Why buy something when you can rent? If you're planning on doing a construction project in the near future, you're probably already sweating the budget and trying to cut costs. One of the most effective, smart, and economical ways to save is with tool rental. Rather than buying expensive tools that you may only need for a few weeks, you can rent them for a fraction of the price, and it will allow you to afford use of top of the line products instead of the cheapest available. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing to rent over buying. How does it work? Not all tools work the same way. Just because you used a chainsaw once five years ago, doesn't mean the model that you rent will operate in the same manner. When renting tools, be sure to ask for an instruction booklet or explicit directions from an employee at the shop. Ask questions and have them demonstrate how to turn it on, off, fill with oil or gasoline if needed, and how to use any other available features. Are all the parts present? If you're renting a drill, for example, does it come with all of the bits that you need? Make sure you are not only getting the right instrument for the job, but that it comes with all of the accessories that you need to complete your project. There is nothing worse than getting all the way home from the hardware store only to discover you have to turn around and drive back again. Does it work? Tool rentals are given out to many customers so they may be returned in less than perfect condition. It's important to have an employee demonstrate that the device safely turns on and off. You should check to make sure that it is in good condition as well. If there is rust, sticky parts, or frayed electrical cords insist on seeing another instrument or move on to a better store. What about damage insurance? Investing in damage insurance for all equipment rentals could save you a fortune and is usually quite reasonable. Most tools you choose to rent will be the more expensive ones, so it makes sense to protect yourself from potential damage that can happen on the job. Construction jobs can be dangerous, and even simply dropping a tool can completely destroy it. Remember to be clear on what any insurance offered covers and that the rental tool is inspected carefully beforehand for any preexisting damage. Is it cheaper to buy? Remember that it's only worth it to rent tools if it will be cheaper than buying. Estimate the length of time you need the specific tool and how much it costs to rent. Also, if you plan on using this tool again for future construction projects, it may be better to just invest in purchasing it yourself. Renting tools can save you a lot of money especially if you are not going to use it often.
