Rent a cordless drill from a neighbor near you
For one shelf, one piece of flat-pack furniture or one weekend of deck screws, a borrowed drill beats buying a battery platform you will never grow into. Neighbors usually include the bits.
What it costs to rent a cordless drill
Neighbors on Rentsome are listing cordless drills at $18 a day right now. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.
A new cordless drill runs roughly $80 to $250. At about $18 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 9 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a cordless drill: common questions
Does it come with bits?
Usually, but it is listed per item. Check the included items and ask the owner if you need a specific size.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
