Finally caved and bought a $400 pole saw after years of renting, and it's already paid for itself on two jobs.

The rental fees were adding up to about $80 a pop, and having it ready in the truck let me take on a last-minute crown clean-up that my old boss said would have been a hassle.

Renting can still make sense if you only need a tool once or twice a year. Storage space costs money too, and not everyone has a truck to keep gear in. It's a math problem that looks different for every person.

Wait, eighty bucks for a single rental? That's insane, what kind of crazy place were you renting from?
