Tool rental across the US
Rent Plumbing from neighbors near you
A slow drain doesn't always need a plumber. It usually needs the right tool for twenty minutes. But a drain auger or a pipe threader is a lot to buy for one clog. ToolShed lets you rent it from a neighbor, clear the line or make the repair yourself, and hand it back instead of paying for a service call.
Plumbing you can rent nearby
A sample of what neighbors list. Availability depends on who's near you.

Pipe threaders

Why rent instead of buy?
A plumber's visit for a simple clog can cost more than the tool that fixes it. A drain auger you use once a year doesn't justify the purchase or the storage. Renting one from a neighbor gets the line clear the same day, and the tool goes back when you're done.

Plumbing rental FAQ
How much does it cost to rent plumbing tools?
Owners set their own rates, so a hand auger and a powered drum snake are priced differently, and it varies by location. You always 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 pick up the tool?
Message the owner to arrange a quick handoff, usually at their place or somewhere public nearby. Look the tool over at pickup and return it the same way when your rental window is up.
Can I really clear a drain myself?
For common sink, tub, and shower clogs, a hand or drum auger clears most of them. Main-line and sewer backups are bigger jobs. Owners often list the length and type of auger, so you can match the tool to the clog before you book.
