The one in Chicago is great. They also had a huge collection of free seeds this spring.
i thought this was called having neighbors? Nonetheless, i'm not complaining. Less waste is better waste.
This is great! I've rented things from home improvement stores, and it's often half the price of actually buying said thing. Hopefully this can get the price down a bit.
Priced out of living in communities where you have friends and family to share things with? Hooray! Now you can pay us for that stuff in addition to your increased cost of living!

Our library in the last place we lived (Midwest of the US) let you take pans from their large collection of cake pans. It was actually really useful.

I should start my own rental thing. I tend to buy what I need for DIY projects and I'm on the build up of tools phase. I can pretty much build my own house if I wanted, or fix anything in my car. So I got a number of toys just catching dust most of the time. But toys are fun.
As a Dutchman, do other countries not have rental places everywhere? Over here every diy store has a rental department, I'd guess this is universal?
In North America you don't see many home improvement stores downtown where people are most likely to rent.
Most Lowe's, Home Depots, etc do have tool rental options, but they're located out in the burbs where land is cheap and everyone has space to store tools.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
