1. Power tools

The first entry on our list of things you can rent are power tools. It’s common practice for consumers to rent a carpet cleaner from a local Lowe’s or Home Depot, but what many people don’t know is that you can rent many other power tools as well.

For example, if you’re going to use that tile saw only once, you should rent it instead of purchasing it. Even tools you use once a year for home improvement projects won’t likely stay in good condition, so it makes sense to rent them.

Lowe’s and Home Depot have a wide range of things you can rent—which can be pretty expensive to buy—and they always come with expert advice on how to use them.

Not only will you save money by renting tools, but you also won’t have to worry that they don’t work or need to be refilled or replaced. That’s because they are always in good shape.

For example, at a Home Depot in Durham, North Carolina, a pressure washer costs $58 for four hours or $83 per day, while a cordless paint sprayer is $25 for four hours or $36 for the day.
