Second-hand tools & DIY in Devonport typically sells for A$29 to A$960 (about $20 to $675). A full kit in its case with every accessory is worth considerably more than the bare tool, since replacing the pieces separately is expensive. Anything that has been on a building site has done far more hours than the same age suggests at home.

Buying tools & DIY in Devonport
Devonport is where the ferry from the mainland docks, which makes a town of this size a genuine gateway, and it sits in the middle of one of the most productive vegetable-growing districts in the country. Caravans and vehicles come off that ferry constantly.
Trade tools change hands within a district more than through any listing, and the good ones rarely travel far before somebody local takes them. Being nearby is most of what gets you to a well-kept set before anyone else does.
What to check in person
Run anything with a motor for a few seconds and listen for bearing noise or a burning smell. Check the cable along its whole length for nicks and repairs, look at the chuck or blade mount for play, and ask whether the battery still holds charge.
Collecting it in Devonport
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The town is small and driving is easy. The ferry timetable shapes the traffic through town more than anything else, so it is worth avoiding the hour either side of a sailing if you are collecting something large.
Selling your tools & DIY in Devonport free
Touring travellers sell up at the end of a trip rather than shipping things home, which puts camping and vehicle equipment onto the market here disproportionately. Agricultural work adds its own seasonal population on top.
Say the age, whether it has been used domestically or on site, and how many batteries and chargers are included. Have it plugged in and ready to run when the buyer arrives, because that one gesture removes most of the haggling. Busiest through spring and summer, when outdoor and building work picks up.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
