Category-specific checks

Buying new versus used
New equipment usually offers current instructions, warranty support and complete parts. Used equipment can be excellent value when the exact model is identified and wear, rust, missing parts and obsolescence are priced honestly.
Compatibility and documentation
Record model, standard, bushings, tool heads, power requirements, mounting pattern and manufacturer part numbers. Keep the manual with the equipment.
