The hobby station was $63 plus tax shipped in one of the recent deals. It actually works with other brands of rotary tools like Dremel that have much better quality than Ryobi ones. So the bundle is not very hot.

It is brand new. DTO sells factory blemished in order to have direct sales because everything new is supposed to be sold by Home Depot.

Factory blemished MAY come with a very slight amount of damage or marks on the outside box, but it comes still in the original packaging and all.

Good explanation and thorough but completely wrong.

DTO is the factory outlet for techtronic tools. The owners of ryobi and milwakee etc. they have an exclusive deal on ryobi to sell new at home depot. Hence the factory blemished …which are new …om DTO

Full warranty.

So no- DTO is not unauthorized. In fact they couldnt be more authorized as they are the manufacturers. Been discussed many threads on SD

What does factory blemished usually mean? Scratches? Chips? Paint smear? Dents?

Usually means brand new in box but not sold at HomeDepot.

Was the deal a Hack or straightforward deal?

Quote from klo1978 :
Its brand new, Home Depot buys more than they need for their own sales from Ryobi, sells the extra to DTO as "blemished" and a smaller margin, while protecting their larger in-store margin and yet still making money on all of it, its called product diversion. Manufacturer's often hate it, but turn the other cheek to ensure their very large relationship with the mass retailer.

Source? I feel like DTO is run by TTI, and it has nothing to do with HD.
