Tool Hire: why renting the right tool for the job makes sense

Are you working on a renovation project or creating your dream home? Having the right tools for the job can make all the difference; if you’ve ever tried to make do with a tool that isn’t quite fit for purpose, you’ll probably know only too well just how quickly it can take the joy out of your project. Having said that, buying all the equipment you need can often be very expensive. This is where tool rental could be the perfect solution to your problem.

Renting tools from a reputable tool hire company can help to make your project much easier, and is often very cost effective. Many tool and equipment hire companies have a wide range to choose from, often with much more choice than you’d find in your usual retail outlets, so you can easily find the right tool for the job.

How does tool hire work?

Renting tools is usually a simple and easy procedure that doesn’t require complicated application forms. Most companies need some form of official identification document before they can rent tools and equipment to you. In the case of larger machinery such as mini digger hire, more documents may be required to complete the process.

After you have completed the rental agreement with the tool rental company, you can take the tool away and get cracking on your project. Make sure you have the means to transport the tool home before completing the hire though!

How to choose a tool hire company

Choosing the right tool hire company is quite important; it can make the difference between a smooth, enjoyable project and a frustrating experience. Before choosing a company, it’s a good idea to do some research online, looking at things like customer reviews. Good tool hire companies will have a track record and a reputation for fairness, which will give you a good idea of the company and how it deals with customers.

It’s also worth looking for a company that offers a wide range of equipment, so that you can get everything you need from one place. Hiring more equipment can often give you access to special pricing and discounts which is a great way of reducing your overall project costs. A bigger sale can sometimes allow you to negotiate with the company to deliver everything too.

Which jobs are ideal for tool hire?

While you can hire almost any tool, there are certain projects that are ideal candidates for equipment hire. It makes sense to hire tools that you’re not going to need very often, both from a cost and storage point of view.

Projects that are ideal for tool hire include plumbing and driveway works that require groundworks and excavation equipment, tile saws for complicated tiling jobs, and floor sanders. In the garden, turf lifters and rotavators will make light work of lifting a tired lawn or digging over a large area.

More and more people are choosing to renovate their homes, and this has also led to an increase in the need for tool hire. If you’re renovating your house, or even just a room, it’s definitely worth investigating whether tool hire could be the most sensible option.

Have you ever hired tools for a home or garden project? Do you have any tips on how to get the best out of the process?
