Power Tool Hire Across the UK

Choosing the right power tool for the job

Power tool hire earns its keep on the jobs you do once a year rather than every week, a decent SDS drill, mitre saw, or angle grinder costs hundreds of pounds to buy but only a few pounds a day to hire, which makes far more sense for a one-off job than buying a tool that will spend the next five years in a shed.

Corded tools still outperform cordless on raw power and runtime for demanding jobs like core drilling or extended cutting, while cordless models win on site flexibility where a mains supply is not close by. Petrol-powered options, such as disc cutters, come into their own on sites without power at all.

Attachments and consumables are as important as the tool itself, the wrong blade, disc, or bit turns a good tool into a slow, frustrating one. Tell your local depot what material you are working with when you book, and they can supply the right consumable alongside the tool rather than leaving you to guess.
