The benefits of RENTING Big Tools

 Doing things yourself is supposed to save money. So starting a job by spending money on rental equipment might seem like a step in the wrong direction. But before you bypass your local rental center, consider how much time and strain you can save with the right tools. You might find that spending $50 to avoid 10 hours of backbreaking labor is a bargain. The right equipment also lets you tackle jobs that you would otherwise have to pay a pro for. And don’t forget the fun factor. 

A typical electric leaf blower throws out about 70 cu. ft. of air per minute (cfm). A commercial-grade Optimax unit throws out an enormous amount more force. With all that extra power, you can clear leaves faster, of course. But a LW Optimax blower will also do things a smaller blower can’t: It will peel wet leaves off the ground, blast out debris that’s stuck in cracks and move a mountain of leaves in one pass. And with the gas engine, you can do it all more comfortably than with  pulling along an electrical cord.

Get What You Pay For

You can rent most power equipment for 4- hour, 8- hour or by 5- Day Periods.

 Here are some tips to help you make the most of the rental period:

*Remember that the rental period includes your drive time to and from your project. If the machine requires a trailer, also factor in time to unload the machine and reload it when the job is done. That can eat up 30 minutes or more of your rental time.

*Ask about delivery services. Having the rental center deliver and pick up the machine may cost $85 or more. But since the rental period won’t include drive time, loading or unloading, you have more time to actually use the equipment. Delivery service may save you money in the long run.

*Make sure the rental center staffers show you how to start and use the equipment. Then try it yourself before you drive away. That way, you avoid learning and making mistakes during the rental period.

*Be ready to use the machine the minute you get home. You can waste a lot of money letting the rental equipment sit idle.
