Frequently asked Questions

 

How does this work?

This is a marketplace where you can rent or buy tools. If you require a tool, check out the website for options and as per your requirement rent or buy them. The rates of the tool and deposit details are available on the website.

You can contact the owner directly for the payment details.

If you own tools, you can put them on rent or sale. Tool owners can add their price/rate for selling or renting tools and charge a reasonable refundable deposit in case the tools are damaged.

The owner will have to deal internally if the tool is not returned or is damaged.
