Used power drills in Ottawa typically sell for C$47 to C$285 (about $34 to $200). Corded drills barely wear out, so yours sells on completeness and whether the chuck still grips — both easy to demonstrate and rarely mentioned.
Selling a power drill in Ottawa
Ottawa is a government town with stable, well-paid employment and severe winters. Turnover is driven by postings and by the two universities rather than by industry, and the goods that appear are generally well kept.
The city is straightforward to drive with plenty of parking, though the river divides the region and crossing it adds real time. Winter is long enough here to be a genuine planning constraint on anything bulky.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, batteries and glue joints. Winters here are long enough that a couple of seasons of storage does real damage.
Ottawa, in Ontario, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Toronto, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ottawa
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.
