The idea started with Kate, who watched her husband buy tool after tool for odd jobs around the house. One day she asked the obvious question: “Why can’t you just hire them instead?”

After looking around, the answer became clear: the hire industry was geared towards builders and tradespeople – cement mixers, scaffolding, heavy kit – but there was nothing focused on the enthusiastic DIYer.

That’s where Small Tool Hire Co comes in – a business built on everyday common sense:

• Access to the right tools for almost any home project
• Simple online booking with delivery and collection options
• Affordable hire for those one-off jobs where buying doesn’t make sense
• Help for beginners so even first-timers feel confident
• Trade-quality tools without the trade-size cost

From putting up shelves, laying a floor, or fixing a leaky tap, to tackling bigger weekend projects, we believe everyone should have access to the right tools – without the cost and hassle of buying and storing them.

Our mission is simple: to make DIY easier, cheaper, and less wasteful.
