I know you already made your purchase, Anthony. But just a follow up for maybe a future decision,,, I bought the M12V and it was a factory recondition one, I got mine on Ebay for $135.00, two years ago,, when I took it out of the unmarked box, I examined it, and there was not the smallest mark of any kind on it, you could have put it on the shelf of any store and it would have been impossible to tell it from one of theirs. I once read in a magazine, an article on buying factory reconditioned tools, They claimed that a lot of the time, those tools are ones that have been sold to a customer and returned, quite often, unused as if they were bought as a gift and the recipient just did not want it. or ordered but never picked up. Or any number of other reasons that the tool was not sold and returned to the factory. The article said, once the tool was returned to the factory,, it could not be sold for BRAND NEW,, so this is a way for the company to still sell the tool and recoup their production cost for the tool. They do offer the full warranty and a company would be foolish to put out a product that they knew was defective, because the end result would be a black eye for their reputation. Now that I think of it, I have bought a couple of other tools that were facory reconditioned and I do not remember any problems from any of those. So I guess I am saying , I would have no problem buying a tool that was advertised as "Factory Reconditioned"., if I felt the deal was a good one.
