Are used power tools safe to swap?

Check the cable, plug, and safety guards are intact and that it powers on and runs properly before listing. For anything with a blade (saws, strimmers), mention the condition of the blade too, since that's the part most likely to need replacing.

Do hand tools need to be cleaned or sharpened before swapping?

Not essential, but rust removal and a quick sharpen make a real difference to how usable the other person finds it on day one — mention if a tool needs sharpening rather than presenting it as ready to use.

Is it safe to swap electrical testing equipment?

Yes, but confirm it's been used correctly and isn't damaged — for anything safety-critical like socket testers, be upfront if you're not certain it's still accurate, since the other person may be relying on it.

How do I swap plants, seeds, or bulbs successfully?

Time the swap to the growing season (seeds and bulbs go fastest just before planting time), and for live plants, arrange same-day or next-day collection so they're not sitting in a bag for a week.
