Dawson Street Developing I love Handy Andy's. Trucks always available, great prices, never had any issues with any of our truck rentals. Have been renting from them for 10 years. As a leading Real Estate Company, I have no Complaints. One of the benefits unlike commercial rental companies, they allow 24 hour rentals without a fuss. You pick up at 3 your return at 3 the next day with no hassles. I have returned a few hours late and they were understanding, no extra fee's. I had also a few emergencies were I needed to keep the truck several days beyond my contract I had no issues. I would definitely recommend. For other contractors we recommend please feel free to visit my site at www.dawsonstreetdeveloping.com

I've rented from Handy Andy several times, I've decide to move on to more expensive, but less dangerous providers. The truck I just rented had a defective Parking Brake (not a good thing), a drivers-side mirror that would move in a strong wind (literally), and AC that didn't work (OK, maybe I'm getting picky on this one). I allow rented an auger that kept going dead - even with the fuel position correct. Net is that the quality is a little shoddy, but the prices are pretty good. They gave me a "discount" on the auger when I complained. Lastly, some of the folks at Handy Andy are quite pleasant and patient with people who only rent these types of tools on a sporadic basis. However, a few of them give the distinct impression that you are bothering them with your mere presence... Seems like a lot to go through. Next time I'm trying a different outfit and see if it works out better.

I'll rent a truck this week and write more about that but the truck price is quite a bit less than other main line move companies, so you should call handy Andy as one of your move truck bids. For various other rentals--I rented a roto-hammer drill to make some holes in the concrete wall of my basement--Handy Andy's is a good place. Aurora rents on 175th in Shoreline is also a good place for general rentals. Both of these places were suggested to me by the folks at Dunn Lumber.

I have rented from Handy Andy a total of 2 times, with this last time being my final. On my second trip, I rented their typical 14' box truck and had to drive it about 100 miles round trip. The truck had the typical steering wheel behavior with about 20 degrees of movement either way, yet you are still going straight. Not only that, but I seem to remember the check engine light being on, and it wasn't like these were new trucks anyway. Overall, I was okay with the rental until I got to the gas station. Filling up with gas - no big deal, right? Well, I started filling it up, and I noticed gas coming OUT below the truck, near the gas tank neck part. After that scary fiasco, I will never be renting from them again. Personally, I think you take your chances with safety and its kinda ghetto from the get go. On the other hand, if you want something cheap, and you won't be traveling far, then this is your place.

This is the place to go to rent a truck - their prices are good, the service is efficient (although you might wait in line a bit at the end of the month) and the trucks run fine, even if they're not super attractive. They've also got a large inventory, so you've got a good chance of reserving something, even on a busy weekend.

Handy Andy is the cheapest best option in my book for Tool and Truck rentals. Their staff will help you figure out what tool you need if you’re not sure, and make sure you know how to use it before you leave the lot. It can get a little crazy first thing in the morning—consider parking on the street instead of getting parked in the parking lot. They have every tool I could ever need, and don’t need to buy thanks to them.

I have never used them, but I know that they have a huge array of rentals (trucks and otherwise) and that their prices are reasonable. When I talked to someone at Home Depot, even they recommended going to Handy Andy. The one on Aurora is the one that I know of, but I think there may be others in the city.
