There are already places that rent tools. And some of us buy power tools because we want to have it easily available for use. A well cared for, high quality tool will last a lifetime, so just because I might not use it every day doesn’t mean that I am not going to enjoy years of use. As far as tools that are actually rarely used (a trench digger for example,) that what rental shops are for. Why should government get into the rental business? There are already those types of businesses in place and they’re great: people that care about renting power tools can pay to rent power tools without requiring literally the entirety of society to support their ability to rent power tools. As far as clothes — there are already resale shops that are really efficient at this. If you want to further improve sustainability, then provide tax cuts for those types of businesses to provide them incentives to keep operating and to be able to provide lower prices. The point is that everything you describe already exists in the private sector.
