will keep watching
Don't think those battery chargers are to durable to being thrown on the ground.
they are
Its like Christmas Day!!! I need to buy me a returned pallet full of Milwaukee tools.
The Milwaukee stuff should sell like hotcakes. I was at my Home Depot recently to buy a 1/2 inch mid torque impact. I was shopping the Dewalts when the Milwaukee sales rep walked up and asked what I was looking for. I told him and he walked me over to the Milwaukee cabinet and matched the Dewalt price. Win win for me.
I understand that you paid $500 for the panel , great price !!! But why did they throw all that trash in it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@petemicofsky4296 they didn’t take up the space in their dumpster 😆😆😆😆😆plus make some$$$
The power tools are questionable. so, selling them wil depend on price. I don't see $1500 in this pallet.
It's all foreign made junk...NONE of it's worth the cost...
I am curious which brands tools you use ? Most power tools are manufactured offshore. I don’t have any particular brand loyalty but I know Home Depot can’t keep Milwaukee in stock at my store.
I worked at a hardware store. And could get most things at a good price. One thing I would never buy is refurbished stuff except if I had a small special job to do, and since I have refurb many tools I kind of know what to look for. And the best to look for are the ones people buy at the big box stores use one time and then take it back. Looks like you got a few of those there.
I could be wrong but I think the fuel line is the brushless. If it doesn’t say fuel it’s a brushed motor which aren’t bad but they are definitely way cheaper.
I just saw a pallet about this size sell for $4,000. Everybody's into doing this now and it's tough to get a deal
Yeah...Buying shit in pallets became a new bubble such as housing or stock market in recent past. Real players with experience stepped aside and paused their activity while flocks of newcomers are ripped off.
@@hernanmigliori1913 yeah I gave up on the pallet buying. Made money on one pallet that was about it
I'm in complete agreement with you on someone using the tool once then returning it is stealing. If companies didn't have to absorb the cost of people doing selfish crap like that, things might be a little cheaper. Not only is it a scummy thing to do, but what happens if they do another project that requires the tool they refunded? Do they do the same thing? We used to call stuff like that the "idiot tax" because eventually everyone suffers from it.
It's stuff like this that makes me wish we could go back to the days of "you break it, you bought it."
I see most battery machines you need to buy the battery separately here in the UK.
Im jelaous that we dont have stuff like this where i live
Works fine but I can’t test it. Mind blowing
😂😭
6:40 Dewalt 12v/20v chargers are two in on their batteries fit in same charger dock, so you can only charge on at a time.
Someone may have already mentioned this - Milwaukee tools have wonderful warranties. You could potentially send in any tools that aren't working and get them fixed for free. They even send you a shipping label to send them in.
You need a receipt
@@douglantow7219 are you sure? You might be correct but who saves receipts?
you can do it without proof of purchase using the serial number but that would be 6-12+ months older than when purchased
@@douglantow7219 No receipt needed. the tools have a date code that is used...
@@douglantow7219 nope I’ve been bring dewalt broken tools back to home deport for years now no receipt needed ..
I have done this for years, it's profitable but time consuming to test power tools. I think you overpaid but can still make a decent profit good luck
So this is how offer up woks🤔
And wish, kinda lol
The channel locks have that exposed end for electricians to punch knock out holes in boxes without destroying the rubber moldings
Bottom of the pliers are used for tub drains and shower head arms
9:45 That is the base for a 'Milwaukee Switch Tank' backpack sprayer.
The Milwaukee vice grips that are messed up still have value someone can strip the spring or the adjustment bolt really think about the tools before you throw them away or ask a construction worker what they think about the tools before you trash them
I was holding out to see if you found a 18V battery.
It seems like a common theme for things people return. Either it's junk or it's a on time use in your life and. Costs to much to keep sitting for 20 years till you need it again
For a guy buying and selling tools, your knowledge of tools is ka ka
Good thing they have model numbers!
@@ResaleRabbit Check the majority of comments, someone is scamming saying you are giving tools away using your info.
at 6:41 you mention about Dewalt charger. The same Dewalt charger will charge both 20v and 12v, the connections are identical, but the batteries are not interchangeable.
The chargers where like the scarf out of the hat 🎩
The stiletta hammer goes for some good money fyi because it's engineered 14 ounces but hits like a 28ounces hammer
Almost all of Dewalt chargers charge both 12 and 20 volt batteries. Dewalts are integrated together. Milwaukee has to have two different posts.
Yes 👍
You doing awesome I made a fortune doing what your doing!
Nice video. Lots of detail. Can we get an update on this stuff sold? Did you break even or profit?
DeWalt does (or did) do 7.2v to 18v chargers. I have one but you can't charge both at the same time. There are some available that will though I believe they are not made by or branded as DeWalt. I'd suggest when doing a search for a price, edit it so that you check off camera and then share the page ideally full screen.
The stilleto hammer is a 125 dollar hammer. That's what I paid for mine at Genahl lumber here in southern CA
I think I saw a chip out of the bottom of the handle (22:43) which would explain the return. Unlikely to effect performance.
@@Kevin-go2dw Probably won't affect performance either.
Did you notice that you called the pump pliers Channel Locks. Mine is made by Craftsman and I too call em "Channel Locks". LOL
I'm not sure of this but I believe the jaws are shaped different. The "water pump" pliers look similar to channel lock pliers except that the pump pliers have "round" shaped jaws while the channel locks have "straight shaped jaws as you would find with pipe wrenches.
How many electricians laughed when he said "I wouldn't want to lift that thing (Hole Hog), on a job site"??
the backpack is a sprayer backpack i think and the mystery battery is the milwaukee battery
If you find a battery I laughed almost every time I heard that because the batteries are 150 each haha
I had to buy an M18 battery to test them. Thankfully they were on sale, 2 mid grade ones for $99
The channel locks have the metal exposed at the bottom for reaming pipe
Seems like you are getting pallets that one or two other people have had before you. The reason I'm saying it is because it's all chargers that no one needs and not the tools those chargers come with. I work in construction and use DeWalt battery tools and I must say I have about 20 chargers just sitting there and should really just go in the trash. Any time you buy a tool that comes with batteries you get a charger and they rarely if ever go bad. I have never had a charger break. So the people getting the pallet before you is taking the tools and leaving the bags that come with them and the chargers. They keep the valuable batteries and tools and leave the junk no one wants. I have thrown away many of the DeWalt bags the tools come with also. I do use one as a lunch bag though
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this is stores returning shit because pieces were stolen
Like a christmas day
Would you mind sharing which pallet place you bought that milwaukee stuff from?
why my heart is beating fast? oh my god Returned Milwaukee Tools
Why is it even allowed to return sets without all the components? Someone clearly needed only that one socket and returned the rest of that set. Damn these people... that is basically stealing.
It's not missing a socket, it's missing the 1/4-3/8 adapter. They break extremely often so they prolly snapped the adapter and therefore couldn't use the sockets on his 1/4 impact gun so they returned the set
@@thedewdster Still, user broke it.
@@SomeNordicMan You bought it from the store with a warranty. If I buy a new tool and it breaks in under 30 days, that tool is getting returned to the store because that tool is defective. If it breaks after the return period but under the warranty period, that tool is getting returned to the manufacturer. That warranty and assurance of quality is why I'm paying extra for the brand name from Milwaukee instead of a budget line from Harbor Freight. Unless I did something obviously abusive, I didn't break the tool, the tool was defective and that's on the manufacturer.
@@ryhk3293 No, there was components missing, Milwaykee just doesn't break that easily. You should return every component of the kit, even the defective ones.
If you return within the warranty time and the management accept your reason why worry. I've a tiler mate returns electric tile cutters regularly as they accept that dust damages moving parts.
At 15:30 .. its not broken. The "tip" (chuck, whatever is the proper name) is removable :) A threaded pocket is inside the drill and i bet it is one of a standard sizes. It happened with me, that a few days ago, by heavily pushing my tool, this "tip" has unscrewed. IDK it was not tightened in factory enough or my abuse caused to come loose, but simply screwed back, tightened with hand and its cool ever since.
Long story short: dont sell for parts, find a suitable "tip" and you are probably good to go
If you didn’t fish 1500 outta that box before the half way point I’d be shocked. Looks like the manager sent some 18 year old kids around with a box on a pallet on December 26th and said make some room. Good score.
You can tell this guy understands tools
Lol not so
More than the average joe but still not really.
Yeah, that's gonna be a NO buddy.
Just an FYI DeWalts 20v chargers also charge their older and newer 12v batteries, I do it all the time
Actually you got some good tools. But sad for the poor sap who buys them
People keep arguing that some of these tools may have" under load" problems, I'm sure he sells the tools ' as is" with no warranty. Come on people he's not selling them as new tools I'm sure. I bought storage auctions, and made nice change👍
It's sad to see how me miss handle expensive items like these. People taking advantage of stores and returning stuff after use...just insane how consumerism is off the charts!
School really wasn't your thing, I see.
I need an 18 volt charger in my bathroom. It's the only room in the house that doesn't have a charger in it. How much?
It's amazing how many people return perfectly working tools to the store that store "damages out" rather than putting back on the self for a discount. I'm sure clay has a good story.
Because you get a brand new one no questions asked if you have the receipt and it’s under warranty😂 and no they are not perfectly normal
Most of the time my Home Despot stores ( here in Canada)resells them again if everything is there, used to do for a 3rd off or many times 1/2 price, but hardly anymore since the Pandemic .
If the store just put them back on the shelf for 50% off people would just buy tools, open then up, return them, and then buy them again for 50% off.
Nah, someone else would get it before you could.
This type of behavior has created entire global companies! Ever heard of cpo outlets? Any tool I’ve ever got from them is brand new but legally has to be etched somewhere with RF for refurbished!
I believe when he starts listing ,coz this is just unboxing will test them under some load .He has to.
Clay was my plumber who snaked the drain for me a few years ago
Never realized you were in Green Bay!
Those look like customer trade-ins not returns, I don't know why but it really bothers me when people buy new things and bring in their old tools claiming it was the one the purchased a week ago and demand a refund.
well if home cheapo would bother to be more attentive and check serial numbers, it wouldnt be as rampant as it is. but nope, they just blindly accept what customer brings in
Those are for opening bungholes on 55 gallon drums.
If you have other slide on battery packs such as Makita or DeWalt then you can buy a cheap adapter to adapt it to Milwaukee.
Can't go wrong with milwaukee it's my favorite brand. Lots of tools in that line.
BIG BOX OF JUNK...?
@@TJB1510 NO…?
My power tools are Makita and Milwaukee and I won't spend money on anything else. That said, Milwaukee design and quality weren't as high as their reputation warranted for a good stretch in the 2000s and 2010s. They've improved a lot in the past few years and I wouldn't hesitate to buy the latest FUEL lines, but their tools from 5-10 years ago left a lot to be desired. Compare the M12 Hackzall from to the M12 Fuel Hackzall. The former is a mediocre tool while the latter is a really well engineered tool. Go check out the AvE tool teardowns for these two tools to see how different the quality of engineering and manufacturing there is between them.
my guy went after amputees and said "you better grow another hand"
Makes me wonder why so much stuff is "customer returned". If that happened to me I'd be outta here. Do people return the stuff after the job is done?
Lots of people will buy an item, use it for one job, then return it. You also need to consider that millions of items are purchased every day, so it’s only a small percentage being returned.
@@ResaleRabbit True.
Many years ago, B&Q (the UK equivalent to Home Depot or Lowes) opened a huge new store in my home city.
As part of their new trade counter promotion, they offered a no questions asked returns policy for 28 days after purchase.
Every builder for miles around gamed the system to the point that the store had to hire in a 40 yard skip.
As the skip hire company had a policy of sorting the waste to reduce landfill, they made a killing selling on all the returned items as they were able to test them.
People use the item for one job and return it all the time. If you pay with cash they return cash, no questions asked. You have 90-days to do this in the USA.
@@henri6595 yep. Lowes does it too. last week my foreman had to buy a craftsman hammer drill so we could bolt down manhole lids, the drill burnt out after doing about 3 lids. took it back to Lowes with no issues. but we did tell them it burnt out and stopped working.
It looked like the guy he bought the pallet from pick it clean of most of the good stuff.
At least resellers are making the best out of people who buy stuff, use it for what they needed, then immediately return it. Those people infuriate me, they don't care that those tools will just end up in land fills. I would love to know the percentage that end up being trashed vs sold to resellers.
And the lithium batteries are ALL being recycled - because its easier than doing the paperwork to ship them. (that is why they were all gone, other than the small ones they missed)
Go cry about it 😂
I am even wondering why the shops are accepting the returns once the goods have been used.
@@olivier2553 because they don’t care, same way they don’t care about theft or employee wages. It’s about maximizing profits im sure they still make a profit selling these to 3rd parties + the credits from the vendors. They’re good. Find something meaningful to waste your time on cause this ain’t it.
@@DKMZCUSTOMS That was not really a question, in my opinions, accepting return of used goods is one symptom of a very perverted society.
Those well used ones were probably rental tools. At Home Depot you can rent all those tools.
I refuse to buy any more amazon returns or shelf pulls. It shocks me how so many people buy, use or steal parts, then return the item. I had 4 Andis hair clippers and thought I had a real steal. Three of the razor heads were broken in two a d the fourth was used. I ended up selling the used one, which covered the cost of three. I sold some of the components. So after all this outlay and work, I only got my money back. I’m hoping the rest of the items bring me a little profit. I certainly hope you make 4 grand. You seem really good at reselling and turning a buck, so I’m sure it will profit. I learn a lot from you and enjoy your videos. Keep us informed how the tool sale ends up, please.
I wonder what he really makes after factoring in time and all other business expenses.
@@cfldriven Enough to pay several people's salaries, the overhead of a 16,000 square foot warehouse, and continue to be able to support himself after doing this for 6 years here.
@@ResaleRabbit Thank you for sharing.
I stopped selling vintage audio gear for that reason, they use your item to fix theirs and then ebay protects them on the return...I even had other resellers stealing my parts and could prove it since I marked them with glow in the dark dye.
The Los Angeles Chargers should move to Milwaukee.
Wow what a haul. A bunch of out dated brushed tools with faulty issues that will be sold for retail price. Well where I live we call that a scammer trying to not get a real job
I like how you say everything that's used and then returned is "stealing" Milwaukee products for power tools have a 3-5 year warranty and hand tools are life time they were most likely replace with the warranty that's provided by purchasing the item.
Love all the new videos, but please please please more warehouse sale videos! They are addicting for some reason.
I think the running theme here.. is that they bought the new tools took the batteries then took it back...
