No tools? No problem: Rent online

If so, a Durham man's idea for sharing tools with neighbors might help you save some serious money.

The website, which has attracted about 100 users and dozens of tools since it launched, connects tool owners with locals in need of power tools, like the saw, for which they they have limited use.

Search for the tool you want, and a map appears with the available tools in the Triangle.

Reserve it, and Sharehammer handles the money.

"We hold the payment until the transaction is complete, you've returned the tools and everyone says the tool worked and the tool worked when you returned it," Novi said.

Eric Boggs says it's a great way for neighbors to help other neighbors. He's listed a pressure washer and other power tools on the site.

"It brings people together and money changes hands between people as opposed to big companies, which is kind of a nice thing," he said.

Novi hopes more people turn to Sharehammer when they need a tool temporarily. He hopes to expand the service to other cities.
