Before you go on your next home-improvement shopping spree, ask yourself: do you really need to buy that reciprocating saw?
That’s not to say you don’t need to use the tool, but maybe you don’t need to actually purchase it. In some cases, it actually makes more sense to rent a substantial power tool than it does to buy. Stores like The Home Depot and Lowe’s charge by the hour, half-day, full day, week and even by the month for tool rentals. There’s usually a wide selection of professional-quality, name brand tools at your disposal.
