This is a problem we need to address

[@edmondkelly1942]

Hey Ynot You have hit the nail on the head. Have said this myself for years. If people don't buy them at sales etc there won't be a demand or Market for them. Stop the demand and the thefts will stop. Who do the people who buy them think they are fooling. "Oh look at my new second hand drill. Don't mind the scratches where serial numbers should be or somebody's initials scraped in " Tools stolen here in Ireland are heading to Europe and UK and the stuff that's robbed in UK and elsewhere end up here . Bonkers. Keep up the good work.

I sold all my makita as a bundle when I decided to upgrade to Milwaukee. The amount of messages I got with interest on Facebook marketplace was insane, I got well over 60-70 messages when it was all said and done and that was just for a week. This shows the demand though, there are so many people who will do it. I ended up selling them all to a guy who was partially disabled but wanted a set of kit to do DIY at home, had a family and kids etc. There was a LOT of low ballers of a specific demographic

Ohh the usual suspects 🤨

Going from Makita to Milwaukee is a sidegrade not an upgrade.

so, who's stealing the tools? could we narrow it down to a certain ethnic group?

Good evening, the manufacturers usuly have warranty repare shops. Where the tool is repaired or replaced. With a new tool. It would possible be an opportunity to get in touch with the manufacturer, and find out. I have been in this position my self. It was deemed by the repare shop. That my tooling was not repareable. My tooling was replaced with new. The only cost to me was shipping my tooling. With a letter of explanation, to the repare shop. Of course i replaced my tooling, with new. And had free replacements for free. Just a thought, Joe Capo.

Good advice. I took it back to the place i bought it and they did send it away.
