Reconditioned Tools - Are They Better Than Buying New?

Buying Factory Reconditioned Tools from www.thediscounttoolstore.com brings up the question that has been thrown around over and over. Are reconditioned tools or rufurbished tools better than buying a brand new tools? For the answer to that question you will need to know what a reconditioned tool is.

A reconditioned power tool is basically a tool that was returned to the manufacturer for one reason or another:

1. Cosmetic Defect - scratched or damaged case

2. Customer returns the tool to the store because the tool stopped working

3. Customer returns the tool to the factory for warranty repair

I am sure there are a few more reasons why an item is is returned to be factory reconditioned but these will cover most of your tools.

Now that we know what a factory reconditioned tool is, we will talk about the benefits that we get from buying one.

Here's the great thing! Returned tools are sent back to the factory to be completely fixed with brand new parts and then resold back to us at a discount price.

How much money can you save...

I did some shopping for a Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 11255VSR-RT Rotary Hammer

Refurbished Tool Site Price: $163.19
Comes with 1" Rotary Hammer-11255VSR-RT, Auxiliary Handle, Depth Gauge, Carrying Case and a one-year warranty!!!

List Price: $370.40

That's a 56% savings!!!

So to answer the question everyone wants to know: Are reconditioned tools better than buying a brand new tool?

Would you answer anything but YES?

Many people have to ask about simply having an old tool fixed rather than replacing it. This usually ends up costing more in the end and this is why:

1. Getting power tools repaired is not cheap and takes several weeks or even months, if the parts are even available.

2. There are alot of moving parts inside each tool. Soon you will be going back for more repairs for every part that wears out or breaks. This becomes even more costly and is holding up the job as well as your pay check.

3. You usually have to go to a factory authorized repair shop for your brand of tool. Tool repair shops are not easy to come by and don't usually guarantee their work since the part is designed to wear out.

Hopfully this has answered some if not all of your questions on buying Factory Reconditioned Tools instead of brand new tools, as well as given you some insight on why I choose to only buy factory reconditioned tools from www.thediscounttoolstore.com
