Tool Rental??

dealrocker

I am planing for a DIY project and don't want to buy the tools. Few days back I heard about a tool rental program at Home Depot. But now it’s too late the entries are closed. Just looking for another place from where I can rent the tools for my project.

If you have any ideas, please let me know.

I do not get that? Are you already experienced? You must be.

Personally It takes me longer to learn how to use a tool than would make it beneficial to rent.

When one rents there is always that issue of hurrying up. You are in a fast mode becasue after about 3 days a lot of times you are better off purchasing, depending on what the tools is.

Near me they really do not rent routers and smaller items that can break easily when used by a lot of people. It is even hard to find a simple miter box around here anymore for rental. The tools need to be able to take a beating and a lot of the shop tools we use although can last are not going to last in a rental environment very long. People beat the rental stuff to death becasue it is a rental.

Your area my be simpler to find smaller items. I just do not see how one can learn very much in that type of stress to return the tools by a certain time. I have rented but usually large items I have a specific purpose for like an auger to dig holes etc.

I have the same opinion as Nick

Just my 2 cents

I think renting tools would be a great way to get the job done,,so many go out and buy a router or table saw and find out they don't like it...renting the tool would be a great way to find out if you want to buy that band of router or not..
Many rent outlets have good equipment they don't want to you to be unhappy with the tool..

Many sale off the old tools or when they are no longer can be used safe or are in bad shape..
As far of routers most have many on the shelfs that you can select from the norm..
If you are thinking of buying one that would be a good way to get your hands on one b/4 you put out the bucks for one..
