Built for people who own more batteries than shoes
Every listing in DealBench is scored, benchmarked and filtered before it reaches you — so the feed stays short and the alerts stay worth opening.
The Deal Gauge
Our signature 0–100 score reads how far the ask sits below comparable listings, plus what the photos say about condition and what's included. One glance tells you steal, strong, or skip.
Live market benchmarks
We take the median of what the same model is selling for right now, so a 'sale' that isn't one gets called out instantly. No comparable found? We say so instead of inventing a discount.
Email & in-app snipes
Set your tool, your brand and your ceiling price. We check for matches every 15 minutes and alert you as soon as a listing crosses it.
Multi-source monitoring
Craigslist is live today, with eBay and big-box retail rolling out next — all in one feed built for tools.
What the AI actually catches
Every listing photo is inspected before it hits your feed — condition, what's in the box, and whether the photo is even real. Included with Pro Grade.
Condition grade
DeWalt DCD996 hammer drill — “barely used”
Chuck jaws are scuffed and the housing shows paint transfer — closer to a jobsite tool than the “barely used” description.
What's actually in the box
Makita XT505 5-tool combo kit — $260
Two 5.0Ah batteries, charger and hard case are visible in the photo, so the real price per tool is far better than a bare-tool listing at the same number.
Stock photo flag
Milwaukee M18 Fuel circular saw — “like new”
The image is the manufacturer's catalog render, not the item — treat the condition claim as unverified and ask the seller for real photos.
What the Deal Gauge shows Pro members
Free members see the gauge label. Pro Grade shows the exact discount, the street price it's measured against, and the comparables behind the grade.
Exact discount
Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact driver — $171
Free sees "Steal"
Pro sees −48% off a $329 street price
The gauge label tells you it's good; the percentage tells you how good, so you know whether to drive out tonight or keep scrolling.
Street price and dollars saved
DeWalt DCS391 circular saw — $89
Free sees the asking price only
Pro sees $147 crossed out and Save $58
Real dollars beat percentages when you're negotiating — you walk up knowing exactly how much room is in the ask.
How the benchmark was built
Ryobi 10" table saw — $145
Free sees a gauge with no sourcing
Pro sees the comparable sold listings behind it
You can audit the grade instead of trusting it — and see when a benchmark rests on only a handful of sales.
