Tool rental across the US
Rent Hand Tools from neighbors near you
Some jobs need one specific hand tool you'll never touch again. A torque wrench for a single bearing job. A pipe cutter for one bathroom. A long level to hang one run of cabinets. Buying it means it lives in a drawer forever. ToolShed lets you rent it from a neighbor for the afternoon and hand it back when the job's done.
Hand Tools you can rent nearby
A sample of what neighbors list. Availability depends on who's near you.
Socket sets
Metric and SAE sets for engine work, appliance repair, or flat-pack furniture that fights back.
Torque wrenches
Torque head bolts or lug nuts to spec without owning a wrench for one job.
Levels
Long levels for hanging cabinets, mounting a TV, or setting fence posts straight.
Pipe cutters
Clean, square cuts on copper pipe for a plumbing repair.
Pry bars
Pull nails, lift boards, and demo trim without wrecking what stays.
Why rent instead of buy?
Hand tools are cheap one at a time and expensive as a collection. The specialty ones (a torque wrench, a proper pry bar, a four-foot level) cost real money and get used once. Renting the exact tool for the job beats grabbing a mediocre version at the checkout counter and leaving it to rust.

Hand Tools rental FAQ
How much does it cost to rent hand tools?
Owners price their own listings, so it varies by tool and location. Whatever the rate, you see the full total, including the service fee and any deposit, before you confirm. Nothing to pay to browse, no membership.
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?
You arrange pickup with the owner through in-app messaging, usually at their place or somewhere public nearby. Check the tool over when you collect it and return it the same way at the end of your window.
Can I rent a full set instead of one tool?
Yes. Many owners list a full socket set or a wrench collection as a single rental. Check the listing photos and description to see exactly what's included before you book.
