Yup - needed a large (9") angle grinder to cut out the hole in a brick
wall for a large new window and lintle. Checked the hire price for a
weekend plus wear costs on a diamond blade. Bought one with diamond blade
for less. And despite it being a cheapie, it's still working fine.


Now try that with a scissor lift, bobcat, JCB, trailer, scaffolding.


Alternative is to buy and sell when finished with.


I bought a cement mixer to do my fence and a shed base. Got it from eBay
for less than £200 from someone doing what you have suggested.

I have since rented it out at a charge of a crate of beer per week when
someone wants to use it or two crates of beer if they want me to drop it
off and pick it up.

I do believe that it has got me over £3000 of beer in the last 10 years.
