As a assistant manager at home depot I can say 10000000% I am not surprised with the items returned completely salvaged and/or complete trash inside a different box. My favorite is a dewalt tool with a few rocks and newspaper stuffed inside.
Dude! I cannot understand how people can be so cochina! Second, it seems like you cannot tell a customer ‘no, you can't return this item in this condition “ why? . Lastly, even with all this, HD makes lots of money every quarter
@dynamiscr it's more of taking care of the customer compared to not being able to tell them no. Many of our vendors will give us credit on some items but not all. I've had store managers who are strict and some who will do anything for the customer.
@ jeez! I don't know, I understand, but on the other hand, it is tough having to deal with customers like that all the time. If you don't mind, do you know what deals are coming on 11/29? I went to a store yesterday and it was all cover with black plastic bags 🫤
@dynamiscr 😂😂 most of the powertool deals are already out. As far the "door busters" the gorilla ladder and the rigid shop vac are amazing deals. Other stuff includes christmas and small appliances
Eh, huge difference when you try to scale it up and legitimize something like this. There's a reason stuff like hardware repair shops have all shut down. Biggest issue is experience, there's no easy way to learn all the little things and especially electronics without experience which doesn't come easy or cheap unless you're already in an industry where you can mess around. Not to mention parts aren't always easily accessible and getting harder to find, or tools are designed to be not easily repaired, along with technical/electrical details not being easily found a la cellphones/Apple as well. All in all, it's simply not profitable at a larger scale but certainly something you can do as a hobby.
@@Tbrick563why do you think it's law to have a return policy? Since it's not actually new tools they are already returned they don't have to keep a return policy. I would still buy.
Shout out to the editor, this must have been a bear to try and compile into 1 hour. And John is so awesome for actually following through on the mini truck. Best channel on RUclips!
I friggin' love it! To see the Unscrewed Crew rolling around in a Kei truck! That's gotta be the new Malecki crew challenge vehicle. See that rolling up to Home Depot, you know the clearance section is getting WIPED!
I have a shop full of Husky tool boxes, benches, carts and shelves. Never a problem and VERY affordable, especially when HD has them on sale. Fun vid. Thx.
These videos keep getting better and better! I live for Sunday morning. Now my wife has even started watching bc she hears me laughing and has to check it out. You got the best crew to date w Sam & Joe - great chemistry on video! Cheers,
@@DaxHewitt I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. Here we are a little over 1million views a week later. Surfing or not, there is an audience, and we are enjoying it.
More like "... Opens pallets" second time randomly get a video of him doing it and taking over an hour -.- i would be annoyed if i had to watch ads all the time...
I worked at a retail store that sold gladiator while in college and all the gladiator tool chests and cabinets come super dinged up and bent all the time. The metal is super thin and cheap. The gladiator reps would get pissed at us all the time saying we were messing them up by unloading them improperly and dropping them while stocking it. They never took the blame for their crappy quality products.
Why did my heart nearly pound out of my chest haha My husband is an incredible carpenter and I own a cosmetic tattoo salon yet I’m the one following you guys and watching every video haha
Wow almost all the money back in one pallet, you luck sob. I love those pass loads as I've used them before and they are much more useful than air powered but of course you need to keep a battery backup and gas can in your belt. Love these videos and I think you should start an online discount tool store.
Not to mention that it would just be fun! Lol Gotta have the capital to get started though. It seems like if you could afford the first pallet, you could hustle it to keep buying more.
I absolutely love John and his channels, such great content!! Crazy thing is I don’t even do any form of wood working, haha!! It just showed up in my feed about a year and half ago and been hooked ever since. Plus, I just found out today John played in the NFL. Crazy talented boy!!!
As a HD employee I can tell you we send back good product all the time just to clear space... a ripped open box means vendor credit on a bunch of the power tools & store brands
I like finding tools that don't work Diagnosing the problem in side them and fixing them. Most of the time in returned tools that don't run the problem is in the trigger. It's a fun hobby.
Those resin/plastic shelves are great for air flow if you're storing boxes on concrete and have moisture issues. So even if they are crap as a shelving unit they can be useful.
They are common as dirt in trade shows for closets inside booths. Half the companies throw them out when the show closes because it costs too much to ship it back. Lots of Ikea Billy bookcases get thrown out because you can't disassemble them without breaking them. They have to pay 2 union carpenters to assemble them. (2x $140hr x 5 hours) you do the math
I'm new to contractor work. And it's providing for my family amazingly, im literally buying a tool i need with every paycheck. i was hoping I could buy one of those Milwaukee packs out new or use whatever condition, Milwaukee is the tool set im building
The paslode is great. Used their trim nailer for almost a decade now. Got their new model about 3 years ago... So handy for running trim without tripping over a hose or dragging a compressor around
The best part of that whole thing was the fact that the mini truck said m12 on the back...that is just the chefs kiss to that beautiful tiny machine haha
0:53 I'm a single mom who has been wanting to get into this business of buying and reselling just couldn't afford to do it I've come into a little bit of money I'm literally I am starting at the bare minimum but totally have my heart invested in this I've never felt so strongly about something in my life I'm just letting you guys know just from watching you guys I'm going to do it no worries I'm not dumb I know it's going to be a lot of hard work and probably a lot of ups and downs but I know I can do it so I was just sending you guys this comment to let you know your videos are great and I appreciate you guys thank you sincerely Tina Merritt
Honestly I think with the 3 of yall this is the best the channels have ever been. John Sam and Joe make a killer team. Hopefully yall can all stay together for awhile. I know new jobs come available but really yall look like yall have a ton of fun together. Hopefully it's not just a front for the camera and yall actually hangout and stuff off camera.
No but my boss shed a tear when we had to break open one of those concrete adhesives at a job site the other day so some of the stuff if you take off 100 from the top will be happily bought
I have also wanted one of those used japanese mini trucks. I think they would be super useful on the property. Slightly bigger than most of the much more expensive side by sides
Those framing nailer are legit best bang for buck and will no doubt last hundreds of jobs if not dropped from. The top of the scaffolding or ladder....😅 the nailer takes gas and a battery. You need both
I feel like that DeWalt bag was pretty affordable. The bag, drill, impact, rachet, saw, and a battery for $400. That seems pretty good. $400 of Milwaukee would get you maybe an impact and drill.
Watching your videos makes me really wish I had any sort of tool collection lol. First time home owner, 40 year old dude, i think I have like 4 screw drivers, a hammer, and some socket set. I watch these videos and just drool.
Last year I bought a pallet of oil, anti freeze, cases of spray lube and in the middle of it all was 6 cases of Expired fish tank conditioner. I was so pissed but still made 600 bucks off it.
When he showed us the Milwaukee mini truck at the beginning, I wanted him to win instantly. I am so happy that Sam crushed you both combined with picking pallets. Concrete glue for the win! LOL
That husky rack that's beat to hell around the 57 minute mark is pretty good when they don't look like that. I've had one in my living room with a 55 gallon fishtank for 3 years now. I took the lower shelf out to use it's supports at the top for the tank but it supports the 900 lb filled tank strong with no bowing.
Haha, at least you provided, Sam seems to have a keen eye and that kei truck is sick! Just up your street too! 😂 Most entertaining tool unopening so far.
I haven’t watched your channel before finding this series, but I’d say you guys are well within your right to plug all your merch as frequently as you are in this video. The audience is already hearing all sorts of brands left and right, they’re getting free advertisement just from you guys examining the differences between as-new packaging versus used, so you might as well put your own brand into the mix. In case you guys were wondering if that was getting obnoxious or not.
We used to do buys like that back in the late '80's. It was trailers full of returned Alltrade tools from Home Depot. Asan example there would be say three pallets of bench grinders that had a single wire in the wrong place. Simple fix. Sell at a swap meets for $20. We made a sh*t ton of cash. Great fun too.
Paslodes are the lightest cordless framing nailer by far, and fun to shoot. Because of the gas cartridge they don’t like the winter very much and you have to keep buying them. Nothing beats pneumatic for a framing nailer in my opinion.
I thoroughly enjoy your vids! My hubby was a real tool man! You guys are pretty funny, too!! I have a little tv production background and just want to say that your editor R O C K S!!!
I work at Home Depot . This isn’t surprising at all people return half of the lights that came in it they returned stuff out of season like Christmas happen. They return the Christmas lights Halloween. They return after Halloween ended. It’s not surprising at all. They returned stuff after they used it because they only needed it one time.
Just recently started to watch your channel and I really like what you’re doing and the ideas of cheaper tools but I’m a HVAC technician and I’d like too see videos of cheap flare tools and swedgers as well as the pro press because these videos can help alot of people from buying the cheap stuff and or could also save them a lot of money.
My dad has one of those DeWalt 4.5" saws, they're really nice for sheet goods, and can cut 2x lumber. They handle really well. The blades are more expensive than for a 7-1/4 though.

Best prize choice ever. We have been looking at kei trucks forever for our property. Sam is my spirit animal.
i have 3 suzuki carrys and a honda acty here in Canada. Look for a Hijet jumbo cab, they are the dogs bollocks of Kei trucks
I want to see John try to get into that truck and drive it.
You guys need to open a hardware liquidation retail store and start buying these pallets on the regular. Looks like you could make some serious money.
And deal with returns of returns. Seems like nothing but a headache
@@Tbrick563 "All Sales Final" no need to worry about returns.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to cool
Genius screen name
you sir just reminded me of my late mother she always said this ,,,, always thought it was an old scottish womans saying hahahah
I've got a buddy like that lol
I love that you actually stood behind your word and bought the Truck. That's really cool of you and now you have a fun lil shop truck to play with.
Joe needs to be in front of the camera more. The 3 of you on screen are a dope trio.
agreed
These videos keep getting better and better! I live for Sunday morning. Now my wife has even started watching bc she hears me laughing and has to check it out. You got the best crew to date w Sam & Joe - great chemistry on video! Cheers,
You just know he's screaming damnit because he loves that truck.
Yup, he knew he couldn't say no when he saw it because he wanted it to.
I give it a year before we get an “I bought a Home Depot” video
No way, all you have to do to predict malecki videos is to see what the latest internet trend is. Malecki is basic the surfer of internet trend waves.
@DownEastSaw why are you so angry with John
Only if Joe buys it
@@DownEastSawyep, look at what is popular and copy it.
It's the personality and the comedy that bring people back though so it's all good.

An hour of the boys and returned tools with a mini truck on the line, LET'S GO !! Appreciate y'all
Nothing better than waking up on a Sunday morning to a John Maleki video!
Y'all... When I tell you I was excited by that last shot
The channel should be renamed to “John Malecki Gets Screwed”
I think they are saving that as a last ditch effort into Only Fans.
Did you watch the video?
Half of us are subscribed to the channel to watch the dumpster fire 😂
😅

I feel like going out and buying stuff like you guys, could be beneficial. Nice little side hustle and if I sell everything I don’t need.
Not to mention that it would just be fun! Lol
Gotta have the capital to get started though. It seems like if you could afford the first pallet, you could hustle it to keep buying more.
It appears the one pallet at a time method is hit or miss. One should buy multiple pallets to up their odds of success.
@@vinster8884this is the way
John is a man of his word!! Well played Sam!
John over here said "let me make my last pick first!" now that's a sly devil.
Why are our profile pictures so similar lmao
haha yeah that was something. 'i'm going last so let me pick first'

Sam needs to get a heavy weight championship belt for pallet picking
As a HD employee I can tell you we send back good product all the time just to clear space... a ripped open box means vendor credit on a bunch of the power tools & store brands
And all the online items returned in store get sent back
Every time I see a new post about tool returns my reaction is “ really another one” then I watch it and enjoy it. So keep bringing it on! Love it.

I've been keeping an eye on market place for one of those white husky workbench/ boxes. Guess I gotta start buying large pallets of returns 🤣
You guys rock!! I’ve never had so much fun watching boxes being opened! I watched the whole dang thing!!!!!!
It would be interesting to see a video one day, where you show us, what you actually DO with all those used/returned goods.
I'm new to contractor work. And it's providing for my family amazingly, im literally buying a tool i need with every paycheck. i was hoping I could buy one of those Milwaukee packs out new or use whatever condition, Milwaukee is the tool set im building
Sam’s speech patterns and inflection are the best 😂. Absolutely died when he said “this coup was inevitable”
Sam totally needs his own show on the channel 😜
The paslode is great. Used their trim nailer for almost a decade now. Got their new model about 3 years ago... So handy for running trim without tripping over a hose or dragging a compressor around
48:33 i love that we can see the tape keeping it from opening and he said "its lock" 😂😂😂 it was 100% functional
tape was cut , it was the lock
@DenisDanca aaah truuuee!
I was too tired i guess 🤣🤦♂️
Holy moly, those Paslode nailers are friggin' awesome. The Perkins Builder Brothers use them all the time.
I think most guys are going away from them because of the fuel. It's easier to use batteries. Those cans of fuel are pricey. @$15 ea.
The ending was brilliant 😂😂😂 can't wait to see that truck!
Well done with the 4 Paslodes. If you take care of them they will last and last. 👍🏻
I think you need a partner with a coffee company so you don’t have to worry about getting bad coffee anymore 😂 (43:25)
That husky packout is pretty nice thats the one I got 3 years running still got the handles, still locks, still rolls
Love the way you Segway from nailers to shop shades and yes that is industry leading nailer for sure
The best part of that whole thing was the fact that the mini truck said m12 on the back...that is just the chefs kiss to that beautiful tiny machine haha
That mini truck is a BEAST. I would love to own one
especially a 4WD Atty!
Id love the tool boxes or workbenches for sure. Amazing score!

An hour long Malecki video is more exciting that the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade.
25 minutes in and I'm having a blast, this is a damn TV show.
Just because Home Depot charges $100 for three totes doesn't mean you're going to get more than $30 for the set.
No but my boss shed a tear when we had to break open one of those concrete adhesives at a job site the other day so some of the stuff if you take off 100 from the top will be happily bought
Absolutely
That's why they sold them wholesale!
I have also wanted one of those used japanese mini trucks. I think they would be super useful on the property. Slightly bigger than most of the much more expensive side by sides
1:01:12 $5000 smash cut for the LOLZ
You talked about donating, some of the storage stuff can be donated to scout groups, i know that my local group would appreciate it

The prize truck is literally the coolest thing ever lol. HUGE upgrade over the Ranger... hahaha
9:05 I have the blower/shopvac combo for the last 6-7 years. The thing still works great and I got it for like $80 new
Appreciate you - this was a great watch on a Sunbday afternoon in Minnesota. Keep it up and let it spray.
Poor John , with no top on the Husky makes me wish he knew someone who could make a top for it LOL
I am impressed! I did not think you’d get the truck.
Paslode is one of the most amazing tools on the market,from framer to finish to angle nailer.
Good lord they still make those red Lincoln welders , was my first stick welder 42 years ago ,this was fun
Cheers from Aus
Working for John looks so fun such a great and cool boss, makes me want to learn to build things
When he showed us the Milwaukee mini truck at the beginning, I wanted him to win instantly. I am so happy that Sam crushed you both combined with picking pallets. Concrete glue for the win! LOL
That kei truck with M12 Fuel logo on the bed 😂😂😂 this was fun thanks guys!
Dude slips a Rack "em Willie reference in there and goes completely unnoticed!
That was the best hour I've ever had sitting on the toilet while watch a RUclips video
I think y’all should do a live stream Joe and Sam assembling all those cabinets and workbenches 🤣
That husky rack that's beat to hell around the 57 minute mark is pretty good when they don't look like that. I've had one in my living room with a 55 gallon fishtank for 3 years now.

Thanks for keeping Shady alive!
The most unbelievable thing about this is the Home Depot website working long enough to find all the prices.
I want that truck!
I haven’t watched your channel before finding this series, but I’d say you guys are well within your right to plug all your merch as frequently as you are in this video.

The new shop service truck🤣. I sat here and watched this whole video, good haul on the pallets.
We used to do buys like that back in the late '80's. It was trailers full of returned Alltrade tools from Home Depot. Asan example there would be say three pallets of bench grinders that had a single wire in the wrong place. Simple fix. Sell at a swap meets for $20. We made a sh*t ton of cash. Great fun too.
Good job, Sam. Gotta give it to John for being a good sport.
John is such a awesome guy his workers are lucky to have
Home Depot must know you do this now so they send you the best pallets...
Paslodes are the lightest cordless framing nailer by far, and fun to shoot. Because of the gas cartridge they don’t like the winter very much and you have to keep buying them. Nothing beats pneumatic for a framing nailer in my opinion.
Yes that's a real good BOSS 🤟 he even gives the prise the winner wanted 🙌🙌🙌 John
Technically, if they sell the stuff, it's part of the profit. Basically, free. I like it.

Used the Paslode a lot. Used to keeping the gas inside my clothes so I could swap them out regularly in the winter cold 😅
Awesome lads . I’d love to have a laugh and call it work . I’m a carpenter and joiner of 32yrs in the uk and those days sailed a long time ago 😢
Love it can’t wait to see the truck review and little delivery durability test drive
That Milwaukee K truck is sick as hell.
Man I love my Sunday Malecki Mornings. Much like my Sunday mornings in the yesteryears with the Three Stooges ❤
