Used power drills in Hamilton typically sell for C$47 to C$285 (about $34 to $200). Corded drills are simple, durable and cheap second hand, so condition of the chuck and cable decides the price.
Selling a power drill in Hamilton
Hamilton has a steel and manufacturing history and has absorbed a great deal of movement out of Toronto in search of cheaper housing. Tools and workshop equipment have a genuine local market, and the older housing stock means full-size furniture fits. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
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.

Brand, type and power: “Makita 750W Corded Hammer Drill with Case”. Wattage is a real search term for corded tools. Say whether it has hammer action and whether the case and side handle are included, since those affect the price more than people expect.
