Used power tools are one of the most reliable flips there is: tradespeople and DIYers always need them, prices are stable, and value is easy to verify. Brand tier is everything â professional lines (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita) hold 40â60% of retail used, while consumer brands drop to 10â20%. Batteries included can double a cordless tool's price.
Pro: Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch Blue, Hilti (highest resale). Mid: Ryobi, Bosch Green, Craftsman. Budget brands barely resell.
On cordless tools, working batteries are half the value â a bare tool vs. a kit with 2 batteries + charger can differ 2â3x.
Tools are bought to work: test it, show it running. Cosmetic wear is expected and barely matters; a burnt smell kills the sale.
Old US/German-made tools (pre-1980 Milwaukee, older Festo/Festool, Porter-Cable) have enthusiast demand for build quality.
