The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

    With the size of housing units they build in condo buildings these days, who the fuck has any room to store appliances?

    Plus, we live in an era where we produce too much shit anyway and it’s damaging the environment. So by sharing stuff like this, it means we need to produce less.

      Indeed, also it’s much nicer to use a shared high quality tool than to buy an el-cheapo disposable tool.

      Even something simple like a crowbar. I once borrowed a (shorter) professional crowbar after struggling with a (larger) cheap one. The thing I was trying to pry came out like butter.

      Even though physics dictates that a shorter lever should be inferior, it just had a much better design and grip.

      Better for our wallet, sanity and environment.
