    Idk if you've priced hole saws lately but the 3-5" ones are like $35-45 a piece. 191x$40=$7,640. Not to mention the SDS bits, the gloves, the tin snips etc. I really don't think you got a bad deal. The hardest part of it is reselling.

      I agree that those hole saw bits are not cheap as had to buy a small (3-1/2" size) one a year ago and it was a shade over $25. Those large ones 5-inch plus have to be $50-plus. However unless you're doing a lot of hole saw work, he's got enough hole saws for ten lifetimes. Also a number of those tool bags are $25 a piece and on up. Wouldn't mind getting those Milwaukee hard cases as well.

    Broken bits can be sharpened and turned into say log bits you dont mind running into ground etc. Its still has the flute and its high carbon steel even if its missing the carbide end.
    Gloves and such are useful if the size fits. I would absolutely love that impact even though its wrecked, just fix the shell or get broken one to get the shell and since i dont run milwaukee swap it to Dewalt or Makita batteries easy enough. Those empty cases have suitable metal latches so great for tools that dont have cases and you need on to go, say cut the inside off and put in foam for your chosen tools or equipment. Those bags would be good for get out bags of tools you need on the run job, just pack based on the job, actually kinda looked one before but prices were ridiculous for what i saw for non tool brand ones.
    For resellable stuff inventory and sell it to store that sell stuff like this. For the broken ones, donate or give them to people who can fix them for their own use.

    The smaller ones obviously are going to be less but even so every single one of them will be worth probably at least $10 on up. I guarantee you’ve got $1500 worth of wholesale is there no problem and probably if you market it right you got two or $3000 worth.

I GUARANTEE you would at least double your money there. No sorting, no organizing. Just literally dump the stuff out of totes onto the table and let people go to town. At $7 each that's almost $1200 just in hole saws. I'm in southwest Michigan.

    you can buy a new clam shell very cheap for the broken screw gun. I have gotten shells for roughly $12 and even got lucky and got a shell and the led ring on a dewalt gun for $0.03 total. I got 3 incase they made a mistake but a couple years later they are still that price. when my dewalt tools start looking rough I change the clam shells and even replace with all new stickers. I also change the bearings if they start making a different noise under use. which is also very cheap if you measure and don't buy bearings from the manufacture

    From a shelf price perspective… the hole saws themselves have brought 3x your money back. Those things aren’t cheap. I just averaged $25 per hole saw. Came back at $4,775.

    Question for Milwaukee specialists:
    I have a Milwaukee M18 FMTIW2F12 that has an interesting bug. When I press the switch, the machine spins and diode number 3 (third gear) lights up for a long time. Only when the diode turns off is it possible to change the direction of rotation and start again. In addition, the maximum speed (diode number 3) cannot be changed. In order for it to work at all and not to wait for diode number 3 to go out, I remove and put back the battery. That means to change the wheels on a car that has 5 screws, I have to remove and put back the battery 10 times. Once I press the switch, I must not stop until the job is done, otherwise there will be a long pause or re-inserting and removing the battery.
