Some years ago there was a member that tried renting a special tool. Didn't do it for very long. Tool didn't come back timely and was damaged after a few round trips. A deposit of the cost of the tool was needed in case it didn't come back at all. Postage was an add on. Couldn't schedule advance rentals because of the return delays. Member said more trouble than worth. As I recall he never recovered the cost of the tool.
Most jobs that require special tools are not frequent repairs and now there are reasonably priced tools for most of those jobs that work very well. I have found it better to purchase the tool since some of my experience trying to shade tree engineer it take too much time and sometimes caused other damage. I justify the cost of the tool in the labor saving just as you do. And, you can never have too many tools.
