Buying tools & DIY in Montgomery
Montgomery is the state capital and a city central to the civil rights movement — the bus boycott began here and several sites are now memorials. It has a substantial air force presence and sits on the river in the middle of the state.
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
Put a battery on charge and come back to it, because a pack that reaches full in moments has lost most of its capacity. Look at the brushes and vents for dust packed solid, which is what kills a motor that has been used on site.
Collecting it in Montgomery
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.
Base access is managed, so arrange meetings off it. Getting across town by car is quick and there is room to park, so bulky items are no trouble.

Air force postings move complete households on fixed cycles, and state government employment adds a slower transfer rhythm. Both produce complete sets rather than single items.
Say the age, whether it has been used domestically or on site, and how many batteries and chargers are included. Have it plugged in and ready to run when the buyer arrives, because that one gesture removes most of the haggling. Busiest through spring and summer, when outdoor and building work picks up.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
