We’ve been trying from the start of Tool Hire to reach as many orders as possible, but the tools are in demand and we have been limited by how far our Tool Hire van can make it in a day.

We have had some really keen potential Tool Hireys contact us from the far North of Scotland and over the water in the Republic of Ireland, and it has always been a shame when we have had to say that we can’t get the tool to them. We’ve also had some absolute chancers from Australia and the US who will have to wait until Gimp goes on his holidays.

So, it was really nice this week when Kelvin (our master of the Tools) made one of those unfortunate calls and found out that Laura from Aberdeen was so keen to hire a tool she was willing to come and join us for an afternoon of Photo Booth action on the streets of London.

Laura, we are really looking forward to seeing your Photographer handiwork.

In other giffgaff news, Captain Stress Relief has been spotted providing some tactile respite from the snowy conditions on the mean streets of Bristol. Things got so bad that the Captain himself took a tumble on the ice. And I think it is the measure of a true superhero that he has not edited out that gaff from the final take.

The tool shedders returned in various states of disrepair yesterday morning to kick start a new year of tool hiring. The general consensus in the shed is that 2009 was brilliant, but 2010 is a new decade, so it is time to take Tool Hire to a new level.

When film directors and screen writers in the 70s and 80s looked forward to 2010 they envisioned hover boards and laser guns, sadly, although our skills are many in the shed, these inventions are still not here. In the meantime though what could be better than a good old cycle powered gramophone, or a superhero who can take away the nation’s post holiday blues.

Christmas may be over, but it’s giving spirit lives on in Tool Hire. Go on, spread a bit of peace, love and madness in 2010.

And to kick start things with some panache here is some caricature artistry from Mr William Gordon.

On our Tool hire travels we have met some of the internet's mover's and shaker's. We're not talking about the founders of google or that bald guy who invented the internet, oh no, we're talking about people like AmazingPhil. The guy who's prefix changes depending on the strength of his videos (hearsay).
We gave the man a tool and he ended up making this. Phil, your prefix is due for a promotion.


How did your mate do in his bear exam?

First it was Poo Handler now it's Captain, sorry, Cap'n Stress Relief Yo. Thanks to Ravey Davey for making us all laugh and some of us cry with your Oxford Street antics. Loving the bit at the beginning, although initially we started to wonder if you'd got the wrong end of the stick.

If anyone wants a good example of what they can do with a tool and how to edit a great video then have a squidge at this.

Davey you're a legend and we hope you enjoy your year's worth of free calls, yada yada.
Fancy hiring out another tool perchance?
