There are so many things to love about Columbia City, and the Southeast Seattle Tool Library is…read morejust one of them. I was replacing some parts on my car and needed a socket wrench for a quick five minute job. It didn't make sense to buy one if I could avoid it. This tool library saved the day. I showed up on Saturday morning and got the wrench I needed in no time flat. The tool was in amazing condition, and I was happy to make a small donation to keep things going. The people that run the tool library are also incredibly nice. Thank you for doing this!

We have been members for a couple of years and I just want to echo what everyone else has written…read more The tools are stellar and the volunteers are fabulous. I have not one negative thing to say. I thought I'd add that they have been wonderful to roll with all the punches that 2020 has thrown. Covid, wildfires etc., they've still found a way to get us access to tools safely when it would be so much easier to just shut down. Thank you!!! The most productive thing that has come out of this quarantine for us (other than our newborn :) is finally building and installing closet shelves and fixing up our yard before the baby arrived. Couldn't have gotten through the nesting process or kept as sane as possible without the tool library.

Pacific Rim does it gain! Please bear with me and this little incident....I'm doing yard work, so I…read morewent to the big box hardware store (initials start with Ho) for some shears and figured since I'm there I might as well go to the tool rental and rent the lawn equipment that I need. Big big mistake. The person at the counter asks me for my Clear ID. What do you mean Clear ID? "You need a Clear ID to rent this equipment, its easy to fill out if you don't have one". I hesitate and say ok, I'm here, let's do it. First they take a photo (both sides) of my drivers license. Then they want my email address, home address, and phone number. Then they take a picture of my face. Then they insists on my social security number. We are now at the 45 minute mark, I'm ready to explode. We haven't even gotten to my credit card yet. The lady next to me is going thru the same thing to rent a Jack Hammer and she's ready to punch someone in the face. They then send a code to my email that I need to retrieve to enter into their dashboard and it FAILS. "I'm sorry sir, not sure what happened, we'll have to start over" This is the same Clear ID people that collect your data at the airport so they can sell it. This is such an intrusion and a waste of time and a real slap in the face. I tell the person at the counter "I quit, I'm outta here and I want all of my data deleted." He informs me that I have to call Clear and ask them to do it. %#^$%@$...I tell the lady next to me she can get that same Hilti Jack Hammer at Pacific Rim Tool Rental for about half the price. I know because I rented one there. Jack Hammer lady is already talking to Pacific Rim on her phone as I leave the Home Disaster exit and head over to Pacific Rim Equipment Rental, which is where I should have gone in the first place.. I walk in, Jim at the counter asks me what I need. I tell him, he asks for my ID and credit card. We are literally walking out to the tool yard in just over 1 minute!!!. The costs is actually less than half the cost of HD. Pacific Rim is my fav place and I've been going here for years. They're good people and no BS. Don't let your brain short circuit like mine did above. Take the time to drive 1/2 a mile and go where it's easy, save money, and you're appreciated. Sigh...

Pacific Rim rental has always been my go-to for various home projects; mini excavators, man-lifts,…read moreskid-steer loader, jack hammer & air compressor, compactor, post hole digger. I've rented all these over the many years. And I've always highly recommended them to friends. Sometimes I have it delivered, sometimes I'll pick it up. I called to rent a 40' extension ladder ($40/day) and asked about delivery because I don't have a pickup truck. $400! $400 for a $40 rental delivery 4 miles away. Yeah, ok. If they didn't want to deliver just say so; don't insult me with a completely absurd delivery fee. No more recommendations to friends. Whenever someone asks about equipment rental I'll be sure to mention how Pacific Rim Equipment gouges pricing for minor rentals. And yes, I'll go rent a ladder and haul it myself, because I can, it's just an inconvenience. But not renting from Pacific Rim. Ever again.

I think these guys are AWESOME!! We switched to these guys when another company messed up on a few…read morethings a couple time that ended up costing us time. And we all know what time is. Anyway, They had what we needed when we needed it so as I waited for the price I was thinking it was gonna cost a lot more. They basically knew they had us in a pinch. So you can imagine I was pretty blown away when it come out to over 350.00 LESS than I've been paying. They deliver on time and there just isn't any issues. The lifts are nice and safe and the people are probably safe but I know for sure they're nice!! I can't find one thing they haven't done better than every other company!!!! If I find something I'll be sure to let you know! In the mean time, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK STAR RENTALS!! Oh and I couldn't help but notice the 1 star reviews. That really surprised me so I read as long as I could but had to stop cuz I hate being remind how st**id people are. Dude, do you know the actual trip to drop off whatever your renting isn't what cost the rental company all the time and $$$. SAFETY IS WHATS COSTING YOU SO MUCH Genius! It takes them a very long time to get all the chains out, get the trailer ready to accept the ---- (fill in the blank). Then they gotta chain that huge sucker down so when your bad driving nearly causes an accident that thing doesn't move an inch. Then they gotta do the opposite when they get to you. Oh wait, GUESS WHAT, now they gotta get it back so guess what they gotta do now?? Do I really need to type it all out again?? Probably but, we're gonna let you use your imagination. Anyway, the actual trip is the easy part cuz they've already planned for everything so they can deliver your equipment without even causing a scratch to anything!! That's impressive! Keep it up Star!!
