Power Tool Rental

Power tool rental gives you the right tool for a single job without paying to own it, from demo hammers and saws to welders, sprayers and laser levels. Check what consumables are included and compare suppliers for your dates.

What rented tools are used for

Renting makes sense for tools you need briefly or that cost too much to buy for one project. Common choices are table and tile saws, grinders, magnetic drills, welders, plasma cutters, paint sprayers, drywall sanders, vacuums, laser levels and surveying tools. For specialized guides, see pressure washer, paint sprayer and jackhammer.

How to choose the right tool

  • Size it to the material. Drill and blade capacity should match the material and depth.
  • Check power. Some tools need a 240-volt outlet or a generator.
  • Ask about consumables. Blades, bits, tips and filters may be sold or billed by wear.
  • Add dust control. Vacuums and shrouds make cleanup and safety easier.
  • Compare rental length. A week may cost less than several separate days.

How to use a rented tool

  1. Ask for a quick walkthrough, and read the manual or decals.
  2. Check cords, guards and any fluids before you start.
  3. Clamp or support the work, and wear the right eye, hearing and breathing protection.
  4. Let the tool do the cutting without forcing it.
  5. Unplug it to change blades or bits.
  6. Clean it before you return it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Removing a guard. It's there to protect you, and removal often voids the rental terms.
  • Using the wrong blade. Wrong blades cut poorly and can kick.
  • Overloading a cord. Long, thin extension cords can overheat tools.
  • Skipping fire watch when welding or grinding. Sparks travel far.
  • Returning it dirty. Cleaning fees add up.

Tips before you rent

  • Ask what is included in the rental price.
  • Photograph the tool when you pick it up.
  • Ask if the supplier has a backup if the tool fails.
