I'm seeing some incredible deals on some tools that are Amazon 'Renewed.' Anyone have experience with that? I'm guessing it's returned items and such. They're selling stuff for half (or more!) off retail, which seems too good to be true for just cosmetic issues.

It's not much different from any other warehouse deal. They'll still let you return if if your not happy with it like anything else you buy. So there isn't much to lose if it's something you think you'll want.

Basically any reseller of openbox, but mostly refurb'd. Definitely a gamble since most are not Amazon backed.

If looking specifically for tools, CPO.com or Bigskytools.com is a much safer bet with their refurb programs.

If you work with VDE pliers, this is a decent deal:

GEDORE VDE S 8003 VDE Pliers Set with VDE Dipped Insulation 3 pcs
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZ327S/?tag=atomicindus08-20

1 left
Ships from and sold by Amazon
$50.77

I am sure that these are in fact made in Austria (and top notch quality), but please double-check.

Gone - I hope someone here on the forum grabbed them.

Thanks. Grabbed a set after noticing they are smooth jawed.
I'm pretty sure these have serated jaws. The ones I have do, and it looks like these do as well when you zoom in on the close up picture. They're nice though.

Looks like they do. Finer than I currently have, so there's that. Can't complain at more Knipex 😉

80% off... like $120 down from $580, not sure if you need to be a Prime member or not
killer deal if you need one. btw, i can see the 80% off coupon under the price, and i let my prime expire a few months ago. does it show up as a regular price with prime?

Looks a little fishy. No reviews yet and the description is full of broken English.

Buyers beware on this "one use tent" because A friend of mine purchased one last year and he set it up the night before his picnic and woke up to a total tent collapse....... Lightweight everything and may not hold up to a light breeze. :wtf:

OK I looked at the tent... I find it funny that I see this on the same page as the tent, always makes me wonder how does one go from one thing to the other ?

GEARWRENCH 4 Pc. 3/8" Drive Impact Extension Set 3", 6", 10" & 15" - 84926N

Lowest ever at $31.45 although Fakespot gives the "reviews" a C so buy at your own risk.

Fake reviews are a huge problem with scAmazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UM68HLQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Fakespot link: https://www.fakespot.com/product/ge...-8-drive-impact-extension-set-3-6-10-15-black


EDIT: The Gearwrench wrenches above get a Fakespot grade of B which isn't bad: https://www.fakespot.com/product/ge...bination-non-ratcheting-wrench-set-sae-metric

Nicholson 08768N File, 12", Mill 2nd Cut, 305mm - $12.96

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007IA3L1U/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

However, even their current normal price of $17.28 seems quite low, because this is a 6-pack. No guarantees, but I bought these and a box of six arrived today. Only thing wrong with them was the cardboard box was ruffed up. Hardware stores normally charge around $10+ for ONE.

There is a discussion on these in the other Amazon Warehouse thread. In short, there are a number of Nicholson files listed as 6/box or 12/box. But, they are shipping them individually. I went two rounds with Customer Support and still didn’t get it sorted. It’s really not worth the effort.

Hmm, curious that files ended up in the non-tool thread.

Sorry for your trouble but I did receive a box of 6. I wouldn't have been too upset if I received only one though, because at the time they had an even cheaper warehouse listing at $10 which was as low or lower price than I'd have paid anywhere else and I found the deal because I did need at least one.

Were yours individually packaged or just a bare file in no container besides the Amazon shipping box? This box of 6 I received, are not individually packaged. They are stacked one on top of another and wrapped in rust-preventative paper, all 6 in one Nicholson box.

There's no way they can break these up and have a retail package for them, at least not based on what I received? Okay I see now in that other topic, looks like you guys just got a bare file in a plastic bag.

However, either Amazon sold out of their stock or pulled their stock listing for it because it is now only available through 3rd party sellers, no Amazon Warehouse or even new fulfilled by Amazon now.

Also make sure its "sold and shipped by Amazon", they might send you the full pack, 3rd party will not.

I'm glad you received all six. I ordered eleven different boxes and every one was screwed up. All but one were wrapped in a wad of bubble wrap. That one was not wrapped at all.

I bought it and only received one file. Customer service told me to keep it and issued a refund.

Yup. It's all based on the pickers and wether they properly inventorized the items as a box or a single. It may be properly done as a box of 6, but the picker takes only one file.

It happens. Free files though, are always good.:beer:

I had them call me. Had I gone thru the return or replace interface it was not offering a refund without returning the item. Getting them on the phone you go to: https://www.amazon.com/Live-Chat/s?k=Live+Chat

Then click on Contact Amazon Customer Service
Get help with your order, account, and more:
contact amazon.jpg

Then click on need help over phone? We can call you:
need help.jpg

Then select the item and give the reasons for needing to talk with someone and then the phone button will populate:
talk to someone.jpg

Last you'll enter your phone number:
enter number.jpg

If theres an easier way I'd love to know. They no longer pick up on 1 (888) 280-4331.

Thanks I'll give this a try on the next file. Prime has gotten real crappy. My wife ordered stuff early may. We still haven't received the order and we can't cancel it. I hope they straighten out things soon

Yup. I've had it give me a trfund before without return on a random item via the easy online interface, but that was a shocker and hasn't happened since (no idea what the item was anymore either).

Even if you call or do the chat, it isn't always a guarentee that you will get to keep it. It's the nature of the amazon return. Not much we can do.



Onto the deals:

$22.61 Used - Libman Commercial 805 Multi-Surface Push Broom, 64" Length, 24" Width, Black/Red (Pack of 4)

0 in stock used


$26.51 - AmazonCommercial 24-inch Push Broom Kit, fine Floor - 6-Pack

1 used. Under the medium floor setting. Don't know about quality, but they're about half price for the packs.



Alright. I got bored and went through past orders looking to see what came back up as good deals. Some are nearby things to what I ordered. Have at it everyone and happy fathersday. :beer:
