About Tool Pile
The work-focused marketplace for equipment and tools
What is Tool Pile?
Tool Pile is a local marketplace connecting professionals, contractors, and handy individuals across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Whether you're buying your first table saw or selling equipment you've outgrown, we provide a cleaner, work-focused platform designed specifically for tools, equipment, and vehicles.
Currently in our launch phase, we're building a marketplace that prioritizes legitimate listings, prevents spam and fraud, and connects people who are serious about getting work done. More states coming soon as we grow!
Built by a Fraud Fighter
Tool Pile was founded by Frank, bringing over a decade of experience in fraud prevention and financial crimes compliance to the equipment marketplace industry.
After years of investigating fraudulent transactions and building security systems for financial institutions, Frank recognized that the used equipment market lacked the trust infrastructure that buyers and sellers deserved. Too many contractors were getting scammed on generic marketplaces with zero accountability.
That's why Tool Pile isn't just another marketplace—it's a platform designed from the ground up by someone who understands how fraud happens and how to prevent it. Every feature, from seller verification to secure messaging, reflects our commitment to making equipment transactions safer for everyone in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
