Sites where you can rent equipment - chainsaws, window vacs, etc?

Shrubmaster

Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum in which to post this - apologies if it's not. I've read a few articles about the home equipment section of the "sharing economy" - sites where individuals can rent things like hedge trimmers, chainsaws, ladders, etc, to each other. The idea is that as a lender you make money from something you only use occasionally, and the person renting your item doesn't have to purchase one for a one-off task.

I now can't remember the name of a single one of these sites. I've found Erento and Zilko and will investigate those, but they're not the ones I've visited before and that looked a bit better. Does anyone know of any others?

ZiLok springs to mind. However, i tried the site and it has major issues.

You will need to prove you have relevant training before you can hire a chainsaw.

Anyone can buy a chainsaw & use it week after week, but you need qualifications to hire one for a day!
