Used Milwaukee tools and DIY gear typically sell for $23 to $279 (about £17 to £207) 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 Milwaukee tools and DIY gear
Milwaukee runs two cordless platforms in parallel, a compact one and a full-size one, and they do not share batteries. Its tools also carry electronics that communicate with the pack, so a third-party battery may fit physically and still not run the tool properly.
- Full-size cordless tools do the heavy lifting here, going to trades who already run the matching packs
- Compact platform tools sell to a different buyer entirely and should never be listed as though the two ranges interchange
What to check before you buy
State which of the two platforms the tool uses and whether packs are included. The numbers in the range names refer to voltage, and a buyer scanning quickly will assume the larger one unless you are explicit.
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 $151 Milwaukee tool, a marketplace charging 20% takes $30, one charging 13.6% takes $21 and one charging 10% takes $15. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $151.
Listing your Milwaukee tools and DIY gear
- Open the case and photograph the full layout so completeness is shown rather than claimed
- 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

Questions
Do the two cordless platforms share batteries?
No. They are separate voltages with separate battery interfaces, aimed at different work. A tool from one will not run on a pack from the other under any circumstances, so name the platform in your listing title rather than only in the description.
