Recommend Reconditioned Tools

I recently purchased a combo kit to do some work around the house.

I just needed something small and portable, so my choices came down between the factory reconditioned Milwaukee 2490-82 and new 2490-22 Cordless Driver & Hackzall Combo Kit.

The reconditioned 2490-82 cost $169.55 and the new 2490-22 cost $199.99 (about a $30 difference for a few marks). Most probably wouldn't be able to tell this was a reconditioned combo kit by looking at the picture on the left (took the picture with my phone after I removed the bubble wraps).

I would definitely recommend promoting reconditioned tools: it's cheaper, it's just as good as new, customer receives a full manufacturer warranty and a 100% Tool King Satisfaction guarantee.

Tooliday Affiliate Program

Our quartet of Deal of the Day sites, Tooliday.com, has been moved to the same checkout used on ToolKing.com. Before, Tooliday ran on a web platform provided by a third party. While this had worked great for Tooliday's first couple years, the limited control we had over the site has become a constraint. By moving Tooliday to the same checkout used on Tool King, we will gain a myriad of operational and marketing benefits (especially our affiliate partners).

ShareASale was the only affiliate network you could join to promote our Tooliday deals. However, now that Tooliday's checkout is on ToolKing.com, you will be able to promote and earn commission through any of the affiliate networks that ToolKing.com is on.

For Tooliday.com customers, the look and feel of Tooliday won't change much; the main difference will be that checkout will now occur on ToolKing.com.
