Terry,
My philosophy on this has always been that if I have to rent an item and I have
to pay a cab to go get it and again to take it back to the rental s hop then
I'll probably be money ahead buying the item from someplace that will deliver
it to me somehow. This "rule" has served me well because just everything I've
bought vis-a-vis this tactic has been needed again at least once. Not that
I've always needed to redo whatever it was I did in the first place, but these
items usually find themselves being quite useful for other projects.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Rent or own, that is the question
Hey all:
Over the past 4 years or so, I've needed a roofing nailer 3 times. If I add
up all the money I've spent on renting one, I
have purchased one for the tool rental company out right. In my mind, I'm
thinking I won't use one enough to purchase one; but,
evidently, this isn't the case. I've wasted about $250 so far. On the other
hand, I don't think I'll need one for the forseeable
future. Unless, I have to replace another roof plumming vent as I did last
weekend. Having a nailer sure makes the job go much
quicker and easier than a hammer and box of roofing nails.
I'm half way tempted to get one the next time I have to do any roof work.
What do you all think?
Terry
