I'm curious about how everyone here builds their DeWalt collections. Do most of you stick to big retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's, or do you explore second-hand marketplaces like eBay or Facebook? What are your go-to sources, and where do you feel you get the best deals for your hard-earned cash?

I've gotten most of my tools at Home Depot and Lowe's during their sales, especially clearance or buy one, get one free deals. I'm a DIY enthusiast, so I take my time buying replacements. The tricky part is knowing the regular pricing throughout the year, not just the sale prices. I usually check sites like Reddit and Slickdeals for the best offers.
Honestly, I don't trust marketplaces like Facebook for used tools. It’s hard to tell what's legit, and let's be real—workmen usually don’t sell their good tools. When I buy, I head straight to the DeWalt website to find linked retailers and go for the cheapest option available.
I prefer to purchase online from reliable suppliers, especially because tool theft is a huge issue where I live. I keep a list of tools I want and wait for sales to grab them at good discounts. I've been building my collection for about five years now and feel like I'm set, but I still keep an eye out for great deals.
Couldn't agree more! The only time I'd consider buying used tools is if I know the seller isn't using them anymore. Usually, good tools get passed down in families.
