I've rented numerous pieces of outdoor construction equipment from Central Tool for the last two years (Vermeer chipper/shredder, Vermeer Dingo, Bobcat T590, Bobcat S175) and was always very pleased with the quality of the equipment and the friendly service. One way to tell whether or not you've done business with a good company is how they treat you when things don't go swell; case in point: I recently rented a Vermeer Dingo and threw the tread while in my creek (my fault). They dispatched their onsite maintenance team to fork it out with a T590, and then left the T590 behind for me to use (about 3x capacity). Because of their promptness and courtesy, I was still able to place 76 yards of fill dirt and contour it before the (vestigial hurricane) torrential rains came this weekend. This was a big deal because that dirt was placed to stop my home from flooding due to the nearby creek. read more

I've rented equipment from Central Tool Rental starting back in the 90's. In 2004 I moved and continued to rent off and on from Central tool. Many circumstances due to my location lead me to rent from other rentals throughout Southwest Ohio. Doing so I've experienced many break downs, accidental rental reservation headaches the day of pickup and the lack of care and service from other rentals. I was always caught wasting my time fixing other rentals equipment.....with complete disregard for safety and care. So many negative experiences lead me to now rent ONLY from Central Tool for ALL my rentals no matter the distance. Their equipment is always updated, clean, and fully operational as expected rental after rental. No BS, they are upfront with the costs and willing to do what they can to load, unload and most of all they take the time to build a relationship. Central Tool Rental should be rated teh best rental ever! if you don't think so you might be stupid or just a dumb individual that can't operate machinery bigger than a weed eater! My opinion anyway...... read more

We have been using central tool rental for all of our rentals, buy all of our Stihl products from them, and have them service our equipment there for the past 10 years. They are always very courteous and take very good care of us. We buy several blowers, weed eaters, chain saws, and backpack sprayers there every year. When we have a problem with equipment, they always give us a straight answer on what they can do to fix it or if it would better to just buy a new one. Their charge for service is very reasonable as well. Even when they don't have the equipment we need to rent, they give us a recommendation to where we can find what we need. read more

This is really a review about their service and the fact that they're also a STIHL dealer. When you purchase a STIHL product, you expect a good product. Not one that won't start after only owning it and using it twice in seven months. So when you take your FS 45 trimmer in because it won't start, you don't expect to be told you have to pay $70 right off the bat, told they don't care about your warranty and that NO, they won't look you up in the computer. By pulling the cord on my trimmer twice, they decided I was at fault because of "bad gasoline" (First off, it's pre-mix - I don't just pour straight gasoline into my gas/oil mix trimmer!!!). They were no interested in hearing anything other possibility and basically I was treated as a stupid person who couldn't possibly understand the big words they were using in regards to small engines. So I left. And I fixed it myself. A bad spark plug. That should have been covered under the warranty but the guys at Central Tool Rental in Reading had no use for me. They wanted my money. They got it the first time when I bought the trimmer, they won't be getting any from me from now on. I advise you to stay away if you can. read more

I have been doing business with Central for about 40 year. I was a builder, but am now retired. They have always been my first stop for a tool or equipment that I did not own. They have always been proffesional, helpful, and fair with me. If by chance they did not have what I needed they always sent me to where I could find it. Theey have serviced equipment for me even though I did not purchase it from them. I have bought many parts from theem over the years. A BUSINESS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND & ENJOY DEALING WITH read more
