I regularly see secondhand mechanical-workshop stuff like hammer-drills/trolley-jacks/axle-stands/pillar-drills/compressors selling on various physical and online-auction-sites for significantly more than the same model - new with 2-years guarantee - would cost at your local Machine-mart/Screwfix/Toolstation.
