New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade tools and DIY equipment are listed across the full range for the category, $20 to $674 (about £15 to £500), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Unused in its case with the accessories bagged. On cordless tools that also means cells that have never been through a charge cycle.
Where the line falls
Tools wear at the cutting edge and in the motor: bits and blades dull, brushes wear down, chucks lose their grip, and cordless batteries die of age whether or not the tool was ever used.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Tools and DIY Equipment.
