Second-hand tools & DIY in Sutton Coldfield typically sells for £15 to £500 (about $20 to $675).

Buying tools & DIY in Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield is an affluent town absorbed into a much larger city but retaining its own identity, with one of the largest urban parks in Europe on its doorstep. The housing is substantial and largely owner-occupied.
Battery platforms do not interchange between makers, and a tool that will not take the packs somebody already owns is worth far less to them. Bringing a battery along to try settles compatibility in seconds.
What to check in person
Run anything with a motor for a few seconds and listen for bearing noise or a burning smell. Check the cable along its whole length for nicks and repairs, look at the chuck or blade mount for play, and ask whether the battery still holds charge.
Collecting it in Sutton Coldfield
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Driving is easy and parking is straightforward, so anything large is simple. The park and the town centre are the landmarks everyone knows.
