A drill, a ladder or a carpet cleaner sits unused most of the time. Borrowing instead of buying saves money and storage space.
Where to borrow
- Public libraries: some lend tools, kitchen gear and outdoor equipment
- Community tool libraries
- Neighbors and your sharing circle
- Rental from hardware stores for big, occasional jobs
Borrowing etiquette
- Return it clean, on time, with any fuel or blades replaced
- Agree in advance what happens if it breaks
- Write down what's out and with whom
