Left an online request for a battery-operated line trimmer/weed eater late Tuesday night. Called Wednesday morning to confirm reservation. Was told the equipment would not be there until first thing Thursday morning. I agreed to pick it up Thursday morning. Went to AToolShed, Campbell, Thursday morning and was told the Manager had taken the line trimmer home with him the day before and hadn't returned it. I asked when the Manager would be back and was told he didn't know when or if the Manager would return. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

I am Joe Homeowner and it has really tickled me that I can rent real construction equipment to do jobs at my house. So far I have rented a stump grinder and a jackhammer. We are doing a lot of landscaping work and had two large sugar maple trees removed and there were bits of stump still sticking up, and we had two cypress trees removed years ago and it is time to remove the stumps and pave the area over. The areas around the cypress tree stumps had some concrete around it that I needed to remove before I could fix the area. I took a sledge hammer and started pounding and realized in a few minutes that I should be using a machine. I rented a jackhammer for two hours and completely removed the concrete from both areas. It saved me hours and hours of pounding and chipping away and cost me $46. I rented a stump grinder and ground down the 4 stumps here at the house then took it to my son's house and ground down a stump. A couple of days ago I started to dig out one of the areas around a cypress only to find that when they built the brick planter next to it they left a puddle of concrete buried about 6" underground. I took out my sledge hammer and after a few swings decided to return and get the jackhammer again. It took me less than an hour to go to A Tool Shed, rent the hammer, remover the concrete and bring the hammer back. Another $26 well spent! The people here are really great and know their stuff. They take the time to explain how to use things and what to do if there is a problem. My next rental is going to be an excavator which I will use to re-grade my front yard and dig some foundations for planters and a greenhouse. Doing it myself is going to save me thousands of dollars. They rent a mini-excavator that is less than 4' wide and has a dozer blade and a backhoe. One word of warning - these are real tools designed to be used by professionals. The stump grinder I rented weighs 130 lbs and you have to be able to walk it up and down the trailer ramp and using it is no joke. It's heavy work. It was a hot day and I had to stop many times. The first time I rented a jackhammer they put it my car and when I got home realized the sucker is really heavy. It's a lot of work to use. But for me it was sure worth it, it saved me hours and hours of heavy labor. read more

A Tool Shed Equipment Rentals - Oops! Here you can see where the jackhammer got stuck. I had to dig it out with a chisel.. - Machine & Tool Rental Near Me - Campbell, California

Easy in easy out! Very good customer service. Ty hey were great about loading and unloading the pylons I rented.

Great place to rent machinery. I called them yesterday to reserve a vibratory plate, for my Paver project. Axel asked me what time I needed it, I said 8am (no problem I'll have it ready for you) Came in at 7:45 am and they had it there waiting for me. They loaded it up in my truck and I was out of there in 10min. There prices for rentals are a bit on the high side but all things considered they are conveniently worth it. read more

If anyone else has been over charged by A Toolshed please leave a review. I began renting from A Toolshed in 2019. I rented by telephone, and they always quoted 'monthly' rates. And charged me for a 28 day period. I started ​complaining in early 2022 - they refused to address my complaint. In September 2022 I demanded they refund the overcharges. They refused. A few months later, I called and was again quoted monthly rates. A month later after I escalated my concern, they began quoting 28 day rentals.​ read more

I have rented sod cutter, tiller, trencher, and paint sprayer. They friendly and explained everything I need to know. All the equipment worked well and got my job done easily. I'll be back whenever I need something around the house. read more

Good, quick service. Rented an air compressor for 1/2 day. They tested it and showed me how it worked. Loaded it into my truck and off I went. I had a question about running it after I left and they carefully answered my questions over the phone. I appreciated that a lot. I also never felt that they talked down to me (like some other places have in the past). Compressor worked great and was actually an upgrade to the model I was charged for. Would recommend on outside customer service and equipment Only ding.. for the counter service, the fellow at the counter wasnt very careful about Covid protocols and when his face covering slipped he simply took it off. However, the doors to the store were open and all other staff & customers wore face coverings and stayed 6' apart. It felt safe enough even if sloppy. read more

I rented a pressure washer today. They showed me how to hook up the hoses and start the motor. I washed the driveway, but at one point I couldn't get the water flowing. I called and they offered to come to my house to help. Turns out I had forgotten to turn the water faucet back on! Then I broke the rope on the starter, and then I couldn't load the machine back in the car, because it was too heavy for me. These guys were so gracious, helping me every step of the way, drove out to my house a 2nd time to pick up the machine, and not only did they NOT charge me extra for all the trouble, but they also gave me a discount!! Very impressive- these guys! read more

Positives: They have a nice selection of equipment and are open 7 days. Prices are typical. Problems: 1. Website reservations for equipment gets no response at all. They would be better off to just get rid of it since it just creates frustrated customers. 2. Calling is also frustrating - long holds which eventually result in no one actually helping you. It seems like you need to make two visits - one to reserve and another to actually rent. 3. They should be able to answer questions definitively - when renting a nailer I should be able to get a "yes or no" answer to the question - "Do you have 18 gauge nails available for purchase" After discussing with the guy on the phone, I am not 100% sure they'll have what I need. Suggestion: They need a technology update - it should be possible to... 1. Create accounts and maintain contact info etc online 2. Reserve equipment online 3. Maintain payment methods online All transactions at the rental yard would go smoother. read more

I won't be back: * None of the employees wear masks. * The employees I dealt with must hate working here. If not, then they must hate customers. All of them are extremely unfriendly. * They added moving pads to my rental, which I didn't need, didn't ask for, and didn't get. Didn't discover this until I had left the store. If the unfriendly clerk had told me my total bill, I would've known he as overcharging me. Clearly this store has management issues. Either the manager hires jerks, or he turns them into jerks by making them hate their jobs. read more

This place have been around forever! Their service is good. Equipment always well kept. They should have restroom for customer for this size facilities! Special thanks to Alphonso for better way to load up equipment:) -- Respectfully, Rick read more

They have a good selection, easy online quotes available, appt setup, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

My parents asked me to help them fill their planter boxes at their home. I said, "sure". Big mistake, they wanted me to haul 3200lbs of super compost & 1600lbs of planter soil. OMG, what the hell did I get my self into. So I had to rent a truck for $20 + 20miles and buy a tarp for $65, totals $85 already and I had no intention of buying a wheel barrow for $79+...damn I also need shovels. All in all I was not prepared. Smh. I stopped by a tool shed rentals at 3:30pm and walked out with a wheelbarrow @ $15/day and two shovels @ $6e/day. The service was quick and painless and I was out of there by 3:45. Everyone was very nice and having a good time. I thought that they had a big bull dog or something passed out behind the counter snoring up a storm but when I asked the dude that was helping me he told me it was actually a co-worker. LOL. read more

Good group and helpful with answering questions. I'll be back and recommend as they have a high selection of tools you might otherwise think you need to buy. read more

Extremely disappointed. I rented a drain auger for two hours. Within 30 minutes I brought it back as it did not reverse as it should. They tried to show me it did. In 15 to 20 minutes it may be reversed 1 foot. At that rate it would take eight hours for the 25 feet of snake to go back in. Definitely was not working properly I've used these many years never has it not got into reverse. While I was there another customer complaint of the exact same reason. They offered me another one I said no thank you I will just call a plumber. I told him don't charge my card they said they wouldn't but they did. I filed a claim with Chase Bank and it went in my favor. $55 and now they sent me to a collection agency the bastards. I have excellent credit rating and now they are trying to wreck it they've got some nerve and their tools all look old and abused. I don't even think their workers know how to work them. So make sure if you rent anything from this shady organization that you have them tested in front of your face and make sure it works properly. They won't be getting a dime out of me I promise you that! read more

Tried to rent a stump grinder... 3 separate times I tried to pick one up it was sitting in the yard broken. The 2nd and 3rd attempts I called beforehand and told that the equipment was ready to go, only to be told by guy working in the yard that it actually in need of repair. read more

Poor business practice When you rent a tool or vehicle from A Tool Shed you fill the equipment up with fuel When questioned about the fuel. they said they couldn't do anything so just be aware I feel the problem is the help they have in the yard since they should properly check the vehicle when they come in and when they go out read more

Needed a pole chainsaw to cut two high branches off a tree. Read A Tool Shed's website where they brag about not charging tax and environmental fees, so called them. They said they had what I needed, so I asked them to hold it for me and I'd be there in about an hour. Got to the store (900 Dell Ave), completed the paperwork then waited almost an hour (!) while they tried to get the saw to work. They finally gave me a different one after they put a chain on it. Returned the saw about 90 mins later and noticed a 'sale' item (12" chain saw chain)! When I asked about it, the guy said, 'It's a brand new chain.' So. What good is a chainsaw without a chain? $25 for two hours, but they fail to mention the chain costs extra! This is false advertising. I would not recommend anyone give this company business. If they'll cheat you on a small rental like this, what will they do on larger ones? read more

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! read more

A Tool shed provided me with scaffolding and a pressure washer for a project I did with the city of Campbell. The staff was super helpful and polite: the phones were ringing off the hook but they took the time to answer my questions and review all paperwork before I left. All my deposits were returned promptly and they even delivered my equipment free of charge when it wasn't available at the designated pickup time. A tool shed is super easy to work with and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future. read more

A Tool Shed Equipment Rentals - Machine & Tool Rental Near Me - Campbell, California

I like A Tool Shed. My experience is limited in construction and these guys guys explain me tools and usage patiently.

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! read more

Plenty of equipment choices. Good service, despite being very busy answering the telephones. All went well and the mini-excavator and trailer worked as expected. read more

The staff in the lot helping customers are nice and very helpful. No complain there. However the cashier just didn't know what he was doing. He charged me $100 on Day 1 for a deposit, the rent was supposed to be $75. Day 2, that's when the trick came. He printed out a slip, indicating there was a $25 returning to my credit card. Ok done. But when the credit card bill came, I found out he actually charged me another $25. I reviewed the slip that the cashier printed out, it clearly said, -$25, refund to customer. Here is what I think, the store took advantage of their clientele, who usually are contractors never paid attention to their credit card bills. In this short transaction, I lost $50, for a $75 rental. I decided not to do anything because $50 is not worth my time in running back and forth between the credit card company, the store, and the cashier. But I will never set foot in this store again. And I need to warn future customers, pay close attention to their slips, their charges, and the credit card bills. read more

We needed a large tub tile saw on very short notice when we realized ours would not cut the 24" tile I had purchased. This was Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I called one place and theirs was not working properly. The second place didn't even answer the phone. I called A Tool Shed and I was able to pick up the saw we needed immediately. It was quick, and the saw worked flawlessly-and had a fairly new blade. I would highly recommend them and will call them first next time! read more

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. read more

There is nothing that can set me off faster than being called a lier. Rented a chainsaw. Theres a brake on the chainsaw. Ive had many chainsaws. Non ever had a brake. So Ive got my helper and Ive got some tree branches to trim. Easy stuff. 10 minutes in the chainsaw seems locked up. I take the arm off to see whats jamming it. Nothing. My only choice at this time?Job is over everyone go home. I take the unit back to A-Tool and find out there is a brake. WTH. So Back to the job I go, solo now. Finish at 3:59 pm. No time to return they close at 4:00 I returned on Monday at 10am. Asked to be billed for 1 day not 2. This is where I became the customer that Lies. I knew about the brake I knew all along said the manager in so many words. Tim and staff have always been good to me. This time I got the manager that has no clue that my company has rented exclusively from A-Tool for 25 years. I guess now I know what the 'A' stands for. read more

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 Yelp 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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I'm always working on projects around the house and A Tool Shed is the best. No need to buy an expensive tool that I'll have to maintain and store when I can stop in and rent it for pennies on the dollar. The staff is great. They always demo the tool, walk through the safety instructions, load it up and are nice to work with. Great business. I highly recommend them. read more

I've rented a jack-hammer-type-clay-spade to do some digging in my back yard, a power snake to clean out a clogged drain, and also picked up a carpet cleaner two different times. Every experience has been good. The folks at the store are knowledgeable about the equipment and can give you good advice (e.g. which spade bit to use for clay). They also carry some of the typical consumables (e.g. rug cleaning solution). In particular, they will recommend the best tool for your needs. I ended up renting the larger version of their carpet cleaner the first time (several years ago) as it was the only one available. Recently, I rented again and they steered me to the smaller version, saying it got better suction. They were absolutely correct and my carpets were dry much sooner than my previous experience. Perhaps my technique has also improved the second time around, but I definitely appreciated the advice. If you are renting a carpet cleaner, one word of advice - heat the water on a stove first before putting it into the machine. This will save you lots of time waiting around for the internal heating element to do its thing. Don't be an idiot though - be careful when you pour the hot (almost boiling) water into the machine and don't slip on any that you spill - you are responsible for your own safety. read more

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

We have been coming here for years for all of our DIY home remodeling tool and equipment rental needs.

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. read more
