The Cost to Benefit Ratio.

When you buy a tool have you considered?

• The cash outlay or perhaps credit card interest.
• The potential loss of interest on the money in a savings account.
• Having to store the equipment, no matter how large or small.
• The risk of theft
• Perhaps additional insurance premium or higher excess
• The possible damage to the equipment by children, or indeed accident and injury to children.
• Trying to maintain the tool or equipment yourself; or paying someone else to do so

So is it really worth purchasing a tool without really considering these 'hidden' costs?

When you hire a tool none of the above apply -

• You know exactly what your cost will be
• There is no problem with storage
• The equipment is maintained correctly for maximum safety and efficiency
• It will be of professional standard - not a budget DIY item
• It will be the latest and best in it's class
  
  So the answer is plain and simple . Save money, don't get involved in 'ownership issues' don't buy - hire the tool you need.
