There is a $14.99 flat rate shipping added to your final costs. This sale is good if you're looking to purchase many items to spread the shipping costs. Generally you'd have to be okay with taking on the risks of buying reconditioned (refurbished) products. This sale is not for everyone.

This sale will last until end of the day on May 29th, 11:59 eastern time zone.

Generally %50 off is one of their largest general discount for factory reconditioned products (refurbished/used).

30% off everything else is average for their factory blemished (new) products.

The popular Ryobi ONE+ dual function inflator/deflator is available as a refurbished product for a decent price.

Extremely budget friendly cordless string trimmer/edger (refurbished) with 1.5Ah battery and charger for really cheap.

If you want essentially brand new, you buy the factory blemished products. They typically include the standard 3-year warranty for most products.

If you don't mind refurbished products at a slightly larger discount, you buy the factory reconditioned products. They are provided with a 1-year warranty through Direct Tools Outlet themselves. YMMV as some people claim that products are typically loosely packed with little protection and some people claim they've received used and/or damaged goods. Personally my experience, I've bought over 10+ products within 2 orders and they all arrived fine for me though. Products do have a "recon" indentation burned into them, which would not affect usage.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

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.

Of course, everything but the only thing I need! This has been my luck all year. No discount on the mowers (except one that appears to be a small child's toy).

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.

Last 2 items i ordered from this website came with the wrong style of battery. in one it i had a non HP battery in place of a HP battery. in another i had a smaller battery than was requested.

both got ironed out by calling ryobi directly, but make sure you double check what you receive.

looking forward to the thumbs-down. its almost humorous how predictable it is. DTO either has a huge whit knight following or a hell of a lot of shills!

Haters can downvote all day, but this has been my experience as well with many orders including big items.

One time they included wrong size bag with lawnmower, but I called and they shipped the correct one at no cost

Not Non sense.. I had problem with 2 of the 3 shipments from their 40% off sale back in February. Consider yourself fortunate.

All the 50% off string trimmers seem to be unavailable for shipping. Bummer, otherwise some good (cheap) stuff here.

What's the difference and what's better when it comes to less damaged?
FACTORY BLEMISHED
FACTORY RECONDITIONED
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.
