Used cordless drills in Mackay typically sell for A$57 to A$345 (about $40 to $240). On a cordless drill you are really selling the battery platform, so state the voltage, the battery capacity and how many batteries are included before anything else.
Selling a cordless drill in Mackay
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What cordless drills are worth
What lifts the price
- Batteries holding a full charge on a current platform
- Brushless motors, which last far longer
What pulls it down
- Worn chucks that no longer grip bits securely
- Bare tools with no battery or charger
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge each battery fully and test under load
- Confirm which battery platform it belongs to
Getting it ready
- Note the battery platform, voltage and the amp-hour rating of each battery.
- Charge every battery fully and test how long each holds under load. Degraded batteries are the main reason used cordless tools are cheap.
