If you no longer need the tool, you can sell it or pawn. While there are pros and cons to each, by far the fastest way to get cash for your power tools is to pawn them. This is because you don’t have to try to find a buyer.
If you stick with popular tools, those that both DIYers and contractors use, you are in good shape. These items tend to get you the most money because of high demand for them.

Not only does a charged battery help you prove the tool works, seeing that the battery can hold a charge is another way to get top dollar for the tool.
