Used angle grinders in Akron typically sell for $27 to $160. Grinders lead a hard life, so buyers assume heavy use and check the guard, bearings and switch.
Selling an angle grinder in Akron
Industrial decline left serious workshop tooling in private hands, and the university clears student housing each May. Basement storage is the norm in the older housing, so check upholstery and paper-backed goods for damp before travelling for them.
The city sits in a valley and several of the older residential streets climb steeply, so check the approach before committing a van to anything heavy. Snow arrives heavily in winter, so agree a fallback for anything scheduled in the colder months.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check for rust and for splitting on glued joints. Freeze-thaw here is severe and works on everything left outside a heated space.
Akron, in Ohio, has around 189,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Akron
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

What angle grinders are worth
What lifts the price
- Guards present and adjustable
- Recognised trade brands
What pulls it down
- Missing guards, a serious safety issue
- Spindle wobble from worn bearings
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the guard is present and adjusts
- 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
- Brand, model, disc diameter and wattage or battery voltage
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.
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.

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.
