Do you rent your tools out?

Never done that but just make sure they leave a deposit for the full price of the tool

Yep - pretty much how AutoZone, Advance and O'Reilly's each do it with their tool loaner program. You buy the tool up front but get full refund when you return... except in your case you'll keep a few beans for the usage.

Good luck

I don't rent my tools out, that would imply letting strangers take my tools away. I do let friends borrow my tools, I know where they live and have their phone numbers and have never been burned. You're right, we do accumulate some pretty specialized tools for working on our Porsches, I work on hybrids, too. It requires a special harness and proprietary (tho pirated) software. And a special harness and two electronic boxes for conditioning the batteries.

I have a set of star drive sockets, cheap from HF, but so important to working on the Porsche. Factory reman'd engines from Porsche have all the hex fasteners replaced with star drive fasteners. Yech! Wish I had Durametric, too spendy at present, tho.
