Used angle grinders in Hamilton 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 Hamilton
Arrivals from Toronto typically move from a condo to a house and buy furniture to fill it, while the industrial base keeps tools and equipment turning over independently of the housing market.
The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
On used tools, ask whether they came from a trade or a home workshop. Trade tools are usually better maintained but have done far more work, and the price should reflect which you are buying.
Hamilton, in Ontario, has around 570,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hamilton

What angle grinders are worth
What lifts the price
- Smooth bearings with no wobble at the spindle
- Side handle and spanner included
What pulls it down
- Missing guards, a serious safety issue
- Motors clogged with metal dust
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.
- Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, disc diameter and wattage or battery voltage
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
