Tool rental across the US
Rent Electrical from neighbors near you
Swapping an outlet, running a new circuit, or chasing down a dead line is doable work, with the right tools. A multimeter to test it, fish tape to pull it, a conduit bender to route it. Buying all of that for one project is overkill. ToolShed lets you rent exactly what the job needs from a neighbor and give it back.
Electrical you can rent nearby
A sample of what neighbors list. Availability depends on who's near you.
Multimeters
Test voltage, continuity, and whether that wire is actually dead before you touch it.
Wire strippers
Strip clean without nicking the conductor.
Fish tape
Pull wire through walls and conduit without opening up the whole run.
Conduit benders
Bend clean, code-friendly angles for a surface or garage run.
Why rent instead of buy?
The specialty electrical tools (a good multimeter, fish tape, a conduit bender) get used for one project and then sit. Renting the right one from a neighbor means you test and wire safely instead of guessing, without buying a tool you'll use once. Know your limits and pull a permit when the job calls for one.

Electrical rental FAQ
How much does it cost to rent electrical tools?
Owners price their own listings, so a multimeter and a conduit bender cost different amounts, and rates vary by area. You see the full total, including the service fee and any deposit, before you confirm.
Is it covered if something breaks?
Every rental is backed by ToolShed's damage protection, up to $500 per rental. If a tool is damaged while you have it, you file a claim in the app with photos and our team reviews it. It is a limited damage guarantee, not insurance. Read how protection works for the full details. See how protection works
How do I get the tool?
Arrange pickup with the owner through in-app messaging, usually at their place or a public spot nearby. Check the tool at pickup and return it the same way at the end of your window.
Should I hire an electrician instead?
For simple swaps like replacing an outlet or a switch, many homeowners do the work themselves with the right tools and the power off. New circuits, panel work, and anything you're unsure about call for a licensed electrician and often a permit. Rent the tools for the parts you're qualified to do.
