Licences and tool terms
Nothing in the sources found sets a licence for hiring tools, so ask the owner which tools need training or a permit before you collect them. Some tool suppliers offer flexible hire for peak demand, and replacement tools at no cost if one breaks. Ask whether the rental includes consumables, and what happens if a tool is damaged.
Heat, rain and the working day
Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Rain in the wet season can stop outdoor work, so book drills and excavators for the dry days, and plan the heavier work for the cooler hours of the day. Heat is also hard on a battery or fuel tank, so ask the owner how the tool is kept between jobs.
Rental terms and delivery
Rates are quoted per day, and longer hire brings a lower rate per day. Specify the tool, the power, the intended use, the hire period, the quantity and whether you need delivery to Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio. Ask whether a deposit or collateral is needed, and how the deposit is returned.
