Hey guys I was wondering if you guys ever had any experience with renting things out . Like a hand grindr, or a drill, let’s say a 5 price kit. Could I charge a little to make something on thr side. With Marc carney in rn it’s hard to make any money.
Welcome to the forum.
It sounds (looks) like things are sideways in British Columbia.
We have tool rental sites in America. Those sites rent unusual expensive stuff that is required for a specific project, then won’t ever be needed again.
Lower cost items, like a drill or a grinder are typically purchased to be on-hand when required.
My concern would be abusive usage, damage and failure to return when required.
It may be that there is a market for that business / service in your area. Why not check the telephone applications to see if others offer that service and what they charge?
