Condition

Check the condition of your power tools before you bring them into a shop. Wash up your tools and make sure there’s not any rust or goo stuck on it. Most of the time a tool that looks rough can look better with just a quick wash. If your tool has scratches or tears on it, it will most likely bring the price down. Pawnshops make their money by reselling items that are sold to them. If they feel like they won’t be able to make a profit off of your tools, they won’t be buying it for too much money.

Model/ Year

The year that the tool was made and the model it is will definitely determine if you will get more or less money for your tool. Older tools will most likely be worth less. However, if it is in brand new condition barely used you may still be able to sell it at a good cost.
