Co-operative power tools!!!!!

I'm not sure whether to post this here or in waste and recycling.  Not even sure if this is at all in the spirit of Mastt.  Here's the thing...... we struggle with space in our house and don't want to keep acquiring stuff which is needed for one or two jobs.  Just recently I did just that when I bought a rotary tile cutter so that I could tile the kitchen.  Currently we are struggling to keep the mega-long grass at bay on the paths at the allottment and hubby keeps wanting to buy a petrol stimmer.  I'm doing my best but with two young kids I just don't have the time to keep at it with a scythe.  We don't need one much anyway, just three or four times in summer.  I'm sure there are other tools which come into this category - carpet cleaners maybe, rotavators etc.  Primarily I'm wondering if anyone has a petrol or cordless strimmer we could borrow but also wondering if anyone else thinks it might work for people to list the items they have for people to use so that they can be shared.  We are more than happy for our tile cutter to be used any time.  It's unlikely to be used again by us unless we more house.  Cheers F
