About MeasureTwice

Most tools sit idle in a garage or basement. We think that's a problem worth solving.

Putting tools to work

Good tools shouldn't require a trip to the big-box store or a tool you'll use once and store forever. Measure Twice gives you access to the right equipment—pressure washers, floor sanders, tile saws, and more—without the cost or clutter of ownership. Rent it, use it, return it. Or share your own.

Community

The best part of peer-to-peer rentals isn't always the savings—it's the person on the other end who's happy to share a tip about using the tool, or who genuinely wants your project to go well. We don't promise that every rental becomes a friendship, but we've seen it happen more than you'd expect.

Trust & Reliability

We know that sharing or renting from a stranger requires confidence in the process. That's why every transaction on MeasureTwice is built around clear expectations: vetted community members, verified listings, condition photos, secure payments, and straightforward support when things don't go according to plan. The process should feel as professional as the project.

Chris Rodde

Chris Rodde learned the joy of cutting wood with a Skilsaw from his grandfather who was a carpenter and contractor. Through summers in high school and college, Chris worked a collection of different construction jobs ranging from fence builder, to worksite grunt, to junior carpenter, to Gradall forklift driver. Now, Chris's projects are mostly confined to his house in Seattle and projects that don't require getting too high on the ladder. Chris is excited to build a community where tool owners can connect with those looking for a tool or two to finish a project.
