Buying cheap doesn't have to mean buying poor quality. Here's how to find good deals on cheap power tools that do the job right.
Before you start shopping, find out what the most reputable brands are for the type of power tool you need. Top brands are popular for a reason. The better the brand, the better the chance that buying them cheap (used or refurbished) will result in a good, working power equipment.
Industrial Power Tools
Keep in mind that some cheap power equipment may turn out to be costly in the long run. Do they have expensive replacement parts? If a replacement saw blade is going to cost about as much as the used power saw, then your purchase isn't really going to be cheap at all. always ask about the warranty, and if it covers replacement parts.
You can find cheap tools on classified sites and in the paper. Before you buy, ask the seller if you can come over and test the tool out first. Don't just turn it on, actually use it. Bring a list of questions, including how long he has owned the tool, what he used it for, and why he is selling it. Remember that you're not going to get a refund on this purchase, so be diligent and make sure what you are getting is worth paying for.
Also, browse around pawn shops. They can be great sources for cheap power equipment, and generally you can be sure that the tool works or the shop wouldn't buy it. Ask about guarantees, and remember that the price is negotiable, so don't be afraid to haggle a little.
Online, you can find a lot of retail sites that offer great deals on new power equipment. Check out a few, sign up for a few newsletters, and see what sort of offers, deals and coupons they come out with. See how their shipping rates are...cheap power tools that have massive shipping charges may end up costing you the same as if you'd driven to the store yourself.
Many sites offer refurbished tools, and these are a safe bet because they have been thoroughly tested by people who know what they are doing. You will also get a warranty, though not as extensive as if you were buying brand new. Still, refurbished equipment is probably the safest source for cheap power tools as you can get a refund or replacement if your tool does not perform as advertised.
