Used power drills in Ajax typically sell for C$47 to C$285 (about $34 to $200). Corded drills barely wear out, so yours sells on completeness and whether the chuck still grips — both easy to demonstrate and rarely mentioned.
Selling a power drill in Ajax
Ajax was built during the Second World War around a munitions plant and named after a warship, which is why its street names run to naval history. It is now a lakeshore commuter town with a diverse and relatively young population and a long waterfront trail.
The commuter rail station and the waterfront are the easy meeting points. Driving is straightforward everywhere in town and parking is rarely a problem outside the summer waterfront peak.
Ask whether the item has been near the lake air over a winter. Salt from winter road treatment plus lake damp is hard on metal fittings, and it works from the underside where nobody photographs.
Ajax, in Ontario, has around 130,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
