Used Festool tools and DIY gear typically sell for $38 to $375 (about £28 to £279) depending on the tool and its condition. Used tools are bought for work rather than for looks, and the whole market runs on battery platforms. A cordless tool on a dead or obsolete platform is worth a fraction of the same tool with a healthy pack, which is why corded tools frequently outsell their cordless equivalents second hand.

Battery platform and voltage on Festool tools and DIY gear
Festool prices well above the rest of the category and builds its range around stackable cases and a dust extraction system that connects across the tools. The case is part of the product rather than packaging, and a tool sold without it loses more value than the case cost.
- Cordless and corded saws lead the demand, going to cabinetmakers rather than to general trades
- Sanders hold value unusually well because the dust extraction is the reason people buy into this system at all
- Drills sell more slowly than the rest of the range, since rivals cover the same job for considerably less money
What to check before you buy
Include the case and the hose fittings, and say so. This system’s value rests on the parts connecting to each other, so a tool arriving without its case and adapters is worth noticeably less than the same tool complete.
For the checks that apply to any used tools and DIY gear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used tools and DIY gear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $206 Festool tool, a marketplace charging 20% takes $41, one charging 13.6% takes $28 and one charging 10% takes $21. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $206.
Listing your Festool tools and DIY gear
- List in spring for garden power tools. Seasonality is stronger here than in almost any other category and the same mower is worth noticeably more in April
- Charge the battery fully and report honestly how long it held under load. That one sentence is worth more than any photograph in this category

Questions
Why does the case matter so much on these tools?
Because the cases stack, latch together and are designed to be carried and stored as a system, so buyers on this platform expect one and price accordingly. A bare tool is still sellable, but list it as bare and expect a meaningful discount against a cased example.
Does a premium tool warranty transfer to a used buyer?
Generally not. Extended cover on this kind of tool is tied to the original purchaser and the registration they made, so it ends when the tool is sold. Never imply a used tool still carries it; describe the tool’s condition and hours instead.
How much is used Festool tools and DIY gear worth?
