Used angle grinders in Bristol typically sell for £20 to £120 (about $27 to $160). Angle grinders are cheap, common and genuinely dangerous, so the guard is the whole story — never sell one with the guard removed, however common that is.
Selling an angle grinder in Bristol
Two large universities give the usual summer turnover, and the concentration of house-shares across the north of the city means furniture and kitchen kit moves between households constantly rather than only in June.
The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Bristol, in England, has around 470,000 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. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bristol
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.
What angle grinders are worth
What lifts the price
- Guards present and adjustable
- Side handle and spanner included
What pulls it down
- Spindle wobble from worn bearings
- Motors clogged with metal dust
Working out what yours is worth
- Spin the spindle by hand feeling for play
- Test the switch releases cleanly
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.
- Note the disc size and gather the spanner, side handle and any spare discs.

Put in the description
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
- Cable and plug condition
Remove any fitted disc before transport or posting. Box it with the guard secured, and include the spanner — changing a disc without it is awkward.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell an angle grinder in Bristol?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
What disc size does it take?
State the diameter. Discs are consumables the buyer already owns in a particular size, and the wrong size makes the tool useless to them.
How much is an angle grinder worth in Bristol?
