Used Tool Restoration or Resale Decider

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A single-page decision helper that walks you through tool type, brand, rust level, and damage, then shows restoration difficulty, likely resale value, and next steps. Pick your tool type, enter the brand if known, set rust and damage levels, then review the verdict.

Save it, copy the result, or print it for your workshop wall. Stops you from spending weekends cleaning tools worth two dollars, and keeps useful tools out of the trash.

What if I do not know the brand? Leave it blank.
