The few times I've gone to hire something it always worked out at least as cheap to
buy one.


Hire of a heavy duty rotavator - £77 for 2 days.

List price is in excess of £2500...

- Sure. There are also LOTS of things where you can get it cheaper AND keep it.

So basically what you're saying is that the only things you've ever thought of hiring,
were things which you could have bought cheaper in the first place.


no

But surely, doesn't that say rather more about you, than the prices being charged
in tool hire shops ?


It tells us that I've wanted tools I didn't have, which is hardly informative. It also tells us you want to be childish about a situation where we all know perfectly well that many things are cheaper to buy than hire, and some aren't.
