Buying tools & DIY in Wichita
Wichita is the aviation manufacturing capital of the country — general aviation aircraft have been built here for a century and several major manufacturers still are. It sits on the plains with a university in the city and grain country in every direction.
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. Locally, tool sets are one of the few things that move reliably enough to be worth listing on their own.
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 Wichita
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.
The city is flat and laid out on a grid, so addresses are easy to find and parking is rarely a constraint. Driving is assumed and collecting something large is straightforward here.

Aviation employment moves on order cycles that take whole households with them, and the university clears student housing each May. Aerospace-grade hand tools circulate here more than in most cities.
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.
