Borrow Items and Save with our Online Tool Rental Platform
Starting a DIY project? Want to get creative with a new craft? Keen to give a new activity a go? Look no further, our online tool rental platform is designed for you. By borrowing stuff on Little Big Shed you can:
- Make, mend and learn – without the hefty costs of buying items new or requiring space to store things you hardly use.
- Support your community – borrowing from your neighbours means that they get to make some money while you get to save. Plus, it’s a great excuse to connect with locals like you and build trust in your hood!
- Care for the environment – through buying less and borrowing more, demand for products reduces. Sharing helps remove waste out of the whole supply chain before it has the chance to do damage.
Our hobby gear, equipment and online tool rental app makes it easy to book and borrow items from within your community.
The Sharing Economy Is Growing Fast Globally
We’re sharing more stuff with each other than ever before, peer-to-peer technologies are changing the way we travel, listen to music, work, borrow money and access other people’s tools, hobby or leisure equipment.
In 2013 the sharing economy was worth just NZ$22 billion. It is predicted to grow to more that NZ$495 billion by 2025, matching traditional hire/rental models.
