Maybe a local hardware store such as Inman Hardware rents one. If you find one, please let us know.

Will do! I’ll add a comment (or maybe a new post) with all the cool resources I find for other DIYers who are avoiding the orange store. 🙃

There’s a Facebook group in Roslindale where people share tools and kitchen stuff. Other neighborhoods or towns might have similar things.

I want a shovel to remove a poorly placed raised bed. I have no need or location for it once I’m done. Are there any places that lend out shovels?
Humorously, when I asked at Home Depot an employee suggested that I buy one, use it, then return it when I was done. I don’t think that is an official corporate recommendation.

Buy nothing groups, one can ask to borrow things also. Most towns have them now on Fb.

Does the Somerville tool library not exist anymore? I used some stuff a few years back. Their website was trash tho

I doubt they’d have it, but the Dover public library has various tools. I don’t think they would have anything pneumatic, but you can ask.
