As someone who may or may not work for this company I would highly encourage you to avoid anything "reconditioned" aka it's easier and cheaper to sell the returned item without checking it and replacing it if it's actually broken.

Everything factory reconditioned item I've gotten over 5lbs has arrived practically demolished since direct tools likes to choose an oversized box and use 3 pieces of brown paper as packaging.

Non sense. I've ordered atleast 10 items, all arrived perfectly packed.
Purchased and had to ship back/exchange (3) 21" 40v snowblowers last year because all were shipped loose in large flimsy brown boxes with no padding and all 3 had significant damage to the snowblowers and the boxes themselves were ripping at the seams. Makes no sense to ship large heavy items this way. Gave up and declined a 4th exchange and just got a refund.

Looks really picked over today as far as half off. 30% of blem's isn't a great deal given past sales. I've had mixed luck with refurbs from them, some in arrive in good shape, others not as much. I agree that they ship refurb items very carelessly, needlessly causing damage.

200CFM/90MPH Blower w/ 2Ah battery and charger. Specs looks weak on paper, is it ok for basic leaf blowing?
Not really. I have this for blowing out the garage, driveway, patio. Think of it as a broom. I use my gas blower for leaves.

Unfortunately, shipping cost kills any deal to be had.


There's a lot more work than just a click of button. Personally, I don't see it worth the time unless you start doing huge volumes.
Maybe not this deal specifically, but with $15 flat shipping, you can order a lot of items, I mean shipping a lawn mower for $15? 5 of these items, 5 of some others and at the end im sure one will net something for some minimal work, not like they are driving around wasting time looking for things to flip.

Is Ryobi ever going to make a ONE+ microwave?

Makita made a 40v one.

What's the difference and what's better when it comes to less damaged?
FACTORY BLEMISHED
FACTORY RECONDITIONED
Quote from jeff34270 :
Factory blemished are indistinguishable from new and come packed tight and safe in their retail packaging. Factory reconditioned are already used and are thrown into a big box with little padding and a large risk of arriving damaged. I only order blems from this outfit, unless it's something I can go to the store to get.
I don't think anyone added to this but the other main difference is that Factory Blemished includes the original manufacture's full warranty. Factory Reconditioned does not and has something far less. I usually avoid Reconditioned just for that reason.

Finally I found the inflator and figured out why the DTO prices are a little bit inflated themselves.

There was ship to store one earlier when I ordered. I don't see it anymore, which probably means this will be the 3rd time they cancel my order of this item.

Haha yeah. I bought a 50 cent pencil from them. It came in big box with nothing else in there. Ludicrous.

Another reminder, there's people that buy from here and just to flip them for their tool selling businesses such as Offerup, Facebook, ETC...
So it would be natural to be told to stay away from things as it helps getting tools cheaper. For example a tool normally $200+ being sold for for $90 buying 5 and flipping each for lets say $150 is ok profit for just a click of a button.
My local Flea Market at a few tables always sell bunch of Power Tools, they all look New or have Small Blemishes. I'm pretty positive they likely try to Flip from Deals like these or the Power Tool Combo Deals. Then try to sell it for more.

Well, they still have to sell it. With that comes a lot of work and also risks. You're also keeping inventory (however small that may be).

I have ordered a pressure washer, drill press, leaf blower, and one other thing that has slipped my mind. Every one, factory reconditioned only, have arrived as I described. The only one that was seriously damaged was the drill press, but all of them had varying levels of damage.

Each time Direct Tool offered a refund on return to be fair. The concern is that I am usually buying a tool because I need one.

Factory blemished have always arrived 100% to me. Indistinguishable from new most times.
Agreed completely. They do not advance ship, need to return broken item first an then they re-ship. IT's like 2-3 weeks. Lame if you need the items now.
