The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

    It only cost me $50, which I got back, to rent a table saw for a day. The big machines, like a backhoe, are expensive. The smaller tools ain’t shit; most are under $50 for a day.

      Huh? You’re getting your money back? I’ve rented things from Home Depot and there’s a security deposit you get back, but you still pay to actually rent the tool.

      I think you’re mistaken…they refund security deposits, but there is a separate fee that scales with how long you keep the equipment. Maybe go back and check your receipts
