Though borrowing from tool libraries is definitely the way to go when you're tackling a weekend DIY project, the time will come, for some of us, when we need to own our own tools. Whether its for your job or a kitchen renovation, when it comes time to buy, we recommend going with refurbished tools.
These have already had one go-round (so, technically, it's recycling) and while many refurbished tools' appearance may not be quite good as new, if you're careful about where they come from, their performance should be. Go with factory (sometimes called "manufacturer") reconditioned tools-remember, there's a difference between "refurbished/reconditioned" and "used"-and buy directly from the manufacturer or a reseller they recommend; many will offer a warranty to insure that your new hardware will perform as it should for up to a year or so.Online retailers like Amazon, eBay and Craig's List often sell tools, but it's more difficult to verify their condition and working order-and more difficult to get a warranty-so we prefer places like Refurb Depot, Tool King, CPO Outlets, and Tyler Tool. By giving the tools a second life, you're keeping them out of the waste stream, and keeping more materials and resources from being consumed by new ones.
