🛠 Top 10 Tools You Can Hire from ShellCo (And What They’re Used For)

Hiring tools instead of buying them outright can save you time, space, and money — especially when you're tackling specific jobs that only come up once in a while.

At ShellCo Ltd, we offer reliable tool hire in Stevenage and surrounding areas. Here are the top 10 most hired tools from our range — and exactly what they’re used for.

1. Acro Props & Strong Boys

Used for temporary support during wall removals, RSJ installs, or structural alterations. Essential when installing steel beams or knocking through walls.

2. 110V or Petrol Cement Mixers

Whether you're laying footings or prepping render, our electric and petrol mixers are trusted for all-day use. We supply 110V or heavy-duty petrol models.

3. Wacker Plates

Perfect for compacting sub-base for driveways, patios, and oversites. Available in small and large sizes for all project scales.

4. Plasterboard Lifter

If you're boarding ceilings or tall walls, this makes it a one-man job. Raise and position sheets safely without straining your back.

5. Hydraulic Breakers & Road Breakers

Got a slab to smash through? These tools pack serious punch. Our electric breakers are ideal for controlled demolition on driveways or hardstanding.

6. Tile Cutters & Wet Saws

Available for both ceramic and natural stone, our tile cutters give you clean, professional results — no cracked corners or uneven lines.

7. Grinders (4” & 9”)

Used for trimming, cutting brick, or sharpening tools. Choose your size based on the task — we provide discs too.

8. Circular Saws & Reciprocating Saws

Speed through timber framing, joists, or demolition cuts. Our saws are site-ready and reliable.

9. Chainsaws & Hedge Trimmers

Tidy up overgrown gardens or prep treework with ease. Our petrol chainsaws are regularly serviced for safety and sharpness.

10. Bowser Washer

Pressure washing made mobile. Ideal for cleaning patios, garden furniture, or even tools at the end of a site job.
