@Jason_B.
You look so much healthier again, hope you're doing better man!!!
@jayjayscoinbox9522
I was screaming "It's upside down!" smh I do the same thing from time to time. Great content by the way! I always learn something from your videos
@joshualaird5303
It's funny when you don't know someone but your'e glad they're looking and feeling better. Keep it up Bro :)
@bryanhenderson9637
A lot of instances, if the package includes 2 batteries and one of them is dead, the store does not have a way to give you just a new battery, so they take the entire package back and give you an entire new one, even if everything else in the box works as it should. A bit of a waste, but it is what it is.
@jeremypalmer5695
You should test the drills under load, sometimes they spin fine, but the gears slip the second they are under load.
@XeloX
Hey Steve, to fix that Rigid battery you could try charging the lower cell manually to match the other 3, that may very well fix the problem!
@jkpaschal
As a contractor, you have a huge market with tool repair IF you price it right. I repair my own stuff and have made some cash repairing switches and reflowing battery packs. Lot's of armatures, windings, hall effect sensors, and different types of switches. Might be worth having an apprentice or motivated cousin who can be taught to repair them to help you start taking a step back? Love your vids and you're work, you've helped a bunch of people, myself included. Glad to see you look like you feel better.
@Jinzo50
Hey Steve, glad to see you're looking all better. The issue with the Ryobi brad nailer is that that the brad nails go to the front end of the magazine, not the back. The hammer hitting the brad nail at the position is in the video may cause the nail to shoot in to the magazine, that's why the tool protects itself.

I used to buy pallets like this from Walmart and Home Depot...I used to do really well with them, but I got burned really bad on the last 6 that I bought so I quit messing with them...The ones that I used to buy were purely store returns, but people scam them so much on returns now, that it's just not worth it!
@kaddiddlehopper
I work at Home Depot and see a lot of this stuff. It's interesting. I see Depot return to vendor (rtv) stickers on several. I can confirm If a customer comes in and complains of missing parts, we will pull a box from the shelf, pull the part they were missing, and then send the rest back. That's why you are seeing some brand new stuff missing a part. I always wondered where that stuff ended up.
@Gamen4Bros
Love it! Will watch part 2 later
@waynewoodley
I was sooooo happy when you said a Craftsman tool hoping it was a 16 gauge finish nailer so I could watch you fix it and see if I could buy it off you to add to my Craftsman V20 collection. Watching you open the box and seeing two broken dewalt, I was stunned someone would even do that. Hope you get most of your money back on that pallet.
@djkarcher1896
That's why I like to buy from manufacturers that have spare part diagrams with part numbers. Regarding the two DeWalt sanders: They may be fixable, DeWalt does sell spare parts. Not too sure about the batteries, once they're cooked, they very likely will remain cooked. Makita batteries have a chip that locks them up if they fall below a certain voltage. Very pleasant video to watch, looking forward to part 2!
@Icethisone
Steve is out of control 😂 Love it.
@12345.......
My ryobi's have been beat, dropped, abused and neglected for over 10 years. For inexpensive drivers, they work.
@3rr0rX
Hi Steve, glad to see you looking healthy again. Regarding the angle grinder-key steel is readily available, just measure, buy and cut to size. No different to any other shaft/sprocket setup. Wishing you all the best and keep it going, love your videos.
@MrDNA1965
Steve, on the Ryobi brad nailer, generaly you need to posistion the nailer where you want it with the safety engaged befor you pull the trigger.
@absentmindedstudios
900 was wild in the first place. I've seen pallets like that go for 300 live.
@diamondzombie3781
Love these new "exotic" repairs, not just consoles!
