Unboxing a Pallet of Customer Returned DeWalt and Milwaukee Tools 

This video was over an hour long and finished with a recap and screenshots of some sold items. Evidently the file got corrupted and only half the video uploaded. Summary: I made about $1000 profit and sold most of it.

You literally ruined both of those planers on pallet nails. 😂😂😂

This fellow,although he may be a nice guy, is the exact person that you want to keep as far away from power tools as possible.

I loved when you ran the planner over the nails in the pallet. Gee, can't imagine it nicked the blade... LOL!

I literally cringed every time you ran those hand planers across the nails on that pallet. Ouch!

You, my friend, are a dangerous man with power tools!

These bargains... wow 20%-50% off.... lol. I will pay the 20% more and get new with a warranty!!!

anybody else get slightly concerned when rabbit is around powertools?

my best analogy to describe what im watching is basically like if a car salesman would be like; we have new cars that had minor defects or were just simply returned from customers, we cant sell them because broken seals and some frayed carpets; good i take the whole lot; first car is a 1998 buick with 150,000 miles on it, and the floor is rusted out, and a full cigarette ash tray in the middle of the console

The problem with hitting metal with planer blades is that it nicks the blade. This causes the blade to leave a high spot ridge on the work piece when you run the planer over wood.

When I was a trucker, I’d take some oak pallets and plane them down (avoiding nails, of course 😝). Now that I’m a crane operator I sometimes get 2X3” red oak boards eight feet long. I run them through my table saw and make cool stuff with free oak.

as somebody who forgot to put a pad over the velcro and quickly melted all the hooks I cringed at the purposeful destruction of velcro

Been a contractor for 25 years so I've spent a lot of hours maintaining and repairing many brands of corded and cordless tools. The new tools are slick out of the package but taking them completely apart when they fail they aren't built as tough and reliable as they were 15 to 20 years ago. Many times the new ones cost almost almost as much to repair as buying new. Planned obsolescence. Edit : And they are raping us on the cost of batteries.

I do like fidgeting around and fixing things. You're making me want to get a bunch of these and fix all of them to sell them.

You just devalued the planners! Lol

Porter Cable is not Harbor Freight brand. They are a fairly decent brand.

A lot of contractors buy tool,use them until a job is done and return within 90 days for a refund. The manufacturers should only allow exchanges if the tool is defective

i love how the video just ends abruptly lol

Well you have convinced me buying tool pallets is not a risk im willing to take like buying sushi from a gas station lol

Great idea to drive your channel and help businesses gain exposure, we could do with something similar in the UK. Keep up the good work!

Sort them. Resell what works and save the broken ones. Theres almost enough there to justify hiring a repair person. The OEM parts are easy to get. Clean the used ones with baking soda and water or even just tooth paste. You can probably find a repair person who would work off a commission. And your rates are really low but thats systematically addressed anyway.

I'm here because I found a guy selling these for $850 same stickers and wrap look exactly the same but all DeWalt and all Milwaukee

Half of the "broken" tools can easily be fixed and resold for much more. That impact wrench can easily haave the drive replaced.

The broken 1\2” drive fitting on the first dewalt impact is called an anvil.

With those nailers, just an fyi clearly you have never actually used one, not properly anyway im sure. The 3 nail select (fyi almost all of these r the same) is generally what you would use if ur a contractor or someone who is working quickly and knows what they are doing. It allows you to hold the trigger and pump out nails back to back. The single selection, you need to push it down n then hit the trigger. It's a safer mode most homeowners should use. Alot of contractors will remove the safety all together on guns, so thats something to think about as well. There maybe legal implications for you selling a nail gun with a broken safety and someone down the line decides to sue you.

Waving loaded nail guns around, even though it didn't work before, is just dangerous. The blades on the planers are done. Running sanders on wood without actual sanding pads on. Playing Rambo with the circular saw. Jeez Louise, you're lucky you still have what looks like most limbs still intact. 😅

Porter cable isn't a harborfreight brand. It is a good brand of finish nailers and sanders. Also makes other tools. Sold at Lowes.

On trim guns pull slide out don't need nails...on framer pull the nail push down and shoot to test....three nail is gold trigger and bump nail...gotta learn this if gonna sell em

Those nail guns have a low fastener lockout. Just pull the follower/nail pusher down to test fire the tool. The single nail/3 nail icon is a sequential fire/bump fire feature. Sequential fire is push the contact down and pull the trigger. Bump fire is hold the trigger and bump the contact.

Used to grab pallet lots like this, then do a fixing mathon and resell at flea markets and swap meets. Got really good at fixing the batteries for them.

Porter Cable is a solid brand -- nothing to do with HF.

with some of these Dewalt nailers the RUBBER BANDS can snap inside.. I am pretty sure the mechanism is pulled back and forth with these black rubber type bands .. Open it up and take a look. Best thing to do is take a few pics of the inside b4 taking it apart so u know where everything goes.. Dean Doherty is a guy who runs a channel and he fixes power tools on YT. Give him a look out and u will see lots of DEWALT tools being fixed on his channel bro.. Just thought I'd let u know if u need some useful help with fixing some of these tools..

Looking very professional in that classy burnt umber, 5 button, L.L. Bean pull over bub

42:48 good job, over the nails!!!

Rabbit, you should mark your batteries. Just put a piece of colored tape on it.

It is called the shank.The Shank is connected to the Chuck.I know nothing about power drills but thought might have been Auger so googled .Will have to Google Auger next to see how much I do not know .

The nailer has to have the proper gage nails for it to fire properly it will say on the side of each nailer witch size is proper. The gun will jamb if it's not the right size. I did find your video helpful though if you ever need a product tester and someone who can do small repairs to help you get more money out of some of your items I would love to provide any help if needed.

Hey look at these nice planners. Let’s see how they do on nail heads. 😂. Hope I didn’t mess up the blade too much

Someone could buy that broken pack out box and return it using their new receipt and the process can repeat.

Fun fact Here in australia Bunnings hardware don't even test the tools etc that are returned. Some sre tossed straight into the dumpster most sre returned to a central location. A lot of the returned poeer tools are brought back by people needing money and the tools are perfectly fime

These DeWalt FlexVolt batteries can be used on 60v and 20v tools. =Able to change the voltage as needed.

Porter Cable is actually a high-end brand name.

You are right about those Milwaukee M-12 chargers. They are garbage ! I bought a M-12 Heated Jacket that was almost 300.00 and being seasonal , the charger lasted 1 Season. I think I send it back to Milwaukee tools with a bag of DOG POOP !

I remembered about 30 years ago, we brought circuit city/walmart returns by 40 ft' container for around 7k.

The only way you are 3xing your money here is if you can manage to return it all to Lowes or Home depot and get store credit.

9:00 lmao someone got the new drill and returned thier old one in the new box

The classic ... Buy a new drill , But then return your old busted drill and get a full refund scheme.

The sander is missing the bag that catches the sanded particles - that's probably where the broken plastic pieces came from.

That 23 ga is good for kitchen crown on cabinets, it leaves very small holes pinning corners together

Great Breakdown.

The saw that was returned is not the one from the box. If it was a flexvolt it would not work with the 5ah battery

Note to self. Don't buy anything that has blades from Rabbit. 😂

Looks like a good pallet and not a bad price... Let's see if I change my mind by the end!

I would say the best way to sell this with good profit is at your local market as you thrift store or something, selling on eBay or Amazon you loose profit do their fees (eBay 13%) plus promotional fee if you have it and shipping as most items must be free shipping for buyer in order to sell it faster, being said this from the price you listed almost 30% -40% is what you “eat” minus your taxes if you have are registered as a business

I respect your hustle. I don't buy tools off Amazon or Ebay.

My dream tools.. wish had one.

You literally nailed this video bud😂

To each his own, because I always use corded tools as I have so much experience in electrical I can make the power outlet replacing a battery is the thing that cost me more.

On the next episode, join Rabbit on his triumphant return from the emergency room, missing only a few fingers but sporting several new nails!

There was a drill recall with DeWalt

That saw at the end when it was sold, it came with the battery and a charger that battery you should not sell separate. It should go with the saw because that’s how it was sold originally now granted it doesn’t have a charger, but it should at least go with the battery. The battery should go with the sawshould sell them separately. I just realized this video was a year old. My comment doesn’t matter.

Pretty wild how often stores don't look in boxes when people return items. Half of those drills were no way slightly used.😂😂😂😂

Most entertaining testing ever.

Pawn shops sell them cheaper than that 50/60$ for tool only that you could get for 40 or less at your local pawn’s shop

Show me you never used a power tool without telling me = This guy

The new looking ones are ones that people actually returned without using or used and were immediately unhappy with the performance so they returned it. The heavily used looking ones most likely aren’t people scamming stores by returning old tools but tools that were bought with a stores “add on warranty” so it’s not going back to DEWALT they end up in pallet auctions. Just a thing to mention and I’m not making assumptions but just charging a battery to see if it lights up is not testing a battery.

I need one of those Brad nailers right now. !!!

Testing a planer over nails. What a maroon lol.

Make sure to pay attention to the Milwaukee chargers any rapid chargers are worth twice as much as a normal

You should make a video of testing these tools to see on average how well they do as a return

You know you can go to your local Dewalt dealer and have the tools warranted and the batteries as long as it’s still under the three year for the battery in five year for the tour I believe same as Milwaukee but for Milwaukee you have to send it out and wait a few weeks for the Dewalt they swap out right there for you

If I’m not concerned about appearance being pretty. Is a flux core weld as strong as a gas weld…..I got a HD 135 Lincoln with gas (it’s basically made by Lincoln for exclusive sale by Home Depot" so any input is welcome being I only weld occasionally, weld bed frame type angle iron for lumber rack and fix an occasional garden tool and sheet metal art. I really only want wire welding for that and no selling or work for anyone but myself and couple family members. 1/8 or 3/16 is probably the absolute thickest I’ll ever weld and maybe an occasional burglar that I can keep alive in my soundproof room off my shop for 2-3 months with the right antibiotics.

"testing" planers by cutting nails with them is counterproductive.

I work at stanley , maybe i did hold them boxes , i work at inspection before they got send out .

Some have life time warranty you can change them for new ones

Porter cable is a good brand

ThT drill woth the light on prob has a bent battery connection or a loose wire inside they are super simple

The reason theyre used is bc someone bought it put their old used one in the box and returned it for their money back and kept the brand new one

I hope you have someone who knows what the tools are and their features testing them. A picture of you giving the thumbs up after running the planer over nails or looking directly into the pin nailer with the battery and nails while trying to figure out what's wrong sums up this video and would make great thumbnails 👍

Those tools sell for 25 to 30 on every 100 of new price he got burned if its electric its a tuff sell most this stuff hard sell drills and saw sell good thats why he has them

People forget this trade is not really about the individual item or pallet but the overall return, this takes time sometimes to turn what's at first not worth bothering with into a win, yes some of the items won't sell instantly but most things sell eventually, a pallet like this would make money... If you can afford to buy it and when the instant sellers have gone afford to keep the slow sellers until they sell, ideally your initial flush of sales pays for the pallet and then the continuing sales pay the bills, get enough of stuff like this and it's a good business , but sometimes it doesn't work and you either pass it on at a loss or wait, that needs the regular sales paying the bills in the meanwhile, John is skillfully "lucky" he's a gambler with a major in damage limitation, it's perfect , for every poor sale is the vintage cereal box that sells for $100 instead of going in the bin, excellent video

MILWAUKEE AND DEWALT HAVE A 5YR WARRANTY. YOURE WELCOME

I had my safety squints on....hahahaha

we need a 6 hour video

What’s the stuff is probably end warranty you can send it in and have it repaired

Not seen one of vid's in a long time..... Hitting the like button ;)

First rule of planers,,,,,,,,DONT HIT NAILS!!!!!

First tool you showed the name of the part that is damaged is the anvil

Hey, what's Ryan Gosling doing with all that Bstock merchandise? 😂

people are really returning thier old used tools they have been beating up for like a year and keeping the new ones and the batteries which cost about the same as the tool or more

Dewalt Tough System 2.0 $60 w/o wheels $90/w wheels Retail.

If the sanding pad will not hold a hook and loop disc anymore the pad is shot would cost $30 or so.

the ultimate scam, use your drill for a season, buy new drill, put old drill in box and return to home depot.

Can you return the whole pallet? They sold you a bunch of burned out junk. I don't see how you can make a profit on this lot after all the time you spend testing, listing, shipping etc

How much would you sell the 1/2 in impact with the bronk3n anvil the first off the pallet

Gotta have that rootbeer next time son!!!

Yes you trashed the blade on the planer

3:10 The big impact is supposed to run like that. It is low speed/high torque. That one sounds just as it should. And I had to look up the name for the drive. As many years as I have been using them, I don't think I have ever called that thing by any name, haha. But thanks to google, now we both know it is the "anvil."

It looks like some people bought replacement tools for there old tools and they kept the good batteries and new tools snd put there old shit in the box and brought it back to the store

Imagine that with the Dewalt drill light comes on but doesn't work. I have two like drills that are absolutely garbage as is Dewalt after the old CEO left
