Don't buy anything until you check out your FLAPS for what they "rent,"
if they rent anything at all. Around here, I get most of the specialty
tools I need from AutoZone for a deposit fee, which I get back so it's
free. I've gotten pullers, huge sockets, all kinds of stuff from them
over the years. They don't care how long you keep it, either.
