Lock Picking Lawyer here and today I show you how I can open John Malecki's safe with a pair of Shop Shades in under 3 minutes...

The STRAPS!!!! The straps were supposed to go back on the trucks to the warehouse. They shipped them back in a return box which is supposed to hold small RTV (Return To Vendor)items. The straps are not return items. As a former HD receiving associate I am still laughing about that and the number of emails I have read from corp. requesting the return of the truck straps. We now know where some of them have ended up.

Joe needs to buy all return pallets. Period.

As a former employee of Home Depot, sometimes we would RTV or "Return To Vender" items that were just returned for unexpected reasons with the item completely unused or displays when new items came out. The Spax screws were more than likely put in the Husky tool box by receiving before being sent out because Spax was dropped by Home Depot.

Babe wake up John bought another pallet!!

I’m going to personally watch this video 1 MILLION TIMES!!!!! I wanna see you unpack a litteral truck load of items.

The stock taking company I worked for had a neat trick for counting hardware you weigh the total and weigh single screw/bolt and do the math when counting millions saves you hours

So where is the contest on viewers guessing how many screws are in the bin for a laser level :) hahaha

I can guarantee you those laser levels were stolen from one HD and returned to another HD...It's a commonscam.

Those husky tough boxes are pretty solid. We use them in my unit, it makes a good range box and they’ve been beaten to hell, dropped out of aircraft, and filled with all sorts of nefarious tools and they still work fine after years of abuse at the hands of my platoon everywhere from Iraq to Bulgaria to NC.

Yup cheap vs expensive beginner to pro tool boxes.... Like a tool box for just a random home owner to a tool box for the guy who fixes everything! ❤❤

You got to do Tractor Supply I work at one and we will literally take back anything even things we don’t sell.

15:31 the little thing is part of the locking bar that is supposed to swing down to let you lock the drawers shut, those were the things you called the "extra slides"

For anyone wondering. Home Depot associates (literally any associate) can RTV (return to vendor) practically anything in the store. We’ve RTV’d shit before just cause the box looked bad and we get credit for the RTV. So in the instance of the ryobi packout, they likely RTV’d that to get rid of it cause they didn’t have anywhere to put it and didn’t want to deal with it. Same probably happened with the Milwaukee levelers since Milwaukee always gives credit to RTVing their tools. Although I would say a good portion of rtvs come from returns.

Weigh 10 different screws and get the avg. Weigh all the screws all together and there's your screw count give or take a few. Edit: I worked at a hardware store and seen Hillman reps do the inventory like this.

The "safe" isn't to prevent theft. It's to prevent important documents from being destroyed if you have a house fire. So it doesn't matter if it's small enough to pick up and carry away.

Working at home Depot, the discounted and damaged stuff were damaged in store or shipping and likely not sold to customers, the stuff with RLC tags are more then likely customer returns

For the screws, count maybe 20-50, and weigh. Then weigh them all and do the math.

just as an aside, a safe isnt just to prevent theft, most of them are actually more to protect documents and such from fire damage, the (easy) theft prevention is just a bonus ;)

for the cart with wheels some cut down 1x4s on the sides of the bottom will help prevent it from buckling since it's already been bent in. I did some thinner 2x2 angle iron nut and bolted on my old one. stiffened it right up.

Hey John, if you're not going to use those E-track ratchet straps, our High School marching band could sure use them!

I work at HD... These are RTV pallets... So yes, returns. Also, those US Cargo Control straps are usually meant to be sent back on the returns pallets so the Reverse Logistics Center (RLC) can ship them back to our DCs for the trucks

Those straps are how they strap down pallets in the back of the dry van trailers. It was definitely put on there by accident. They're normally at the shippers. They'll secure the load and the seal the doors. I'm a truck driver and that's what we use

Those straps can still be used because they sell standalone brackets that those hook into. Brackets pretty simple so you could make small individual ones and just hook them onto places and pop them off when not needed.

Funny how those ratchet straps make us laugh. After we get our goods from the store, we put them away and box them. Once the box is filled, they usually send the items back in a return trailer or UPS. It's an intriguing unintentional freebie.

1 week before this video was posted, i just purchased about 17 pallets from home depot return product. This is a wonderful way to renovate a home or stock up on tools. I got enough tile and flooring to re floor my entire home, garage and outbuilding... for just slightly more then he payed for this video.

Saw your video going down a KZfaq rabbited hole. Didn't put it all together (lineman for Steelers) but I heard you say "Yinz." That's when I figured it all out! I live about an hour from you guys. Anyway, I've watched like 7 of your videos just today...GREAT CONTENT! THANKS!

We use that Husky job box for my son's toy box. I told my wife I finally found my perfect job, opening pallets of returned tools from all my favorite stores LOL

Get a Menard's pallet next!!Let's GOOOOOO!!😂😂

I have a 100 gallon Husky rolling box that I used for coaching soccer, camping, fishing. It is so awesome to store all your crap and then you have a chair/table to use. Granted it takes up the entire back of my Honda CRV but they are great.

Former HD employee here with their MET team. First, the straps... I know those straps were supposed to go back to the transport/warehouse/vendor. Those are used in nearly every shipping container to keep stuff from toppling over. Secondly, some of those cabinets and tool boxes were probably display models that had their "effectiveness" used up. (ie. they were beat up enough that customers were dissuaded into not buying because they look cheap with damage on them. Once a display model was deemed "too beat up", MET (Merchandise Execution Team) would markdown (Remove from inventory) the damaged item. There were guidelines on what was supposed to happen to the damaged item. Some of the items would get returned to vendor and some were just tossed into the trash. Third, The laser levels. This is the CRAZIEST thing... Those laser levels were probably sent back to vendor because *drum roll* the PACKAGING was updated. I cannot tell you the number of items that were pulled from shelves and either trashed or sent back to vendor to update the packaging. In some very rare instances, inventory would show that a store had "x" amount of the product being updated/replaced. MET would look for the item(s) in their proper locations (where inventory shows they are located on shelves), in the overheads in the surrounding area and in receiving. If we could not find it, it was notated. On some occasions the item would turn up (usually someone had attempted to steal the item and Loss Prevention stopped the theft but forgot to return it to where it belonged and was sitting in the corner of the security office) but usually, it was part of "shrinkage" (loss via theft, damage, store use).

You need to buy a Menards truck!! That would be freaking epic!!!

Hilarious! It's like Christmas as a 9 year old... but by proxy. Thanks for a great start to the day.

Yes toe straps are usable in bike tires keeps the thorns from getting in and cutting your tubes!!! So there is another use for toe straps besides towing a car!!

E-Track bits can be bought at some home depots.... One can cut down chunks of rail, or get individual connectors.... I used some 16' straps to tie down sets of shelves....

The energy when you guys are opening good pallets is off the chain. 😂 everyone is just super happy

6:56 fun fact: In Europe you can't buy just one or two return pallets. It's either 4 pallets or truckload (32 pallets) and those cost about 5-30k€

Oh I have one of those husky storage boxes on wheels, it's pretty great. Had it for ~8 years outside exposed to the elements and it's held up fine.

Had 2 of those husky boxes for years while I traveled as a millwright, one for smaller tools and work related stuff and the other for clothes they held up well even left the tailgate down and dropped it out the truck at 30 and it was good

Lol about those ratchet straps..lol when we receive our loads in the store we set them aside and box them..when the box is full they usually either ups or send them in a return trailer lol..interesting accidental freebie lol

Can’t wait to watch John unbox 74 hole saws

John I dfaf about your tools, I love the energy you bring, thank you soooo much!!!

Those safes are actually perfect. It's just for stuff you don't want anyone easily accessing. Like your passport and your gun. If someone picks it up and carriers it away don't worry, you've got a dozen more.

Find a Menards return pallet, they’re have some crazy stuff

John, you are now the dolly lama of Pittsburgh. LMAO

The one thing that got me excited was the drawer full of lag bolts...😂

I have that 24" top box the one that is 138, I bought it 5 years ago and had coupons. I bought it and the 5 drawer bottom for around 200 bucks cause the combo was on sale and the coupons. its lasted perfect and still works great.

We want the truckload!!!

Weigh 10 screws, then weigh the whole lot and do some math.

application video, very practical for everyone, thank you,I love this your video

That Husky job box now serves as my son's play box. I told my wife I have got my perfect job, opening pallets of returned tools from all my favorite retailers lol.

where do you buy the return pallets from?

Cmon, algorithm! Get this to 1M views! John needs a semi truck of returns

Those are D-backed hand carts which are great for couriers becuase they lay level for loading... Don't stack, load laying down and lift up...👍👍

The Husky roller box/tool crate is the BOMB! I love that thing.

Just weigh the screws so you don't need to find someone who can count.

John - one of the car youtubers over here just randomly cooks stuff in his workshop mid episode. Like they'll finish dismantling an engine then just whack out loads of ingredients and a grill, it's like a cooking show within a car show. ALOT of the viewers are there purely for the "easy" but great recipes, maybe try injecting them into your episodes?

I'm a contractor and I return stuff to Home Depot all the time and I wondered what happens to all that stuff and now I know thank you go Steelers

Love that nows theres an app. As soon as you said it I had to download it.

My friends and i also saw a box, my friend said ‘i can fit there’ and indeed he does

For the bolts: Assuming they're all the same. Weigh one to get the weight per item, then weigh the entire lot and divide by the single unit weight. Makes inventory waaaaaay easier.

❤ this and the anticipation of weather its worth it or not

I have that same job box for lugging my guitar gear around and its A+ awesome

just came across your site. Crazy, absolutely crazy and funny yet informative. I’m looking forward to your next episode🎉

The trailer straps are for home depots in system shipping.

I don't know if they sell them but I'd love to see a Tractor Supply Co. pallet. I work for them and their return policies are *very* generous, could be some wild things in a return pallet.

#39 on trending congrats. You made it

20:41 Sam, weigh 10 screws, put them all in a bucket, (TARE the weight of the empty bucket) Then use the weight of 10 screws to calculate how many screws there are. *example: 40 nickels weigh 1/4 pound, so 80 nickels weigh 1/2 pound.* or...... if you're getting paid by the hour, count each one!🤣

Those straps are what are supposed ti keep the products safe in the van trailers we use. (I delivered for home depot a few times) so probably return those to the store. Us truckers need them. They are like gold to us.

I work at some Home Depots in California and those bolts are all more than $1 a pop. The shortest ones they make are still at least 90¢+ and those looked to be longer ones. To the right person that drawer is a small jackpot. 😄👍

I have the Bosch green light laser kit. Uses 4AA not the 12v. Totally badass. Hint outside just beam to a white piece of paper. Build decks to hanging pictures.

When John’s super happy going through the pallet, “guys, Jeeze we have to be at $450 dollars by now.,”. Sam “$655”. John’s”$655 wow, let’s keep going”. It happens almost every pallet where John is off by a minimum of $200 +. What an absolute home run. With this purchase. Makes me want to go buy a pallet!

I love these videos. I have learner alot from this channel❤

Regarding the bolts: Presuming they are same. Once you know how much each item weighs, weigh the entire batch and divide the total weight by the weight of a single unit. simplifies inventory a great deal.

Big tool shops throw a lot of stock in the dumpster when new products come out. My son worked at big tool store and used to bring home heaps of new Milwaukee power tools that didn’t sell.

Let's go. John you gotta give all those bolts to Lou and get him to weld something cool with the welder from the temu pallet. Next return pallet Amazon and woodcraft 😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

The laser levels are cool! Would be even more awesome if they were in Packout boxes.

I have one of those safes and it’s great. The trick is to bolt into studs. Then when it’s locked there is no access to the lags

I just ordered that EXACT safe… several websites listed it as the best. I’m looking forward to using it

Those tool bags make great fishing tackle bags...i use one in my kayak

Definite yes on the tool chest comparison. Could have snap on, husky, general and whatever brand lowe's sells

Thoroughly convinced they saw the address for shipping and made sure to make it good so more people buy them

My grandad use to gimme tools out the home depo compactor *big garbage dumpster* got whole dewalt tool sets hand tools lots of cool stuff practicly new

Great content thanks for sharing

If you’re wanting to do something for truckers, go to a truck stop and hand out those straps. We drivers ALWAYS need them

Hell yeah, I love these videos.

I look forward to these videos every week. It’s like Christmas for our viewing pleasure.

Ok Mr Malecki that was a damn fine haul. I love this channel and have loved seeing it grow. Congratz team.

‘I’ve gotten my shit pushed in “ hilarious 😆 😂😂😂😂

If you have a scale weight one screw then dump all of them in a box to weigh them together. Quickest way to count something like that if you dont want to count them individually

Funny how you said the husky rolling site box is actually really or at least the older version I've been using for almost ten years. I did residential reroofs and we used it to hold our 4 nail guns, extension cords, air hoses, skil saw, gas blower and two sets of tool bags and all the hand tools we ever needed for a four man crew and even a spare box of coil nails and a couple bricks of 5×7 tin shingles. I know that sounds like I'm lieing but it even held our emglo air compressor from time to time and it's currently being used to hold two coil nailers, a senco m2, bostitch framing nailer, two brad nailers, narrow crown stapler, 2 50ft yellow jacket extension cords, 100ft 1/2" air hose, 3 50ft 1/4" air hose, 1/4 sheet sander, 6 1/2 skil saw, 7 1/1 skil saw, ryobi 18v 1/2" drill, milwaukee 4 1/2 angle grinder, and a ton of hand tools including vice grip clamps, speed squares, rafter square, hand saw, 3 flat bars, cats paw, multiple putty knives, utility knives, utility blades, 4 1/2" grinder blades, caulk8ng gun and multiple tubes of Caulking. I can't say enough good things about them they just aren't the biggest so you have to organize to get more in than you first think you will.

Love your videos man. Share them all with my uncle, he's also a fellow wood worker, although not as great as you. (Don't tell him I said that) Thanks for the vids, keep em coming.

The shit I see Sam do in these... I love it lol. Did Chris just say he's proud?!?!? LOL

Can’t wait for the truck load buy

Keep the straps an buy the clip mounts from harbor freight and weld them to post around the shop to hold plywood and other things of that sort

You can insulate and modify that first storage box (after the dollies) into a job site power station. If you do solar looks big enough for the Jackery solar(? I think that's the brand??) and some outlets.

Bro I know you’re probably not going to see this but if you don’t want those workbenches I will definitely take them. 💯 I’ll make them to good use, I’m in the army and bought a house with a decent sized garage finally and have been looking for a workbench.

They sell the tracks for those straps at harbor freight. Very handy

“What are we gonna do with all of these?” Organize? Send me the Ryobi ones? Just spitballin’ lol

If I ever have the extra money, I would love to try and buy a pallet of returns from Home Depot, Lowes, or Harbor Freight, maybe even Amazon. I have been looking for bins like that black one you got to use in the back of my work truck to store things that I can not fit in the side cabinets.
