nearly all factory blemished (ie new), nearly all ryobi.
the chainsaws, pole saw and $17 inflator would be the standouts for me.
of course, works much better if you're near one of their stores, expensive slooow shipping blah blah.
I was looking at the pole saw too. Anyone have it that can weigh in?
Regarding shipping, I bought the Rigid Miter Saw Stand when it was on sale at the beginning of the month, and it took 11 days from when I ordered to delivery. Certainly not prime speed but also not the end of the world all things considered

I got the 18v pole saw from a previous deal and was impressed. I've had it for about three years and has definitely made trimming trees easier. I can only imagine 40v would be that much better.

I got the pole saw last year, but it is still in the box.
Regarding shipping, my last order placed on 6/19 is still on the way but should be delivered today.

I bought the 40v pole saw a couple of sales back and used it for one big job so far - which was about 3-4 hours of use on all low branches of 4 large trees.
My impressions after that are that this saw is much better than the corded Wen I used previously. Granted, that one differs a bit in that it's an 8" vs. 10", and telescoping extendable vs. collapsible/extendable.
40v Ryobi PROs:
I used a 6ah battery (from my Ryobi 40v mower) and never had to change the battery during use.
Very long reach with all pole attachments installed.
10" bar is much preferred to 8" bar - you can really feel that extra 2".
Balance of weight of battery vs. saw head was pretty good.
No oil leaks ... so far. Even during transit with oil still in the tank.
Detaching all pole parts breaks the saw down into roughly 24" long pieces (that's a guess, I don't have the saw with me now to measure). But that was great for transportation in an SUV trunk.
40v Ryobi CONs:
I wish the handle/throttle button area was a little higher on the pole for better reach - I felt like my lower hand had to stay much lower than I wanted it to especially when extending high on a ladder.
I didn't really use the attached loop handle much. Could just have been I had it installed too low, but you can detach it and/or move it up to the next extension pole if you want to.
Fully extended, I felt there was quite a bit of flex to the overall saw due to having so many extension attachment points (comparing it to the stiffer, telescoping version I used to use).
Looks like they increased their shipping again - it's now $14.99. Can't really blame them though because carriers have been increasing rates as well.
The 40V HP chainsaw deal is almost the same as the one posted a few weeks ago, only $5 higher. I bought it then and used it once so far on a branch (~4" diameter) and it cut really well. Don't know how it compares to gas but it was fast and smooth for that job.
Now looking at the pole saw. It's $169 at HD, so even with shipping, it's still >50% off.
