I used to run the return program for a Lowe's and was the guy who packed and shipped these containers. Occasionally some decent items end up in them but we're supposed to recycle the lithium batteries, the employees bought the really good stuff, and you can return total trash to the store. More often then not id pack these full of garbage. Didn't know people paid that much for them lol you couldn't give me half the pallets I shipped

They can provide good returns, if you're willing to put in the effort to check through the manifests and be selective on what you bid on. It's not free money, you have to know what you're doing and put in a lot of effort, especially if you're reselling things. I made a few hundred dollars of profit reselling a box of Target electronics returns, but it also took quite a few hours of work to go through and sell it all!

I worked at Wal-Mart 2 decades ago. I went into work in the paint dept. one morning and there was a flat bed with about 15 gallon cans of old paint, some of it from the 70s. KMart store brand paint. Random colors, most dried up. Took it back to the claims/return office and was told. "We can't process it. The bar codes aren't in the computer. It needs to be priced at the return value and put on the shelf." The customer service desk had given them a refund of $15 per can, because that's what WalMart brand paint sold for new. We ended up stashing it under the paint counter and throwing out a can or two a week when no one was in the receiving area. That was the "No Hassle Return Policy" at it's finest. They also once accepted the return of a completely trashed mini motorbike and gave the people $385 in cash because the person had a receipt- it just wasn't a Walmart receipt. That's why I'd never buy a return pallet from anywhere.

I used to work for Slowe's many years ago. I can guarantee how the Ryobi saw got in there: Someone went to the customer service desk either with a receipt for the other-brand saw they just bought and insisted it was the same one, or they made some noise until a manager gave them some store credit just to make them leave. I saw so many old -- as in years of rust and wear -- in the returns baskets, which customers had attached the sales tag to return a "new" hammer as faulty, as not living up to expectations, getting a full refund and replacing their old hammers for free.

Future advice, you can test any battery power tool using a car battery or any other battery with some creative wiring. I have family that does thrift store shopping and has gifted us stuff we have no batteries for. My brother was the one that hooked them to car batteries and found use out of them. He even made a harness to hold the battery for him.

If you have a shop (or a job site) with good outlets then you should be using corded tools for stuff like cutting and sanding. Battery tools are for someone who needs to use that tool for a bunch of small tasks in varying locations. When I see a woodworker bust out a battery powered orbital sander…I just cry at how much they must have spent on batteries to be able to sand for more than 20 minutes.

I’ve bought only one thing from a Lowe’s box. It was actually a great deal. The trailer that was ordered and paid for, was not in the nearest (75miles from Madison Wisconsin) locations inventory when I arrived to receive the trailer. Instead of an 8 foot trailer, I left with a 12. That was good , aside from the fact that I really wanted the smaller one for a specific purpose. But because of my business needs, a bigger trailer was more useful. However I didn’t really have room to park it. The wife insisted I figure out another option. (Great story, except it was a shitty one, but at least I was able to legitimately complain about it for ages.) But seeing this video reaffirms that I am glad there’s not a Lowe’s in my area anymore. Home Depot serves my needs well. The Menards has some redeeming qualities, though I literally go out of my way to make them my second choice when possible. Seeing this bullshit pallet score is hardly a score. Item number one. Used as a urinal siphon? Is that possible? To reverse it? Not likely, so what was the sprayer fill with and is now fermented and moldy? My guess’s will not pass the censorship on YT, so I’ll refrain. Next up: a craftsman shop vac that was purchased and returned because the buyer wanted to replace a single wheel on the old one. Been there did that myself, or I mean, I knew someone else who did that. But it’s something that can still be useful. Craftsman ratchets are immediately replaced (I replaced two in as many days, 15yrs ago) a decent very old (probably an 80s or 90s) 3/8” ratchet that snapped internally while doing suspension work one day, so I returned it and was given a lesser quality tool, that broke the same way, it was replaced with the exact same model. My ancient USA craftsman tools are still in my possession. I no longer buy that brand, unless hard pressed, and only screwdrivers or similar. Lost track of the order of progress. Skillsaw and Hoover. Both have become generic terms for related items. The crescent wrench is my personal favorite when needing an adjustable wrench, thankfully mine happen to be actual Crescent products I inherited from dad or grandfather perhaps in the days when I still had little to no tools myself. Glad I never ever pawned such things. Pawn shops were my go to place to find someone else’s addiction losses, or sadly, an addicts thievery fix. In the grand scheme, you bought the box (pallet) that was actually the temporary dumpster. Dude you were fucked.

People that buy pallets this don't often realize that lithium batteries are subject to strict shipping rules. Products can be shipped in ready to sell product packaging if they are labeled correctly but they cannot be shipped back to the warehouse/store if they are used or defective products, even if they are in the original packaging. Unfortunately that means that batteries are separated and thrown in a specialty labeled hazard container to be professionally "disposed". With the exception of being shipped for disposal back to seller. And even then the package must be returned to a separate disposal address that the company uses.

Watching this to the end, I’m re minded of when I returned an 6” hole saw. Needed for cutting drywall for recessed lighting fixtures. That particular lob was actually a plaster ceiling, which nearly immediately (some sparks!) dulled to the point that it’s teeth were rounded off after only two holes, plenty of burning! I returned it to HD, showed the associate (love that stupid word to make worker feel like they are actually part of the team) that this was returned as a failed and costly tool. (Maybe it was my bad. But it wasn’t low quality, it was either Klein or Fluke) I was truly surprised when the following week I saw the exact same tool repacked and had the full process decal on it. It remained there for months.

Thank you for possibly saving someone out there who still believes you can still get a good deal on one of these pallets.

I suspect the reason no tools came with batteries and missing accessories is because when people lose or break it, they buy a new tool, take out what they need and return the new tool as defective. Thats why that shopvac was missing a wheel and hose. I know people who have had a product that broke, so they go buy a new one, then keep the new one, put the broken one in the new box, and take it back as a broken product

Was the top of the pallet sealed? Everyone who was on the shipping route could have helped themselves to its content. Just saying 😮

Thing that really pisses me off here is that I have a little bag of unneeded dryer hose adapters that I tried to return and they wouldn't take them. I'm talking, stuff that wasn't used at all, still had tags on them, I had the receipt.. and they wouldn't take them because I had bought them too long ago 😡

The kobalt drill looked relatively new so that might work however the thing with kobalts hassle free warranty is that you return it to the store if it doesn’t work and get a new one

As a former Lowes worker I can tell you we really really want to confront people who try to do shady returns but corporate hamstrings us and the managers at the stores don't back up the staff either. I have a quick story, a guy was returning paint and I had this inkling that something was wrong so I opened a can and the dude just filled the cans back up with water. I told him i wouldn't return the paint and he made me call the MOD(manager on duty). The MOD gets up there looks at he paint and says "eh, give him store credit". I had to process this fucks return while he stood there with a cocky ass grin on his face. So, I would advise against buying anymore of these pallets because I am certain these are all "RTM" (Return to Manufacturer) items(hence the "faulty merchandise' slips"). Any "good" items that get returned go right back on the shelf.RTM items is crap that is too broken/missing parts and we can't put it back and the manufacturers just give Lowes credit back for the product.

The trick to the pumps is go get the exact models that you had that didn’t work, take the new pumps out, put the used ones back in the boxes & return 👌

Those Kobalt blowers are fairly good. I have one but after a year the control trigger started failing. Buying a battery is not a very good value as the have batteries listed for about the combo price. Sorry as you sure go hosed on the pallet.
