Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• Short-Term Projects: If your decluttering service is a one-time event, renting equipment can be more cost-effective.
• Specialized Tools: For equipment that you won’t use frequently (like a dolly), renting can be a practical choice.

When to Purchase

• Customization Needs: Owning your tools allows you to customize and modify them as per your specific needs.

Safety Equipment

• Safety Goggles: Essential when dealing with items that may splinter or shatter.
