Dewalt Trade Up program

There’s a Dewalt Factory service shop not too far from me, I stopped by to check it out but they were closed. I noticed they have a program where you can trade in old power tools and put the rebate toward new tools. Has anyone tried this before? I have a few dewalt,porter cable, black and decker power tools I would like to get rid of. I would rather trade then in then throw them away…

Thanks

Milwaukee had similar program, where they gave u 100$ off ur next m18 kit if u trade in a old 18v kit.

Have not seen this. Does anyone know what the trade up values are?

Yes, I have used it a few times.  As my old consumer line tools wear out, I trade-up to new DeWalt tools.  Good marketing move by DeWalt.  There are some restrictions.  For example you cannot trade-in a DeWalt/B&D/Bostich/Stanley/Porter-Cable (i.e., B&D Family) tool for a new DeWalt tool unless the B&D Family tool you are trading-in is no longer made or parts are not available.  For example, I traded in a P-C Bammer (early generation gas nailer) for a DeWalt 18-gauge 18V nailer, but only because the Bammer was no longer made and parts were not available.  Did the same for a broken Harbor Freight drill for a DeWalt 18V drill.

I have two other tools I want to upgrade.  One is a Fein 14.4V drill with dead NiCad batteries and it is big and very heavy.  The other is a P-C Contour Sander set which P-C no longer makes.  My problem is I do not need another drill or sander.  Wish I could trade-up for another DeWalt tool.  For example, a DeWalt Rotary Hammer Drill and a DeWalt 18V 16-gauge, 23-degree Nailer.  Maybe the Fein drill & DeWalt hammer drill might go together, but I doubt the contour P-C Contour Sander and DeWalt Nailer would.  In these cases, eBay might be a better way to go, then apply that money towards your new tool of whatever brand.

Where to go to do the exchange.  Any DeWalt/B&D Family service center, many independent tool or hardware stores.  Maybe Home Depot, Lowes or Menards.

Thanks guys,,, I’m going to try to get to this service center soon to see what I can trade in, I’ll let you know how I make out

yes I’ve seen this promo for Milwaukee in the past however I couldn’t take advantage as any of my tools are worth more to me than the allowed amount for trade in…..

I might be wrong but I think I remember napa auto parts store was doing the program for Dewalt out here last year.

That’s often the problem, they don’t want to give u crap for these tools that still have value.

Got a good deal on a new 10″ Dewalt DWE7491RS today, paid $510.00 for it after trading in an older Craftsman table saw. If you have a Dewalt repair shop close to you check it out….

I noticed the Acme tools store locally has a bin full of old tools they took in on trade, so the program must still be active.
