A Tool Shed Equipment Rental

Only came in for a propane refill. Michael helped me out. Filled it up and loaded it in the car for me. Couldn’t ask for more.

I’ve been a customer of A Tool Shed Rentals for over 20 years. My father was a big customer as well. I have changed my review to a rather glowing one after management has rectified a situation. Thanks for your help in addressing my situation Mr. P.

We have been coming here for years for all of our DIY home remodeling tool and equipment rental needs. We have found they are good about prorating rental fees (once minimums are met) and have everything we need. Guys are overall polite and don’t make me feel intimidated when I rent out or return tools and ask questions that, to them, are elementary.

Drove over and had two propane tanks filled… saved $ 7 over what Home Depot would have charged

The tools are good but the customer service is horrible.
Being first time renting a heavy duty vacuum, I did not know all the necessary parts that go with it. Granted, it was partially my mistake as well.
The wand was checked out although the guy giving delivery never gave me. They made me go between this location and Morgan Hill location (where I was told I could return, so i did) and eventually did not charge me since they found extra wand in their facility which means they never provided me one. The manager refused to provide any courtesy discount for this issue and he was rather not empathetic at all. I was also charged $ 35 extra for returning late by an hour and a half. When I first inquired about this equipment at Morgan Hill, the guy offered 10% discount when I return at Morgan Hill, but I ended up not getting any discount, charged overage and did not get all the necessary parts. Once they have your money, they don’t care about your experience or try to be accommodating.

Best prices around, nice group of guys. My rental ran a couple hours over the daily time, but they didn’t charge extra – a lot of companies would have charged a full extra day. Highly recommended.

A Tool Shed was our one-​stop solution for a scissor lift used in decorating a gym for a special school event. They were generous, accommodating and flexible and we can’t thank them enough! We have used them repeatedly for this purpose and each time, this proves to be the case. They are awesome!

You wanna know who to rent from? Go to A Tool Shed when they open at 7AM and check out the line up of contractors and the lot full of F250s and F350s loaded to the gills. If A Tool Shed doesn’t have it, you don’t need it.
And then… there’s the service.
Today I rented a scissor lift to aid in painting my house. I never used one before. I reserved it for two days work to pick up on one day, then changed dates to another day. No problem doing that. It came on time with instructions. But I thought that it didn’t work as I thought it should. Back at the office, Manager says OK, I’ll come pick it up. I go back home and figure out (finally) how it works. It worked perfectly all the time… but I didn’t ‘get it’. In any case, hours later, having forgotten to tell the office that I figured it out, a truck comes to pick up the unit. Oh no, can I keep it… I finally figured out how to operate it. Guy in the truck calls office. Manager says no problem, keep it another day. I gotta tell you, these guys are the best. I’ve rented here for years. The Manager is superb, I’ve seen him handle counter and phones with a particular aplomb. Excellent. Delivery guys and yard guys are great. Go here.

Okay so we bought a house… March of 2014, right on schedule, we rototilled the front yard to put in a veggie-​and-​flowers garden bed; nice little 12′ x 12′ box with a slight bow of brick in the front.
Where do you borrow a rototiller in this part of the world, and who has the best advice as to what size to use?
THIS place. Yay!
Easy pick up, easy return, perfect billing and record-​keeping. We even got there able to rent one of their brand new 5 hp machines.
It helps to have a burly pal with a pickup truck, who knew to ask us to water in the day before we’d dig, and who for love and mere money did the rototilling and got the tool back well within that first 24-​hour chunk of time, which was faster than we’d allowed for and got us a credit on our estimate/​deposit, very tidily and easily handled.
We’ll stop by again when we need good tools. Thank you for being there!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences in a tool shed in Campbell California the services great invoices are received was very effective I highly recommend this place all my friends and family

I need something. I rent it. Life is good. So I had 2 Home Depot pressure washers die after one use. Now I rent from AToolshed… Instead of cluttering my garage with things I will use once and store forever. Pressure washer, rototiller, rug cleaner, shop vac (great after I had a sliding door blown out by a falling branch).
The rototiller was the closet thing to an issue. After pounding the rock hard soil where I live for 5 hours putting in a lawn, the blades came unscrewed from the pounding. I just brought it back and swapped it out. No big deal.

I just got my new propane tank from Costco and needed a place to fill. After calling about a dozen places and all were exchange only, I came across this one on Unilocal and called, yep, they refill. The place is not on the main road and you can easily miss it if you’re not looking for this. Huge lot with lots of equipment. As soon as I stopped, one of the guys came over and ask what I needed, I said propane fill and he said this way and I followed, put my tank down and he proceeded to do his thing. Very efficient, since it was new, he purged it, then filled it to 4.7 gallons, I asked why he didn’t fill it to 5 and he said something about giving it room to expand and also said, you’re not charged for 5 gallons, charged for 4.7. From the time I stopped and left, it was about 10 mins. Fantastic place, at least for propane refill.

Amazing service. Paul at the front desk was so nice. They don’t charge a minimum fee for filling our BBQ propane tank and have great rates. Best place in town!

Refinishing deck — needed a belt sander. The staff here is so helpful! They showed me how to use a belt sander and gave me masks and ear plugs along with the rental. Not only did they demo how to replace and ‘center’ the rotating belt sandpaper, but they let me do a run-​through. I will be renting from them again.

This location has come to the rescue several times. The staff is knowledgeable about any tool or piece of equipment you could think of. Not only that but I think they have just about any tool for rent. I have use them for small backyard jobs to large scale jobs.
This is also a great location, right in the corner of Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga, and San Jose.
Thanks for the hard work guys.

I came here to get my 20lb propane tank refilled for my BBQ grill. I came during non-​peak hours, and drove right up to the refill location. As soon as I stepped out of my car with my tank in hand, the guy working the yard knew what I wanted. Took about 15 minutes total before I was out the door.
Total cost was about $ 18 and change for 4.2 gallons of propane. They charge $ 3.99 per gallon, plus tax. This is the about the same price as if you did a tank exchange at Home Depot or Lowes. However when you do a tank exchange, many of them only fill 15lb of propane into the 20lb container. So you get more for your money here!

Great place to rent a trailer at a good price, came in two days ago and rented a trailer to haul sod to patch up some of the grass in my yard. Was able to get in and out quickly and haul my rolls of grass without messing up the back of my SUV. Saw a lot of other cool tools to rent and they will refill the propane tanks for BB Q’s too.

I rented a power hammer. They were very helpful, explained the choices.
I’ll be back.
They have an incredible selection of equipment.

I like this store. They are helpful and all the equipment has performed as intended.
I rented a concrete cutter and a pressure washer and high capacity pump.

I stopped by here to rent a flooring stapler (reserved one online), and everything seemed great. Not only did they have the stapler, they also had the «nails» (or staples), at a reasonable price. They even checked the air fitting before I left to make sure I had the right type of nozzle installed.
When I returned home, I took a look at the stapler and noticed that there was no way the «nails» they’d sent me home with were going to fit into this stapler, they’d pulled the wrong thing off the shelf.
It was now after hours, but I gave them a ring and mentioned what the problem was. I was fully expecting that they were going to charge me for this time and I’d have to fight with them about it, but I was pleasantly surprised that they re-​started my contract when I picked up the new (correct) staples, free of charge.
When I got home this time, I immediately tried it out, but it turned out that the flooring staple was WAY over-​kill for installing bamboo flooring, practically obliterating my non-​hardwood, actually-​grass floor.
I realized this within about an hour, and was already on my way back to the rental place, expecting that I was SOL and $ 90 was going down the tube.
Amazingly, they didn’t bat an eye, voided my contract, and sent me on my way with a smile. They could have been jerks, but they make it right!
