What is the difference between new and reconditioned tools?

New tools are brand new and have never been used. They typically come straight from the manufacturer and have not been previously owned or repaired. On the other hand, reconditioned tools are pre-owned items that have been returned to the manufacturer or an authorized service center. These tools may have had defects or been damaged, but they have been professionally repaired, tested, and restored to like-new condition. Reconditioned tools are thoroughly inspected to meet manufacturer quality standards and are sold at a reduced price compared to new tools. While both new and reconditioned tools are reliable and perform the same functions, choosing between them depends on personal preference and budget. Reconditioned tools offer great value for money without compromising quality.
