The % gained or lost is based on the original value, not the amount increased or decreased. In other words, ...
A $2 gain or loss is different for $8 vs. $10 (the original value)
2 / 8 = 25%
2 / 10 = 20%
The reverse math (moving the gain or loss value to the result side):
25% of $8 = $2
25% of $10 = $2.50
20% of $8 = $1.60
20% of $10 = $2

Exactly what I was looking for too. Almost bought earlier this week, glad I waited.
I know a very skilled and successful contractor that swears by them. 90% of the "quality" of marquis brands at a fraction of the price. If they get lost, dropped or stolen, they are cheaper to replace. I've personally had Ryobi tools outlast DeWalt, and I'm just a weekend DIY guy.
To each their own.

Thank you so much for the explanation!
DEWALT = real tools
If you want to play with toys buy this, if you have real jobs to do then look elsewhere
They're basically identical to the DeWalt counterparts except the batteries won't interchange. There's guys doing teardowns on Youtube confirming this. DeWalt is just reaming their customers with those Premium prices they're charging for Consumer grade tools.
And here's an example in Hand tools. They're both made by Stanley/Black & Decker.
1/2" Craftsman torque wrench is $50. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...0DER&
The identical 1/2" torque wrench except the plastic handle is Dewalt yellow cost $138. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...YJ72&
Most likely this is true, but keep in mind you could get one with an actual blemish. Or at least you wouldn't be justified in a return for minor damage.
I bought the wall tool storage unit and it did have a bend in the metal at the corner. It was in an ok spot so it wasn't noticeable where I placed it, but if someone was expecting a new item= fake blemished, they would be disappointed. Almost all of the other blemished items I've gotten were indistinguishable from new.

This is the same juvenile mentality that drives kids to believe they can't be cool at school if they don't have a certain brand of clothing or shoes so that's where all of their money goes - trying to be cool for someone else and of course none of it having any effect on their grades. It's the same type of guys who grow up needing to have tool-truck branded everything while making payments on it for the rest of their lives, as if it's the tool brand that makes them a professional. If the tool brand is defining the quality of your work I have some bad news about your skills. Recognize it when you see it.

Per some corporate folks I know at TTI-DTO, the legal reason it's sold as "factory blemished" is TTI's contract with HD which says HD will be the sole and exclusive retailer allowed to sell "new" tools.

The 25% is from Direct tools prices,which are cheaper than the mspr to begin with. That is their advantage selling them directly to the consumer .
They offer the choice of refurbished, by the manufacturer or what they call Blemished, which is just their way of selling you a New item at a discounted price without stepping on Home Depot's toes blatantly.
They do charge a flat rate $10 shipping, but if you browse their inventory you can still usually come out of there with a nice savings.
And the Misting fans for example seem to be hard to find at HD and around $60 if I remember when they are in stock.
But to say that DT is just selling at the same price is not correct.
Trust me I am a cheapo,🤣 I know when I'm saving coin
