Why Hiring Your Tools Is Best

Announcement posted by Concrete Hire Perth 07 Jun 2018

Why hire tools?

It’s a good question and you’ve come to the right place for answers.

Whether you need a small power tool for a home renovation or garden landscaping project or require specialised concrete equipment for a professional job, hiring tools makes sense on many different levels. 

Think about the usage rates of the tool you need.  Will you get lots of mileage from it or will it sit idle in your garage or storeroom once the job is over? 

That brings us to the question of storage.   If you own your tools, you need a secure space to keep them.  Not everyone has a garage or storeroom with ample space, but when you hire equipment, you simply return the tools when you’re done so storage is not a problem. 

When you hire tools from a reputable equipment hire company, they’re well-maintained and serviced, ready for immediate use.  If your equipment has been languishing in a storeroom and hasn’t been used for a while, it’ll probably require a bit of maintenance before it’s good to go - and in all likelihood, this will result in unexpected delays and costs. 

Equipment is developing all the time.  When you hire tools, you get the benefit of having the latest designs and advancements at your disposal, but if you bought a product, you’re stuck with it.

It makes economic sense to hire tools.  Obviously, there are circumstances where purchasing machinery is a more financially sound option, but very often, hiring is an affordable and cost-effective solution.  It helps with cash-flow, enables greater financial flexibility and easier budgeting.

There’s no question that you get top quality tools when you hire from a professional firm.  You get access to tools from leading global brands which have a proven track record in reliability, consistency, durability and performance.  In fact, the hire company will probably have better tools than you could realistically expect to buy yourself - and with such high quality equipment, you may even be able to complete the work to much higher standard.

When you hire equipment from a reputable company, you’ll be able to tap into their industry experience and get specialist advice.   Whether it’s a recommendation on which tool is best for your particular requirements, what safety practices are required or training on how to operate the equipment, hiring equipment puts expert advice at your fingertips.

You also get access to a much wider range of equipment.  Let’s say you bought a small concrete grinder.  Chances are that you’ll end up using it for a larger job simply because you own it, but this may end up costing you more in the long-run.  Making do with the equipment you have can lead to unsafe practices, cost and time overruns and quality issues - whereas hiring gives you a wide range of options so you can choose the most suitable equipment for that particular project.

Hiring equipment also gives you the opportunity to explore various models before you commit to buying one.  You may be unsure of what size machine you need or want to check out the quality and feel of different brands - all of this is possible with short-term equipment hire.
