Tool rental is now coming to Lowe’s. The company announced that it will begin rolling out tool rental departments nationwide, creating a one-stop shop for all the tools and equipment Pros and DIY customers need to complete improvement projects. Lowe’s Tool Rental will begin a multi-year national rollout with its first space opening in Charlotte, N.C., on Aug. 20.
The rental department will feature:
- A fleet of commercial-grade equipment, including brands like Husqvarna, Bosch and Metabo HPT
- An assortment of drain cleaning, restoration, sanitation and concrete tools, in addition to merchandise to accompany the tools, such as protective equipment and cleaning solutions, for purchase
- Technology that enables an efficient check-in and check-out process with an online reservation option, in-store self-service kiosks and digital documents that can be signed and viewed from a mobile device
- A team of associates who can provide hands-on product demonstrations
- Approximately 4,000 square feet of space with a fully equipped mechanic shop to service tools, space for on-site cleaning and product demo areas
“For all of our customers, having the right tool is key to every project, but they may not always want to purchase a new tool or piece of equipment. Lowe’s Tool Rental helps customers save on the cost of owning, maintaining and storing the tools they need,” says Fred Stokes, senior vice president of pro sales and services for Lowe’s. “As the new home for Pros, offering tool rental is just another way we are committed to keeping them working. Whether a Pro’s tool fails on the job, needs a repair or they’re looking to try something new, tool rental will allow them to get back to the jobsite faster, saving them time and money.”
Lowe’s Tool Rental departments will be spaces that either expand the Lowe’s store or are located on Lowe’s property next to an existing store. Read more information on Lowe’s Tool Rental.

I believe it is a smart move by the company. By offering customers the option to rent tools instead of purchasing them, Lowe’s is providing a cost-effective solution for individuals who may not need certain tools on a regular basis. This initiative not only caters to budget-conscious consumers but also promotes sustainability by reducing unnecessary tool purchases and subsequent waste.
