Speedy Hire
narked:
Our local branch of Hewdens was recently taken over by Speedy Hire. Whilst sat bored at work today I started flicking through the catalogue they sent us, and it's amazing how much these places can try to rip you off. A week's hire on a farm jack (hi-lift/jackall) is £38. 2 weeks rental would buy you a new one! Just made me wonder how much they rip you off on other items.

speedy hire is the biggest tool hire place in the UK now I believe.
I dont get involved in prices, local canal restoration trusts do that part, we just use it all on sites. :lol:

I wouldnt call a rip off - as we get 60% discount on trade prices as their our national supplier :lol:

I always use Speedy Hire/HSS prices as justification to buy my own kit.
Hire a Speedy Hire Welder - £93 a week.
Buy a Machine Mart Welder - £200 to keep.
One decent sized job and it's paid for itself anyway.
:P

I looked at hiring a chainsaw for the weekend from Brandon tool hire. He said he would do me a deal of £50 + VAT and I need a licence to hire it :shock:
I know I can use one cos I have my dads electric one at home but now I recon I'll buy one!
