Buying tools & DIY in Greensboro
Greensboro was a textile and tobacco centre and is now a logistics and university city, with several colleges including two historically Black institutions and a civil rights museum in the former lunch counter building.
Trade tools change hands within a district more than through any listing, and the good ones rarely travel far before somebody local takes them. Being nearby is most of what gets you to a well-kept set before anyone else does.
What to check in person
Run anything with a motor for a few seconds and listen for bearing noise or a burning smell. Check the cable along its whole length for nicks and repairs, look at the chuck or blade mount for play, and ask whether the battery still holds charge.
Collecting it in Greensboro
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The city is easy to drive in and parking is straightforward, so anything large is simple. Agree a meeting point off campus during move-in and move-out weeks.
