Free shipping at DTO is probably the most reliable indicator of a recession, and I'm here for it.

Sure is one unhappy website though. Be patient, fellow Ryobi fanatics. Or maybe just abandon all hope.

Yeah it definitely took me far longer to login than the last time I was here. Once in searching and browsing was fine but stuff like adding to your cart takes a looooong time but for me it eventually got there. Got a refurbed 6-piece tool set for like $90 (I really only needed the sawzall but had good use for at least one other item in there) and a stick vac for like $55. Awesome sale.

My dad's in the Milwaukee ecosystem, but really likes the idea of a cordless inflator, rather than hauling out the air compressor. My little Ryobi is fine for city life for my car and bike tire, but wondering if the M18 inflator has any features that make it worth the huge price tag vs getting him a Ryobi inflator and battery from DTO. Granted, he's on a hobby farm so it would end up getting used on his truck, tractor, ATVs, mower, etc.

(I did this for Dewalt to Ryobi and its great, got the cheap inflator, glue gun etc that Dewalt either doesnt have a version of or want an arm and leg for).

Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/R...%2Fg%2F1tgw5rb5  (For size reference... that large distribution building? It's just over half a mile long) Probably been talked about in here in the past that the "blemished tool" indicator is a scam to get around their exclusive contract w/ selling new Ryobi tools at Home Depot. So afaik they're just shipping DTO tools out the back door. If they have a similar facility in Canada I don't see why they couldn't do it there. They probably don't sell/ship to Canada from the regular DTO website because they didn't want to deal with cross-border shenanigans. A lot of DTO decisions are generally just whatever is easy for them; they don't modify any orders for anyone, and might not respond for a couple days. Edit: Little DTO store to the east just outside

I had the same one in a different paint job and ended up getting rid of it because a benchtop drill press was awkward for me to use. I have the standing flavor of the same one from Lowe's (Porter-Cable) and it's great, though.

Bench top drill presses go for $50 on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace here in Ohio. I got mine for $10 and spent $5 on a new switch.

Grandpa was very handy and had a barn full of tools, while I just had aspirations of handiness. I'm trying to find good homes for his tools that I know I'll never use. I don't know anyone that needs something like this drill press, and I don't really know if it's worth anything to anyone. It works, and there's a decent sized set of chucks, drill bits, and reamers for it. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on whether the drill press would be of use to a particular trade or hobbyist. I'd like to find a way to narrow my outreach so I don't have to deal with local craigslist wackos.

If you're near me I'd be unable to resist poking through the heap. It's a compulsion. I see people reselling those kinds of drill presses pretty frequently, though no idea if people buy them. If you have space for it though, mind that a drill press is an extremely useful tool. I've seen some hand tool zealots say that it's the only piece of machinery that they own and that they can't do without it.

Ended up buying a bunch of Ryobi this sale: 40v Pole Hedge Trimmer w/ 2AH battery https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/RY40630VNM Dual Inflator https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/P747 2x 7.5" Fans w/ 2AH battery https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/PCL811KN 3/8" Crown Stapler https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/product/P317 Needed something for a couple hedges we have and that should let me get a good angle on the top. Dual Inflator is the thing people kept talking about and I want something to top off the tires without crouching down. The Fans... I have one already and they saved the chickens during a heatwave. I want spares just in case (for the California central valley heatwaves and possible rolling blackouts)... The stapler... I have to put up a new fence for the chicken coop and I read this works fine generally for stapling hardware cloth or similar light fencing. I didn't want to spend the $90 on the larger 18GA stapler since I'm buying enough as-is, though I'm sorely tempted. Ordered a fan for dad and then ordered him a Glue Gun Kit since he saw my glue gun I got for $9 from the last sale and was like "Hey, can I have this? I'll buy it off you" and I was like "Hell no. That's mine". So the kit that has the battery at $24 since he isn't in the Ryobi ecosystem yet isn't bad.

I bought the drill press because at $110 vs $200 at Home Depot, why not. Facebook marketplace hasn’t had a worthwhile offering in a while there. Debating getting a hedge trimmer and a Milwaukee battery converter since I’m heavily in that ecosystem, but at that point, I’m not sure if it’s worth to pay >$50 more for the Milwaukee tool. The wall cabinets are sweet looking too…

Torpedo level question. Is a Stabila torpedo level ($73.00 CAD) really worth the extra money over a comparable Milwaukee torpedo level for professional use? I need a bubble level that's easy to see and use in dark, cramped spaces. Will also get kicked and dropped around a lot on the worksite. I've also heard that Milwaukee's levels are just Empire levels with a coat of red paint and I have never been impressed with Empire tools.

I've also heard that Milwaukee's levels are just Empire levels with a coat of red paint and I have never been impressed with Empire tools. Torpedo level isn’t really a precision instrument the way a longer level would be, paying extra for a stabila/sola isn’t worth it IMHO. Plus they tend to get lost/misplaced/stolen due to their small size, I’d just get the Milwaukee or whatever.

I recently bought a storage unit at auction and it had a bunch of dirty and slightly rusty but otherwise working construction equipment in it. A few chainsaws (two with blades but they're missing parts of the casing so I don't think I can really get anything for them) and the rest do not have blades, a weird like saw drill thing, an industrial paint roller, and a huge miter saw. I don't really do any DIY stuff and they're all a bit rusty, I can probably clean them if they'll sell for more but assuming I don't want to do a lot of work and just get rid of these, do you guys know of any places that will buy dirty tools? Maybe like a pre-restoration place or something? I know there's a few pawn shops in town but they don't have great offers even when the items are in GOOD condition. Otherwise, any thoughts on how I can clean these and make them good enough that people will actually buy them? I care more about relatively quick cash than getting the most bang for my buck but I'm not opposed to a few days of hard labor to make them presentable. Here's some lovely pictures of them so you can see roughly what I'm working with.  Here's most of them, I think the red side casing in the right bucket is for the thing on the left, I have no idea what the model number is for any of these or how I would even find out but I'm hoping they're at least decent.  Also have this thing. It's in surprisingly good condition, it's fairly dirty but it seems like I can just scrub it off. Blade is probably too far gone and rusty but the mobility is fine. Any ideas on how to salvage or sell these?

Craigslist or FB Marketplace? Also, look up the chainsaws by make and model if you can. Look for any stampings or metal tags riveted on. I bet the missing parts are still available. They didn't turn up in other boxes or bins? Edit: that last tool appears to be a sliding compound miter saw. They're sold by the blade diameter they take. They cost more than regular miter saws. kid sinister fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Feb 1, 2023 |
