Every tool that enters the shop is inspected, then scored for aesthetics and functionality out of 10. Listings show one letter from that average. Open a product for the /10 breakdown.
Average above 9. Looks and runs like it just left the factory.
Light marks, solid under load. A 9 and an 8 average here.
Obvious use, still a runner. The letter is the average, not the worse score.
Heavier cosmetics or more play. Functionality still has to make the floor.
How it looks. Housing, rust, paint, missing covers. Independent of whether it runs.
How it works under load. Heat, noise, play, power. Independent of cosmetics.
Every tool is logged, photographed, and tagged when it arrives in the shop.
We run the tool under load — checking for heat, noise, play, and any unusual behaviour.
Cosmetic condition is assessed separately from function. Each gets its own /10.
The storefront averages those two scores into one letter on the listing. The /10s stay on the product page.
A tech scores aesthetics and functionality out of 10. We average those two numbers. 9 and 8 is 8.5 — that listing shows A.
The letter is for scanning the shop. Open a product for TYPE (Used or New), the letter, and the two /10s so a strong runner with heavy cosmetics is not hidden.
No. Functionality below a working tool doesn't make the shop floor. A 5/10 aesthetics score can still be a 10/10 runner.
By a tech in the shop, not an algorithm. Every tool is handled, powered on, and assessed in person. Staff enter two /10s. The letter is only on the storefront.
