Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• One-time Project: If you only need the equipment for a single clearing session, renting can save you money.
• Specialized Tools: Tools that you might not use frequently, such as a jackhammer or large sledgehammer, are often better rented.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Use: If you plan to do regular house clearings or renovations, investing in your own tools is more cost-effective.
