Used power drills in Oakville 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 Oakville
Oakville sits on the lakeshore between the two larger cities either side of it and is one of the wealthier municipalities in the country, with an old harbour town at its centre and a great deal of newer housing around it. What comes onto the market here tends to be better than the average and to be sold because it has been replaced rather than worn out.
The lakeshore road and the old town centre are the obvious meeting points and parking there is manageable outside summer weekends. Anything large is a straightforward drive; this is not a city where access is the problem.
On designer items, ask for the original receipt or proof of purchase rather than relying on the listing. WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so what the seller can actually show you is the whole of your evidence.
Oakville, in Ontario, has around 215,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Oakville
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Brand, type and power: “Makita 750W Corded Hammer Drill with Case”. Wattage is a real search term for corded tools. Say whether it has hammer action and whether the case and side handle are included, since those affect the price more than people expect.
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.
