Is the battery the real price?

With cordless kit, a bare tool and a tool with two healthy batteries are very different deals. Ask the battery’s capacity in Ah and how old it is, and whether it still holds a charge. When you meet, run the tool for a while, listen to the bearings, smell the motor and check the brushes on brushed models.

For a compressor, generator or concrete mixer, ask the seller to start it in front of you and let it run. If they cannot show it working, slow down.

Workshop clear-outs in France go to the first caller

Some of the best tool ads on leboncoin come from a retiring electrician, a family emptying a garage, or someone who finished renovating a house in the Dordogne and no longer needs the scaffold tower. They price to sell this weekend and usually take whoever offers a concrete pick-up time first.

A card in Telegram while you are on a coffee break is often enough to be that person. Reply with a day, a time and how you will carry it away; a seller with a garage full of kit wants certainty more than haggling.

Sticking to one battery platform pays off

If you already own batteries from one brand, follow that brand and voltage. Bare tools sold without a battery are often cheaper and slot straight into your kit. A plain search for „outil“ would bury you in screwdrivers.

Questions that guard against stolen site gear

Professional tools do get stolen and resold. Ask for the receipt or where the tool came from, and check the serial plate is intact. A near-new pro set at a giveaway price with no story deserves one more question.

Meet in daylight, pay on handover and never send a deposit to someone you have not met.
