Refurbished / Factory-Reconditioned Tools

Buying refurbished or factory-reconditioned tools is an excellent way to save serious money while enjoying the benefits of the latest tools. Factory-reconditioned tools are generally returned to the manufacturer and repaired to “like new” condition. Typically they end up having only very minor cosmetic defects and some actually look brand new! I recently ordered a factory-reconditioned tool that I swore was still new.

Refurbished Compressor Kits

Buying a refurbished or factory-reconditioned compressor kit is an inexpensive way to get a great compressor along with some great nail guns bundled in a package. Most of the major tool manufacturers offer these refurbished compressor kits at deep discounts. The following are several factory-reconditioned compressor kits that I think are great values.

Bostitch

  • Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/CPACK3 3-Tool Compressor Combo Kit – $219.99 – Kit includes: 2-1/2 In. 16 gauge finish nailer, 1 In. 18 gauge finish stapler, 1-1/4 In. 18 gauge brad nailer, CAP60P-OF 2.0 HP (Peak) oil-free compressor, and a contractor’s canvas tool bag. I personally own this compressor kit and I highly recommend it. If you were to buy the compressor and three nail guns separately you’d spend almost twice this amount!
