About this category
Tools & construction in Estonia: power tools, hand tools, building materials, plumbing, electrical and heating equipment, doors and windows. Buy leftover materials for less, find tools for your renovation and sell what you no longer use.
For renovations big and small
Whether you’re renovating a flat or building a house in Estonia, here you’ll find power tools and hand tools, building & finishing materials, plumbing, electrical supplies, heating & ventilation equipment, and doors & windows. Smaller but essential things live in fasteners & consumables and measuring tools, while welding equipment, ladders & scaffolding and workwear & protective equipment round out the section.
It’s a good place for leftovers: half a pallet of tiles, a few rolls of insulation or a box of screws after someone finished a job. Filter tools by “Tool type” and “Brand”, materials, doors and windows by “Material”, “Width” and “Height”, radiators and heaters by “Heating type” and “Mounting type”, and workwear by “Clothing size” or “Shoe size”.
Checking tools and materials
Test power tools under load at the meeting, not just idling: drill into a piece of wood, run the saw, charge the battery. Ask how many batteries and chargers come with a cordless tool and how old they are — batteries wear out. Check cables for damage, chucks for wobble and look for signs of overheating such as a burnt smell.
With materials, ask for the exact product name, batch and quantity, especially for tiles, laminate and paint, where a second batch may not match the first. Check that packs are unopened and haven’t been stored in the damp. For doors and windows, measure the opening yourself and compare it with the “Width” and “Height” in the listing before you go.
Sell tools and leftovers faster
Photograph the tool with everything that comes with it: batteries, charger, case, blades, manual. Put the brand and model in the title — tradespeople often search by them — and fill in “Tool type”, “Brand” and “Purpose”. Say how much it was used: a drill that did one renovation is a different offer from one that worked on sites for years.
For materials, give the exact quantity, dimensions, colour or batch, and whether packs are opened; a photo of the label saves a lot of questions. Heavy items need a clear pickup offer — say whether a van is needed and if you can help load. Bits, fasteners and other small items can go by parcel locker or post. Posting is free, with no limit on listings.
Safe deals on tools
Meet in daylight, preferably where the tool can be plugged in and tested. Pay the seller directly, in cash or by transfer, and keep the conversation in the Nordo chat. Very cheap branded tools from a stranger may be stolen or fake — ask for a receipt, and if something doesn’t add up, use the “Report” button. Counterfeits aren’t allowed on Nordo.
Need a tool for one weekend rather than for good? Look at equipment rental in the Services section, where providers set out the rental period, deposit and delivery terms.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check a used power tool?
Test it under load: drill, cut or sand a piece of material at the meeting. Check the cable, plug and housing, listen for unusual noise and notice any burning smell. For cordless tools, ask how old the batteries are and charge one during the viewing if you can. Ask for the receipt if the seller has it.
Can I sell leftover building materials?
Yes, building & finishing materials is the right place. State the exact product, quantity, dimensions and batch, and add a photo of the label. Say whether packs are opened and how the buyer can collect heavy items.
How do I avoid buying stolen tools?
Be cautious when an expensive branded tool is offered far below similar listings and the seller can’t say where it came from. Ask for the receipt or the original case and meet in person. If a listing looks suspicious, use “Report” — listings are checked before publication, and every report is reviewed.
Can I find workwear and safety gear here?
Yes. Workwear & protective equipment has its own subsection with “Clothing size” and “Shoe size” filters. Check soles, zips and reflective strips, and ask whether protective items have ever been damaged. Small items can be sent by parcel locker or post if the seller offers it.
How do I find tools near me?
Set your city and a search radius, then sort by distance to see the nearest offers first. Use “Tool type” and “Brand” to narrow down, and save the search — you’ll get a notification on the site and in the app every time a matching tool is listed.
