085: Buying vs Renting Tools

Should you buy or rent tools?   This question has come up several times in our HRT community.   Always compare the price to rent with the price of the tool then estimate how long you’ll need the tool.   For example, my buddy Tim needed an electric jack hammer.    He could rent it for $75 a day or buy one for $154. If he needed it for more than 2 days he should just buy the jack hammer.   If you want to recoup some of the money you can sell your tool over on Craigslist.    Listen to the show for all the details on this topic.       Don’t forget…you can join our free Home Repair Tutor Facebook Group if you’re a do-it-yourselfer   https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/         HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!   If you liked today’s show please subscribe in iTunes and write us a review!
