Description of a Tool Hire Shop
Here we aim to provide you with the useful information on what a tool hire shop does.
Tool Hire Shop
A tool hire shop provides the hire of equipment to customers who choose to hire rather than buy.
Usually a "standard" tool hire shop will stock a wide range of popular tools and items of equipment that can help you with jobs such as the carrying out of work in relation to:
- Undertaking building works
- Cleaning tasks
- Decorating
- Engineering work
- Gardening
- Joinery and woodworking
- Landscaping
- Light metal fabrication work
- Property maintenance
- Access equipment
- Accomodation buildings and cabins
- Cleaning equipment
- Climate control equipment
- Dust control appliances
- Heating and ventilation products
- Lifting equipment
- Lighting product's
- Machinery moving products
- Manual handling equipment
- Plumbing tools
- Street furniture
- Welding equipment
You will find that there are tool hire companies that market their services towards just the trade user or to the private (domestic) customer. In addition there are tool hire shops that cater for both. Two companies worthy of a mention in this category are HSS and Tedbar Tinker Hire (HSS is a UK National company, Tedbar's is based in Sheffield in South Yorkshire) both of these companies providing a comprehensive range of equipment that is of a high quality and which is available for rental by both trade users as well as the general public.
Why do people and businesses choose the service of tool hire?
This could be because the customer (user) only needs a specific tool for a limited time or a one-off job, hence being more cost effective to hire the required tool than purchasing it.
People also choose to use the service of tool hire when they don't have the necessary tool on-hand, often it is far easier to call into a local tool hire shop and obtain the required product rather than spend time (and ultimately money) in travelling back to a location to pick a tool up.
Electric power tools in particular eventually require maintenance and repairs, and if your tool is currently in a local tool shop having repairs done it may be wise to hire a tool during this period.
Do you have the space to store an item of equipment or a specific tool whilst you are not using it? This is often the case for tradespeople when it comes to large items of equipment such as a cement mixer, scaffold access tower, or maybe a pressure washer?
A tool hire shop can help you out here by supplying the equipment or product when you need it, and when you've completed the job in-hand - simply return it to the tool hire shop eliminating any storage requirement by yourself.
Transportation of a particular tool or product: A tool hire shop can really help you out here. If you operate a car or maybe a small van and simply cannot transport a particular product yourself - think about using a tool hire shop instead! Most tool hire shops offer a convenient delivery and collection service that can really help you out in this scenario.
A few examples are: you need to use a brick saw machine and it simply is too big to fit in your own vehicle, or maybe a petrol lawnmower, how about a heavy duty jet washer or even a pair of ladders? All of these items could be supplied by a tool hire shop using their own deliver service providing a cost effective solution to your tool transportation problem!
Control your finances: By opting to use tool hire you can effectively control and manage your available finances. This is a major benefit to the self-employed tradesperson that may not have a large resource of finances on-hand to draw off. Instead of having a large outlay of cash which is spent on buying a selection of power tools, the professional user can "spread" it over hiring tools instead - when the need arises.
Limited maintenance costs: A lot of builders, electricians, and other trades regularly use the services of a tool hire shop for this benefit alone. Using someone else's tools and equipment eliminates general maintenance costs to your business. Think of an example such as if you need to hire a concrete breaker tool, over a period of time this machine would need ongoing maintenance and repairs - simply due to general wear and tear. All of these costs would be covered by your local tool hire company. The only exception to this would be for the supply of any consumables such as perhaps the resharpening of the concrete breaker tools chisel(s) - and if the machine suffers any accidental damage by you.

- For the safe working at heights you may need a suitable item of powered access equipment? This could be an articulated boom, a cherry picker, an electric or battery operated scissor lift, or a high capacity powered lifting platform
The cost of hiring a particular tool or item of an equipment can be made-up in several ways. In the UK most tool hire shops follow a similar charging pattern along the lines of:
- Charging for an item by the day
- Charging for an item by the week
- Charging for an item for a week and each day thereafter
Occasionally certain products will have a hire price that is based on a "minimum" period - usually which is for a period of one week (7 consecutive days). Usually in this category are products that include scaffold access towers, temporary site fencing, portable toilets, and some specialist items of lifting equipment.
Hand tools too usually have a minimum hire period rate, but never the less, the prices charged are usually very reasonable when compared to what the cost would be if you chose to buy the same item.
