Second hand bike tools across the UK

Buying a second hand bike tool

Every used bike tool on Shift is sold directly by its owner - there is no dealer margin, listing is free, and Shift takes no commission.

As a rough guide, prices for used bike tools in the UK tend to fall somewhere between £20 and £120 depending on age, spec and condition - actual asking prices vary, so compare a few listings.

What to check before you buy

Workshop tools hold their value and used ones from good brands are a bargain. Check that torque wrenches still click at the set value, that chain tools and cassette lock-ring tools are not rounded, and that a work stand clamps and adjusts without slop. Confirm the tool fits the standard you need - bottom bracket sockets, cassette lock-rings and pedal spanners come in several sizes - and ask whether a set is complete.
