Sell Your Angle Grinder in Canada

Used angle grinders in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Grinders lead a hard life, so buyers assume heavy use and check the guard, bearings and switch.

Selling an angle grinder in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Spin the spindle by hand feeling for play
• Confirm the guard is present and adjusts

Getting it ready

• Fit the guard if it has been removed and confirm it locks in position. A grinder without a guard should not be sold for use.
• Note the disc size and gather the spanner, side handle and any spare discs.

Put in the description

• Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
• Bearing condition and whether it runs smoothly
• Cable and plug condition

Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.

Remove any fitted disc before transport or posting. Box it with the guard secured, and include the spanner — changing a disc without it is awkward.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$226 a buyer pays is the C$226 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell an angle grinder in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What disc size does it take?

State the diameter. Discs are consumables the buyer already owns in a particular size, and the wrong size makes the tool useless to them.

Is it safe to buy a used angle grinder?

Yes if the guard is present and the switch releases properly. Both are safety critical and easy to check.

Should I sell one without a guard?

Source a replacement first. A grinder with no guard is genuinely dangerous and many buyers will refuse it.
