Peer to peer · Australia
The gear is already in the street. Coming soon.
Peer-to-peer hire for tools, equipment, trailers, heavy machinery, and more — neighbours, mates, and local operators.
Launching soon
Peer-to-peer tool hire across Australia
Tooly is a marketplace for hiring tools, trailers, plant and equipment from people nearby. Neighbours, mates and local operators list idle gear. You search a suburb, request dates, and pick it up after the owner accepts. Same account can hire and list. Payments go through Stripe. The street stays private until then.
Big-box hire shops are fine when you need a fleet. Most jobs need one machine for a weekend. Tooly is for that job — a trailer in Marrickville, a mini excavator on the Gold Coast, a pressure washer in Fremantle.

Questions
What is Tooly?
A peer-to-peer hire marketplace for tools, equipment, trailers and heavy machinery. You deal with the owner. Tooly is the marketplace — we are not a party to the hire and we are not an insurer.
Can I hire and list with the same account?
Yes. One signed-in account can hire gear and list gear. There is no separate supplier signup.
Why is only the suburb shown?
Public pages show suburb and an approximate pin so people cannot rock up from the map. The exact street is shared after the owner accepts.
Is the gear insured?
No. Tooly is not an insurer and does not sell hire insurance. You and the owner are responsible for the gear and any cover you need.
