encourages buying things for single use or very short term use and discarding them.

No, that's the opposite of minimalism. Don't buy it if you don't need it. If you do need it, then don't waste money or effort.

What you're describing is a form of capitalism, which has nothing to do with minimalism.

Also, what's wrong with renting or borrowing tools? 🤦
