We are building a fence (by we, I mean, my SO) and needed a power post hole digger to break through some heavy mud, rocks and shells. The machine was a little over $50, and we had it from Saturday through Monday. Machine worked well, pickup was fast, return was easy. On to the next home project! read more

See all

Rented a floor scraper/stripper...because they are lazy, they left the metal grommet, instead of changing it out for a plastic one...the wires were exposed from "wear and tear" and when I went to turn it off...I was hit by 110. When I went to return...they could care less about that and just gave me another machine. Another company that doesn't care about their equipment and always has a "loophole". Make sure you check everything before you leave. Oh yeah...make sure your ID matches where you live because they're about as serious as buying a firearm read more

Not recommended tools are very old and the sales guy Juan Rodriguez gives a lots of problems with old junk tools.. Rent at Aztel Rental better equipment newer and better guaranteed.. read more

I needed a 40ft extension ladder for some bird removal from my dryer vents. North Main Tool rental was fast, easy to pick and return and was a great price! I found them on Yelp and the experience was awesome!! I returned the ladder early Monday morning and the owner had seen me pull up and already had my paperwork ready. I Highly recommend them if you are looking for a great personalized rental experience. read more

These guys are the best. As a local small business owner, I support other small businesses. This is the old school customer service service spot where they treat you like an actual person. It's nice to do business with folks that value your business. If they don't get it right the first time, they'll fix it at no cost to you. read more

I was having problems finding a good and inexpensive small engine repair shop in Heights for my lawnmower until I found NMTR. Roy first took the time to explain what the issues might be if I wanted to try to fix my lawnmower on my own, but instead I opted to not waste my time and have them do it. In less than a day my mower was ready and I must say that the service and price were optimal. Will be back again for sure, either to rent or fix the stuff that I break on the weekends. read more

I'm a contractor mainly in the Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest area, and when possible, I like to keep business local - that's why in the past I've rented equipment from NMT. However, this last experience will be the last! I rented a nail gun for a week, and after that week I called to say I had been hurt and wouldn't be able to bring the gun in and that I needed a couple extra days. I also mentioned that it had been misfiring (not shooting a nail, but still leaving a deep dent in the wood). When I returned the gun a few days later (total of 10 days), I had them try it, and 1 out of the 9 he shot also misfired. I showed pictures of what the gun had done and explained the cost I had to cover replacing those materials. I said I had no problem paying for the rental, but I feel some sort of discount was in order. They refused. I asked to just purchase it outright since they sell it for $229 and they were charging me $239, but again, not willing to do that either, because as the owner explained, he makes more money off of rentals - not sales. I had to pay $10 more to rent it hen I would have if I'd bought it, and cover the cost of what their tool ruined. For me, this showed a complete lack of professionalism to a repeat customer. read more

They repaired my two year-old Toro twice in the same month. Only charged me once and gave me sound advice about how to care for my lawn mower now that ethanol in gasoline is around. Simple carburetor clean-up, but that led me to understanding much more about what I should avoid, and also how to perform the repairs myself. Stand-up business with old-school morals. The mechanic even let me borrow one of his personal tools and just asked me to bring it by later when I was done. I never asked, he just offered. They are no longer in the mower-repair business, but I will definitely see them when I am need of renting a machine. Their inventory is wide and plentiful. read more

Awful awful awful awful place I came to rent a machine a paint sprayer from North main rental they had a beautiful paint sprayer in the front entrance when I asked him what type of machine I was getting they pointed that one out after I paid them they told me someone would bring it outside to wait outside so I did an employee came outside with a old old old paint sprayer that it would have stuff being held together with glue they bootlegged hoses on it and the tire came off of it when I was using it at work while spraying a client's home the paint sprayers tip of the gun shot paint everywhere and got it all over my client's roof I tried to return to North main rental to let them know what was going on with the machine they brushed me off they said the machine was working fine !! awful place very awful I wasn't even up there trying to fight with them over getting any money back or anything like that I was just simply letting them know so that they wouldn't accuse me of messing the machine up and trying to charge me for it or some other poor soul that comes and rents a paint sprayer receives this paint sprayer like I did but no they didn't even want to hear anything they just brushed me off !!!! I will never rent from North main tools again and I hope that my review will help others from making the terrible mistake that I made!!!! read more

On 12/18/2015 I went to rent a stump grinder and presented my credit card which had my business address on it and it did not match my TX DL. The service person refused to accept it and then asked me for another credit card that would match my DL and I presented to him after a few minutes, later he stated that his insurance would not cover me and refused me service. I went to Home Depot with the same credentials and rented the equipment for a cheaper price, and without the rudeness of the sales representative who wasted my time and effort in trying to give my business to a mom and pop business. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

This is my go-to rental place. Knowledgeable folks and good advice. Never have had a problem with any equipment that I have rented from them. Cheaper/better than Home Depot.. I really like the 1 day rental from Saturday to Monday. read more

I've rented from them for 10+ years and they've always been great to deal with. Highly recommend them.

I rented a metal detector and a pipe probe. Both items were defective. The metal detector switch was broken and although it turned on, it continuously buzzed and it was not finding metal when you were right on top of it. The pipe probe handle fell off after pulling out of the ground a couple times. It had been glued together. It caused me to waste the afternoon of work. I complained when I returned it a couple hours later and asked for a discount. The senior guy at the counter who rented it to me, was very patronizing and acted sly like he knew they were defective, and I was a stupid woman who could be fooled by his BS excuse. I do not recommend renting their products, and I do not trust them to treat anyone fairly. read more
