Why It's Good to Hire Tools and Equipment 

Whether you're outdoors doing some landscaping, on a building site, or just catching up on a few DIY jobs around the house, there’s nothing more frustrating than not having the right tools to carry out your job safely and efficiently.

Really you have two options; you can buy a tool that is going to cost you a lot of money, will likely only be used once or twice and then spend the next few years living in your garage - which, let’s face it, isn’t very good for the environment.

Or you can simply speak to Speedy, the UK’s number one hire company.

Benefits of Hiring Tools Rather Than Buying

1. It is more cost-effective

Tools which are of professional standard, and can get the job done quicker and easier, are really expensive to purchase.

If you're running a business, or renovating your home, this is an upfront cost you could do without. Hiring tools is cheaper, eliminating these upfront costs and reducing the need for loan purchase agreements, which can have a negative effect on cash flow month after month.

Hiring results in one payment, for as long as you need the tools, and that is that.

 

2. You don't need to store or sell your tools

In most cases, you need specialist tools for just one project. Hopefully after laying a patio, you won't need a wacker plate anytime soon again!

There's no point in keeping hold of it for those 'just in case' moments. It just takes up storage space and increases your risk of theft. Tool storage is particularly risky for businesses and sites at risk of break-ins, or for self-employed people with work van storage. Secure storage could cost, however.

Selling the tools can solve this issue, but tools start to rapidly depreciate in value as soon as they're bought and used.

So, you could lose a lot of money on that expensive kit. Instead, hiring it will work out as cheaper than the money you'd lose, and there's no need to pay to store it either.

 

3. No maintenance

Here at Speedy, all our tools and equipment are checked, cleaned, and serviced before every hire. Any issues, and we resolve them before our equipment is "Ready 4 Rent" again.

This means there's no need for you to get equipment serviced and foot the costs. There's no need for you to pay for expensive repair costs should something go wrong, either. Any issues with your equipment, just give us a call and we will sort it.

 

4. Access to the latest tools

If you are going to cling to a tool for years until it breaks, it will soon be out of date. Technology is romping on, with battery and solar power now as popular as ever.

Speedy invests in our fleet every year, so when new equipment is available, we can have it. If you hire, you can take full advantage of this, rather than paying for equipment yourself.

 

5. Immediate availability

Check if we have your desired tool in stock at your local depot. If we do, it could be delivered to you within hours, or you could collect it the same day.

Ordering tools could mean a wait, which means downtime for your business. Because your hire tool already exists and is in the hire fleet, it is ready almost immediately.
