Power tools hold their value better than almost anything else in the secondhand market, which is exactly why the good listings vanish so fast. A brushless Milwaukee combo kit priced to move can be gone within minutes of hitting Facebook Marketplace, and by the time you refresh the app a reseller has already messaged the seller. DealHunter watches all seven marketplaces at once so you don't have to keep seven tabs open.

The used tool market is fragmented in a way that works against buyers. eBay is deep on bare tools and lot listings, Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp dominate local cash-and-carry deals, Craigslist still surfaces estate-sale and contractor-liquidation finds, and Mercari picks up mailable accessories and batteries. No single site gives you the whole picture. A saved search on DealHunter pools them into one feed and pushes you the moment a match appears.

Batteries and platform lock-in are where people overpay. A 'cheap' drill on one platform stops being cheap once you price the M18 or FlexVolt packs it needs. The smart play is to set an alert broad enough to catch full kits and battery bundles, then let the deals come to you instead of paying retail for a starter set.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which marketplaces have the best used power tool deals?+
It depends on what you want. eBay carries the deepest inventory of bare tools and multi-tool lots and lets you compare sold-vs-asking easily. Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp win on local same-day cash deals, especially full kits from people clearing out a garage. Craigslist still surfaces contractor liquidations and estate sales. DealHunter watches all of them at once so you catch the best price wherever it lands, instead of committing to one site.
How do I avoid overpaying for a used cordless tool?+
Price the batteries, not just the tool. A bare drill is nearly worthless without a compatible pack, and genuine Milwaukee M18, DeWalt 20V MAX or Makita LXT batteries often cost more than the tool itself. Look for full kits that include chargers and at least two batteries, watch for the model number (brushless models command a premium for a reason), and be skeptical of suspiciously cheap "genuine" batteries — counterfeit packs are common and can be a fire risk.
Can DealHunter alert me for a specific brand or model?+
Yes. Set keywords like 'Milwaukee M18 fuel' or 'DeWalt DCK299' with a price ceiling, and DealHunter pings you the moment a matching listing appears on any of the seven marketplaces. You can use AND/OR logic and exclusions to filter out accessories, broken-for-parts listings, or the wrong battery platform.
Is DealHunter free to use for tracking power tool deals?+
Yes — a free account includes one saved search that monitors all seven marketplaces and sends you deal alerts. If you hunt multiple brands or want faster alert speed, paid plans add more saved searches and quicker notifications, but you never need a credit card to start.
