Know-how before you hire
- Blade choice matters more than the saw. T-shank downstroke for laminate, upstroke for clean-top finish.
- Use a bi-metal blade for anything with nails — carbon steel blades blunt in seconds.
Many of our owners use these tools every weekend and are happy to share a quick tip or two when you collect — never hesitate to ask. It's a friendly community.

Why rent a jigsaw instead of buying?
Buying a jigsaw outright makes sense if you will use it dozens of times a year. For one-off jobs, seasonal work or a single DIY weekend, renting from a neighbour on DIY Toolshare costs a fraction of the price and saves you storing, maintaining and eventually disposing of another tool.
- Lower cost per use. A day's rental is typically 6–10% of the retail price. Most owners use a tool a handful of times a year, so the per-use cost of buying ends up far higher than it looks on the receipt.
- No storage, no maintenance. Tools left in the shed gather dust, rust on metal parts and seized seals — and reclaim valuable space you'd rather use for something else.
- Always the right tool for the task. Rent a light cordless model for the quick job and step up to a more powerful machine for the bigger one. Buying once means compromising on both.
- Lower carbon footprint. One shared tool does the work of ten bought-and-used-once tools.
How renting works
- Search nearby. Enter your postcode and we show jigsaws available within a few miles.
- Book and pay online. Pick your dates, pay securely via Stripe, message the owner.
- Collect and use. Pick up locally and use the tool for the job at hand.
- Clean and return on time. Give the tool a quick wipe-down so the next renter — and the owner — gets it back in the same condition you collected it. Returning when you said you would keeps the community running smoothly.
- Leave a review. Helps future renters and builds trust in the community.
