Trading In Old Tools For New


Anyone know of a place in North Jersey that you can trade in old tools or sell cheap. I have some mint condition power tools that I simply dont use anymore or have phased out due to a more efficent tool. Guns, drills whatever. I need to update some other tools if I could un load some stuff it would soften the expense.

Re: Trading In Old Tools For New


Brought this conversation up with someone and they mentioned "cash converters". I went to one close by and they have every possible power tool from jack hammers to compressors in every brand and condition. Some are cherry some are beaten to a pulp. I couldnt believe it. The place offers a buy sell or store credit and warranties every tool for 30 days. Some tools are still in the case with cardbard display. I have a Dewalt 1/2" cordless hammer drill I paid almost 300 for they had for 170 with case and everything. For rare occassion tools its a deal.
