Still, this is a crucial indicator of how much trust the company puts in their reconditioning process. If the warranties are identical to new then, well, you're looking good if the price is right ;)
3) Why Was this Tool Reconditioned?
This question is likely not going to be easy to answer - though if you're in a brick and mortar you might as well ask someone to see if they know.

I worked in the insurance industry for the last eight years and I was always amazed by how many people knew so little about insurance. Between cars, home, life, health, dental, short-term disability, and more there is so much to know. We spend thousands of dollars each year on insurance so shouldn’t we know all about it? I am licensed to sell insurance in Massachusetts, which is easily one of the worst states for auto insurance. Far too many people trust the insurance companies to tell them they are properly insured.When you go buy a new car do you trust the car dealer to tell you how to spend your money? Do you trust a real estate
However if you're not careful there's a chance that your great deal today may turn into tomorrow's yard sale giveaway. Or worse - a prolonged and difficult exchange with a retailer that's way more trouble than it's worth.
We recently asked for opinions on reconditioned power tools from the woodworkers at WoodNet, FamilyWoodworking and LumberJocks. They kindly gave us the lowdown on their opinion of reconditioned power tools and without their help this article could not be.
Here are the threads - in forums we don't own - that we covered to write this article:
WoodNet.Net
FamilyWoodworking.org
LumberJocks.com
Their responses ranged from "just wait for a sale and buy new" to "primarily (and proudly) buy reconditioned!" The majority of woodworkers appeared to have bought reconditioned at one time or another.
From their responses we put together five questions you should be asking before you buy reconditioned power tools.
1) Is there a Warranty?
Are you slapping your head and saying "DUH"?
You might be surprised at how many reconditioned power tools sell without warranty. Especially at fly-by-night traveling tool sales and end-of-bin sales of off brand or broken tools. If there's no warranty then there's no deal. Except perhaps if you need spare parts and the price is a steal.
2) How Does the Warranty for Reconditioned Compare to the Warranty for New?
More often than not you'll find that the warranty for new power tools is exactly the same as the warranty for reconditioned power tools.
The one case I heard where they were different was on a major stationary tool that offered a six month warranty for reconditioned and a year warranty for new tools.
Still, this is a crucial indicator of how much trust the company puts in their reconditioning process. If the warranties are identical to new then, well, you're looking good if the price is right ;)

Affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful ways of making money online. An affiliate marketer is simply someone who drives traffic to a merchant's site and gets paid a predetermined percentage if a sale is made. Commissions can range from as low as 5% to as high as 75% or more. A single tier commission structure pays you only once for the sales you broker, while a multi-tier set-up also pays you a commission on the sales made by those you've led to the merchant who later become affiliates. There is also the possibility of getting a recurring commission on a sale that requires periodic payments. Some affiliate agreements even allow for comm

The reported cases of autism seem to be sweeping the country like never before, and autism is frequently seen on the news and in special TV reports. Is there an epidemic going on or is it just that autism is now gaining more visibility? Recent studies indicate that as many as 1 in 162 children have autism to some degree.The tough part about autism is that it is difficult to diagnose. It’s not like a broken arm where you can take an x-ray and determine yes the arm really is broken. Rather, much of the diagnosis of autism is somewhat subjective, although there are definite signs to indicate that a child has autism or autistic spectrum

Recently I read of a new website where teachers can post and sell their lesson plans to recover the time that they had spent in developing these plans. On the surface, this sounds reasonable and why would anyone object to teachers making a little more money through such a capitalist venture and leveraging their intellectual capitol?However this question is much more about understanding the importance of retaining intellectual capital (knowledge management) within the educational system and how this demonstrates questionable ethics on part of the teachers.Consider the following scenario:I am an instructional designer

In the best cases reconditioned power tools are purchased, possibly opened, used once or never and then returned.
In the worst cases they're used as anchors, or at least they're used hard and lived in the back of a pick up truck.
In between there's some sort of a design flaw in the tool and it will never work quite the way it should. You're wise to cross check any reconditioned tool you're getting serious about through our woodworking forum search engine to see what comes up.
Whatever the reason for the return, if you've answered question 1 in the affirmative you should be ok. Just understand that there's a wide range of possible reasons that a tool is reconditioned and you're opening yourself up to accepting any of them when buy recon.
4) How Much Below Lowest New Price is this Reconditioned Tool?
It's of the utmost importance to ask yourself about your cutoff point for price. How far below brand new price is low enough to warrant the potential for the hassle of returns and the tool breaking soon after the warranty expires.
Some forum respondents won't buy reconditioned power tools unless they're 25% cheaper than the cheapest available new price. Some hold out for 40%.
At a certain price point (around 10-20%) you are better off just getting a brand new tool, according to a WoodNetter.
Your mileage will certainly vary, but it's crucial that you know going in what's your acceptable price discount. Otherwise you might end up feeling burned... I think it's for this reason that some woodworkers said they only bought reconditioned for tools that they didn't plan to use that often.
5) What was this Tool's Reconditioning Process Like?
In cases of reputable reconditioning, it's anecdotally noted that reconditioned tools are often more thoroughly and rigorously checked than brand new tools.
