Home-improvement centers will rent you most, if not all, of the power tools you’ll need for a do-it-yourself project.

And it’s the user, more than the tool itself, that’s the important variable here. When I was growing up, chain saws and rototillers were must-have tools on our farm, where we tended a big garden and had a lot of trees.
As urban homeowners, though, we don’t own either of these tools.
