Rent tools from your neighbors
Why buy expensive tools you'll only use once? ToolShed connects you with neighbors who have what you need. Save money, reduce waste, build community.
A tool you use once shouldn't cost like one you use weekly
Most homeowners buy the pressure washer, use it for one afternoon, and store it for the next four years. Renting the same machine from three streets away costs a fraction and takes up none of your garage.
- Pressure Washer
- $300 to buy$40/day
- Extension Ladder
- $250 to buy$15/day
- Circular Saw
- $150 to buy$25/day
Retail prices are typical big-box figures. Daily rates are what owners actually charge on ToolShed.
Borrow for the weekend, or put your own tools to work between projects
Find Tools Nearby
Discover tools in your neighborhood with map-based search. Filter by category, price, and availability, and save the ones you want for later. Nothing nearby? Post a tool request and owners come to you.
Earn Extra Income
That drill in the garage can pay for itself. Set your price and availability; we handle the payments.
Flexible Booking
Daily or weekly rentals. Instant Book listings confirm the moment you pay; the rest go to the owner for approval. Add-ons like bits, blades, and batteries ride along on the same booking.
Eco-Friendly
Most power tools are used for less than an hour a year. Sharing them keeps good tools working and out of landfills.
See what your shed could earn
You keep most of every booking. Set a daily rate, say how often you would lend it out, and the estimate updates as you type.
Based on real rental rates in your category, not a best case.
Renters pay $27.50/day ($25 + $2.50 service fee + tax). You keep 92.5% of your listed rate.
Lending out a $400 saw is a leap of faith. We back it.
Set your tool's replacement value when you list it. If it comes back damaged, ToolShed reimburses you up to that value, capped at $500 per rental and backed by the renter's refundable deposit. This is a limited damage guarantee, not insurance.
