Built for people who own more batteries than shoes
We check every listing before you see it: what the tool really sells for, what the photos show, and whether it's junk. You get a short feed and alerts worth opening.
The Deal Gauge
A 0–100 score on every listing. It compares the asking price to what the same tool is selling for, and factors in condition and what's included. One look tells you steal, strong or skip.
Real market prices
We check what the same model is actually selling for right now, so a fake sale price gets called out. If we can't find enough comparable listings, we say so instead of guessing.
Snipes: your price alerts
A Snipe is a price alert for one tool. Pick the tool, the brand and your max price. We check for matches every 15 minutes and email you as soon as one shows up.
Every marketplace in one feed
We watch eBay, Craigslist, Amazon and our retail partners so you don't have to open five tabs. Everything lands in one feed built for tools.
What the AI catches in a listing photo
We read the photos before the listing reaches you: real condition, what's actually included, and whether the seller used a stock photo. 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.
Free vs Pro Grade, in one line
Free shows the label — steal, strong or fair. Pro Grade shows the math: the exact discount, the price it's measured against, and the listings we compared it to.
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 listings the benchmark was built from
You can audit the grade instead of trusting it — and see when a benchmark rests on only a handful of comparables. Where we can't build a comp set, we show no rating at all rather than a seller's claimed list price.
