Ryobi Angle Grinders Resale Value

A used Ryobi angle grinder is typically worth £21 to £126 (approximately $28 to $168), against £20 to £120 for angle grinders generally. Ryobi’s whole proposition is one battery platform that has stayed compatible for years, which makes the batteries rather than the tools the thing worth buying used.

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across Ryobi

Healthy batteries on the long-running platform, which fit tools going back many years and are what most buyers actually need
Garden machinery, where cordless mowers and trimmers are expensive new and sell well
Complete kits with charger and case, which sell far more readily than bare tools
Less common specialist tools on the same battery system, which are hard to find used

What pulls Ryobi resale value down

Tired batteries, which is the standard deduction and cannot be judged from a photograph
Brushed motors on tools that also exist in brushless versions, since buyers who know the range prefer the latter
Sun-faded and brittle plastic housings on tools stored outdoors
Missing chargers, which are inexpensive but make a kit incomplete

Identifying and dating yours

The model number on the nameplate confirms which battery platform the tool takes
Photograph the battery label showing the amp-hour rating, and press the charge gauge if it has one
Say whether the tool is brushed or brushless, as it is printed on the housing and changes the price

What lifts any angle grinder, whatever the label

Grinders lead a hard life, so buyers assume heavy use and check the guard, bearings and switch.

Guards present and adjustable
Smooth bearings with no wobble at the spindle
Recognised trade brands
Side handle and spanner included

And what pulls one down

Missing guards, a serious safety issue
Spindle wobble from worn bearings
Failing switches that stick on
Motors clogged with metal dust

Working out what yours is worth

Spin the spindle by hand feeling for play
Confirm the guard is present and adjusts
Test the switch releases cleanly

What to state in the listing

Brand, model, disc diameter and wattage or battery voltage
Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
Bearing condition and whether it runs smoothly
Cable and plug condition

Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.

Preparing and photographing it

Fit the guard if it has been removed and confirm it locks in position. A grinder without a guard should not be sold for use.
Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.
Note the disc size and gather the spanner, side handle and any spare discs.

The spindle, flange and guard mounting
The cable and plug, and the rating plate
The side handle, spanner and accessories, plus any crack or damage

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a spring lift. Trade brands sell within days; older unbranded grinders compete on price and are plentiful.

Remove any fitted disc before transport or posting. Box it with the guard secured, and include the spanner — changing a disc without it is awkward.

What buyers ask

Do old and new batteries fit the same tools?

On this platform the battery system has stayed compatible for many years, which is its main selling point. Quote the model so buyers can confirm.

Is a bare tool worth listing?

Yes, because many buyers already own batteries. Say clearly that no battery or charger is included and price it accordingly.

How much is a Ryobi angle grinder worth?

Roughly £21 to £126 depending on condition, against £20 to £120 for angle grinders generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
