What raises and lowers the price of used power tools & hardware
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- Genuine professional-grade machines with a readable rating plate hold their value, while DIY-grade tools and copies do not.
- For cordless kit, the number of healthy packs and a matching charger, since the packs carry much of what a kit is worth.
- The original case, guard, side handle, chuck key and spare brushes still being with the tool.
- Whether brushes, switches and chucks for that particular model are still stocked in the local hardware market.
- How it has lived: concrete splatter, rust and a paint-spattered body read as heavy site use even when the motor is sound.
When an item is worth parts value only
- A motor that trips the breaker or smells of burnt insulation, which means a rewind rather than a service.
- A cracked gear case or a bearing seat worn oval, since the housing is the one part that cannot be improvised.
- A bent spindle or a missing guard on an angle grinder, which makes the tool unsafe to pass on.
- A cordless body on a discontinued battery platform with no pack available locally.
