Tool & Truck Rental at The Home Depot

Tool rental spots thrive along Brooklyn’s commercial strips, filling gaps between big-box home improvement chains and local building suppliers. Like most, this one operates inside a Home Depot—however, it carves out its own lane with a separate storefront facing Gateway Drive’s busiest side. Strollers and contractors swap routes here, each relying on the same address: 579 Gateway Dr, Brooklyn, NY 11239.

From power tools and lawn equipment to heavy-duty ladders and air compressors, the service covers the spectrum most renters need at short notice. Tape measures and drop cloths sit alongside concrete mixers and tile cutters, arranged for quick pickup and return through a dedicated counter. One call handles it all, including delivery reservations when larger items won’t fit in a trunk. Practical touches like floor sanders and pressure washers round out the menu without flash or fuss. The phone number, engraved on every receipt, stays handy: (718) 348-2369.

Finding it is as simple as following the red-and-orange signs flank the parking lot. Once inside, the tools line up in numbered bays, ready for anyone with a Home Depot account or a government-issued ID. Book a day ahead or walk right in—either way, the maps show the fastest route. At the end of the trip, you’ll know exactly where you parked.
