Used tool sets in Dhanbad typically sell for ₹900 to ₹8,500 (about $9 to $89). Hand tools barely wear out, so a complete set from a decent maker holds value for decades.
Selling a tool set in Dhanbad
Dhanbad is the centre of India’s coal industry and the second-hand market here is overwhelmingly practical. Tools, machinery and durable household goods sell; the market for anything decorative is thin. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The colliery townships have their own gates and their own security, and several are a real drive out from the city proper, so establish which township before agreeing anything. Company quarters generally need the seller to sign a visitor in at the gate rather than simply give out a house number.
Coal dust gets into everything. On anything with a motor, a filter or a bearing, ask how it was stored and expect to clean it thoroughly whatever the answer.
Dhanbad, in Jharkhand, has around 1.2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Mumbai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dhanbad
India Post, Delhivery and DTDC all offer nationwide coverage, and courier cost varies sharply between metros and smaller towns.

Company quarters generally need the seller to sign a visitor in at the gate rather than simply give out a house number.
Is it complete?
