Used cordless drills in Sydney 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 Sydney
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Sydney has around 5.3 million people in New South Wales, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What cordless drills are worth
What lifts the price
- Brushless motors, which last far longer
- Recognised trade brands with wide battery compatibility
What pulls it down
- Discontinued battery platforms with no replacements
- Bare tools with no battery or charger
Working out what yours is worth
- Tighten a bit and check the chuck holds without slipping
- Confirm which battery platform it belongs to
Getting it ready
- Charge every battery fully and test how long each holds under load. Degraded batteries are the main reason used cordless tools are cheap.
- Test the chuck, both speed settings, the clutch and the charger.

Put in the description
- How many batteries, their amp-hour rating and their tested condition
- Chuck size, clutch settings, and whether the case and bits are included
Steady all year with a spring lift. Trade-brand tools with healthy batteries sell within days; tools with tired batteries need honest pricing.
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.
