I Bought Another Pallet of Home Depot Tool Returns for $3,400

For the tools, why not see if there are any local schools that could use them? Or even if there are kids who are in wood shop classes to get them started, they might want them. Great video!

That Ryobi mattress inflator is one of the most used tools in my shop. I use it to blow off dust and shavings off everything. It's way quicker than a bench brush and way more convenient than using an air compressor.

Every episode gives me another reason to be baffled by the fact that John still has all of his appendages.

I work at Lowe’s so we get some real doozies of returns. A lot of the cashiers are not taught to check product (I assume to avoid confrontation with aggressive customers). Once we got a 5 gallon bucket of paint, that was actually just water, tools kits returned with no batteries or chargers and a whole lot of buy one get one, where the buy one was returned. One time after a pretty bad rain we sold like 25 shop vacs and got like 10 returned I assumed after being used thoroughly.

Since being injured and being declared disabled 6 years ago I've been doing absolutely nothing. I've been watching these videos....I think I'll clean out space in the garage and hit up yard sales for tools to start woodworking. Hopefully by spring I'll be making stuff! Being a former chef I wanna make my own custom cutting board!

School wood shops or drama departments would love those tools! Also, community theater groups might want some too. My son is in high school theater and they are always looking for extra drills, drivers, saws, and bits. That would be a wonderful gesture by you! Nice video!

I just went down a rabbit hole and watched a guy make table lamps using epoxy and LEDs and I thought of something epic because I've binge watched so many of your videos over the last month. Imagine a cave table filled with blue epoxy to look like water and a light fitted underneath it so it looks like an underwater cave? 🤯 You could even add little details to like seaweed or algae it would literally be the most epic thing ever. You are the one who could pull this off John I believe in you sir. I really love the channel by the way you guys bring personality to the videos and make them fun which is so awesome as opposed to hearing someone talking over a time lapse which can be boring at times.

My husband worked 12 years at Walmart. His favorite "return" story: A 12 year old Weber grill brought back with hot dogs still rolling around inside it - and they gave the customer money back! 😳

The guy who invented the Black and Decker Workmate lived local to me and he was a very rich man. He negotiated a small royalty for each Workmate sold and they sold a lot. Also in the ‘80s DeWalt bought Swiss power tool company Elu. Their colour was charcoal grey with orange highlights like switches, these also became B&D professional, colour, all black and DeWalt. I still have a 20 year old 1/2 inch DeWalt router that is an Elu, still working great.

Love your videos. Watching them has made me get back into woodworking. Thank you

I teach woodworking at a high school for students with dyslexia and other learning differences. If you don’t need those black and decker benches, I could definitely use them! I have 6 students at a time in a 20x20 shop and often they benefit from flexibility and set up workstations in different spaces and those workmate benches are great for that. We’re in Maryland and would love to have you come by and see our wood shop and metal shop!

Hey John. I look forward to your show each week. From the builds to the boxes and all the shenanigans in between. If you haven’t found a home for some of that dewalt stuff I will gladly pay for it. I am only 2.5hrs from Pittsburgh area. Keep up the fun and entertainment.

loved the "yeah you're different" when holding his hand near a working chainsaw :D crazy guy

I could use the 10 Amp batteries. Pallet videos are fun to watch when it's not hole saws.

I don't understand why people hate on Ryobi so much. My stepdad still has the cordless Ryobi tools from when they came out in the 90's, they still work and they have taken a beating. He used to be a carpenter. I have several Ryobi tools. My drill has been dropped from 8ft+ several times. I drop f bombs like crazy when it happens but the drill still works like brand new. My wife and I have a house that was built in 1881 and it constantly needs work. Ryobi is my go to because of it's affordable price and Ryobi is extremely reliable.

The ryobi inflator for the air mattress is a great little tool. I use it to blow off work surfaces in my shop instead of firing up the air compressor.

Theses videos always Crack me up. I repair tools for a living and I constantly see brands and specific models that make me think "of course it's a return" $399 cordless nail gun...more like a $400 paper weight in a month

The editor needs a fat bonus for all the work he’s put into this video 😂

You know finding a good Home Depot pallet is hard when you have to join forces with your Doppelganger to track them down. Also.... That compact DeWALT chainsaw is nice. It's on my short list of near future tool purchases. I like the fact that it works with that company's 20volt battery system. And, especially the fact that it has an actual chain-brake. Unlike certain other compact chainsaws from certain other companies. (Seriously, how do you NOT include a basic safety feature that modern-day arborists and professional loggers rely on while doing their jobs.)

These pallet videos are a bunch of fun to watch. 👍
