One of the worst excesses of DIY has to be single household tool
proliferation. So, this sort of thing:

Just an ideologically left-wing way of putting the toolhire companies
out of business.


Not even sure it would do that. Its a nice idea, but its questionable
how well it can work in reality. I can see that it will make available a
large pool of low quality cheap tools. (let's face it, if you are buying
top quality kit, are you likely to lend it to just anyone without having
a reasonable idea that they will treat it well and return it in good
condition?)
