Why King Cash

Serving Long Island since 1996. Over 26 years of evaluating power tools, contractor equipment, and valuables for local customers. That history means we know what your tools are worth on the current resale market.

Two licensed Suffolk County storefronts. We are a licensed New York pawnbroker, licensed collateral loan broker, licensed secondhand dealer, and licensed secondhand dealer. You walk into a real, regulated local business — not an app, not a mail-in service, not a stranger from an online listing.

No credit check. You decide. Your pawn loan is based on the value of your tools, not your credit score. After a free appraisal, you can pawn, sell, or walk away — no pressure either way.

The Top 5 Tools to Pawn for Quick Money in Long Island

Not every tool category evaluates the same way. Here are the five types of equipment we see most often — and what we review in each appraisal.

1. Drills and Impact Drivers

Bring in your drill or impact driver and we test it on the spot. Cordless platforms from DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita are among the brands we regularly evaluate. Hilti and Snap-on tools are also accepted.

Batteries affect your offer. A drill body without a battery presents a less complete package for evaluation. Bring your battery, charger, and case if you have them — it gives us the most complete picture and supports a stronger number.

2. Circular Saws and Miter Saws

Bring in your circular or miter saw and we’ll test it on the spot. We review brand, model, blade condition, and any included accessories. For cordless models, having a compatible, working battery with the saw strengthens the evaluation the same way it does with drills.

Brand and model matter: we evaluate tools from DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, Ridgid, and other accepted brands. If you have the original case or extra blades, bring them.

3. Nail Guns

Nail guns — framing nailers, finish nailers, roofing nailers, cordless or pneumatic — are evaluated based on brand, working condition, model, and what’s included. Cordless nailers from DeWalt and Milwaukee are among the brands we accept. Pneumatic nailers are reviewed on condition and whether the tip and jam-clear mechanism function properly.

If you have the original case and any extra fittings, bring them. It rounds out the evaluation.

4. Air Compressors and Generators

Air compressors and generators are among the larger-ticket items we evaluate for pawn loans or cash offers. For generators, brands like Honda and Generac are among those we accept. For compressors, we check tank size, working condition, brand, age, and fittings.

Bring the unit ready to run if possible — in-store testing is part of how we arrive at a fair offer.

5. Landscaping and Outdoor Power Equipment

Commercial-grade outdoor equipment from Stihl, Husqvarna, and Echo — chain saws, blowers, trimmers, and similar tools — can be evaluated in-store. We review brand, model, working condition, age, and any included accessories.

If you have the bar cover, extra chain, or original case, bring it along.

What to Bring — and What to Know Before You Come In

Walking in prepared helps the evaluation go faster and supports a stronger offer.

Bring the tool ready to test. We may test tools in-store before making an offer. A tool that runs presents a more complete picture than one we cannot verify.

Bring batteries, chargers, and accessories. For cordless tools, a working battery from the same platform, plus a charger and case, all factor into resale value.

Bring a valid photo ID. A photo ID is required for pawn and purchase transactions.

Bring original boxes or paperwork if you have them. Original boxes, receipts, or documentation can support the evaluation — though they are not required.

You do not have to commit before you hear the offer. Come in, get the free appraisal, hear the number, and then decide. You can pawn, sell, or walk away. There is no obligation.

Not sure if your tools are worth bringing in? Call (631) 991-8866 — we offer immediate phone-based appraisals at no charge so you have a realistic idea before you make the trip.

Same-Day Cash for Tools in Long Island

King Cash provides same-day cash offers for eligible power tools and contractor equipment. Walk in during business hours, get your free appraisal, and — if the item qualifies — leave with cash the same day.

Lindenhurst (47 Sunrise Hwy): Monday–Friday 9:30 AM–7:00 PM, Sunday 9:30 AM–4:00 PM. Closed Saturday.

Huntington (826 New York Ave): Monday–Friday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, Sunday 11:00 AM–4:00 PM. Closed Saturday.

Both locations accept credit cards and debit cards.

Pawn or Sell — Your Call

You have two options when you bring tools to King Cash, and neither requires a credit check.

Pawn your tools for a short-term cash loan. We hold your tools securely while the loan is active. You can choose a 30-day loan or a long-term option of up to 4 months. Interest is explained upfront and in writing before you agree to anything. Loans range from $1 to $50,000. As long as you meet the loan terms, you retain ownership and can reclaim your tools.

Sell your tools outright for immediate cash. If you’re not planning to use them again and want a clean, straightforward transaction, selling may be the better fit.

Not sure which makes more sense? Come in, hear the offer, and decide then.

Safety Advisory

Do not disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair power tools before bringing them in. Bring tools as-is — in the condition you last used them. If a tool is damaged, missing parts, or not functioning, let us know when you call so we can advise you before you make the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What power tool brands do you accept?
We evaluate tools from brands including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Hilti, Bosch, Ridgid, Ryobi, Snap-on, Klein, Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, and others. Bring your tools in and we will evaluate them.

Do I need a credit check to get a pawn loan on my tools?
No. The loan is secured by the value of your tools. Your credit history and credit score are not part of the process — there is no bank application and no impact on your credit.

Can I pawn tools without batteries or chargers?
Some tools may still be considered. That said, if batteries, chargers, cases, or accessories are missing, the evaluation reflects what we can verify and resell. Bringing everything you have gives us the most complete picture.

How long is a pawn loan on tools?
You can choose a short-term 30-day loan or a long-term loan of up to 4 months. Repayment terms — including interest — are explained clearly and in writing before the loan is completed. If you meet the terms, you get your tools back.

Can I get a tool appraisal over the phone before coming in?
Yes. We offer immediate phone-based appraisals at no charge. Call (631) 991-8866 before your visit if you want a realistic sense of what your tools may be worth before making the trip.

Do you test tools before making an offer?
Yes. Tool loans and purchases may require in-store testing before an offer is made. Bring tools ready for inspection — charged batteries in, cords attached — when possible.

Can I sell my tools instead of pawning them?
Yes. After you hear the offer, you decide: pawn for a short-term loan with the option to reclaim your tools, or sell outright for immediate cash with no repayment. If you are not planning to use the tools again, selling is straightforward. If you want them back later, pawning may be the better fit.

Is the appraisal really free?
Yes. Free in-store appraisals are available before you decide whether to pawn, sell, or walk away. Walk-in evaluations are available for most items during regular business hours — no appointment needed.
