They rent hand tools for free, BTW.

rent for net free... get your deposit back when you return the tool.

AutoZone tool rental FTW! I've got a goodly stash of tools, but I typically rent the weird and funky stuff like specialized pullers. And since their rental program does include normal socket and wrench sets, that's even more you can get away without buying if you don't wrench much.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

nope. radiator and AC condenser are still in there. That 4 inch dryer hose is a tight fit. I need to put some peel and stick weather strip in there to prevent rubbing. It's got about 1/4 inch space... but I don't trust it with the redneck job I did to put it in there.
