ToolShed

Rent tools from your neighbors. Save money. Stop owning stuff you use twice a year. ToolShed is a peer-to-peer tool rental marketplace. Neighbors rent their tools to neighbors. The drill you need is two blocks away. WHY RENT INSTEAD OF BUY A cordless drill sits in most garages, unused 359 days a year. The neighbor who needs one buys their own and adds another to the pile. ToolShed connects the people who already own tools with the people who need them for a weekend project, saving money on both sides and keeping good gear in use. HOW IT WORKS Browse tools near you on a map. Pick a date range. Book and pay through the app. Pick up from your neighbor on the day, return when you said you would. Stripe handles the payment so cash never has to change hands. Listing a tool you own takes a few minutes. Add a photo, set a daily rate, and you're live. Renters book through the app; you confirm pickup and return. We handle the payments and identity verification so you can focus on the handshake. TRUST AND SAFETY Every renter verifies their identity through Stripe before booking. Owners review profiles before accepting. Each rental includes up to $500 in damage protection through a per-booking hold on the renter's card. Disputes go through a human review process, not an algorithm. LAUNCHING IN Available in all areas within the United States. Primarily focusing on Denver, Colorado and the Atlanta metro including Decatur. WHO IT'S FOR Renters: anyone who needs a specific tool once and doesn't want to buy it. Weekend warriors, new homeowners, apartment renters without storage, hobbyists trying something new. Owners: anyone with a garage full of tools they barely use. Hobbyists who want their gear to pay for itself. Retired tradespeople. People who finished one project and want to recoup the cost. WHAT IT'S NOT Not a rental warehouse, not a hardware store in an app. ToolShed is a marketplace; the tools you see belong to people who live near you, not a corporate inventory. PRIVACY AND CONTROL You decide what to list, who to lend to, and when. Your address is shown only to renters with a confirmed booking. Tool listings appear at a fuzzed location until pickup is confirmed. QUESTIONS [email protected]
