Used Woodworking Tools

There's no doubt about it -- new tools can be expensive. If you are new to the world of woodworking and need to stock your workshop, you may feel overwhelmed at the prospect. You might think it is just too expensive to get the tools you need or want. This may be the case for you if you plan to buy brand new tools. However, you can often save a substantial amount of money by purchasing used woodworking tools. They are usually just as good as new ones but available for a much cheaper price. There are a variety of ways to locate used tools.


Check your local newspaper classifieds or pennysaver ads to see if anyone is selling their old tools. Often amateur woodworkers will list their old tools for sale when they are ready to upgrade. Or, they may need to raise money and have old tools they haven't used in a long time. Either way, this can add up to big savings for you. If there are no listings for tools you need, don't despair. The answer just might be a click away. Craigslist is an online classifieds ad site that is very similar to your local newspaper classifieds section but much bigger.

On Craigslist, you can search for most anything including used tools. Usually transactions on Craigslist are done face to face, although sometimes the seller will ship the item to the buyer. Because tools and machinery can be heavy, picking up the items in person is recommended. You can find sellers in your local area easily as Craigslist is arranged by city and state. Another place to track down used tools is Ebay. Lots of people buy and sell all kinds of tools on Ebay. You can find great bargains on Ebay, just make sure you deal with a reputable seller with a positive feedback rating.

Used woodworking tools usually do not come with a warranty plan. This is one drawback to buying used. However if you know what to look for when it comes to tools and machinery you should be able to tell which items are of high quality and which aren't. While you may want to invest in brand new tools later on, used tools can give you a good start on establishing your woodworking shop. To learn more about the tools you will need, check out a book like Woodworking Tools and Techniques by Creative Publishing.
