This is way off topic, thanks to a moron that makes a post calling someone a thieve that he knows nothing about. Why don't the mods kick people like this off for posting on topics that have nothing to do with the topic.

Stanton:
Well folks there you have it, I have all the proof I need. They do let MORONS on these sites!!!!!!!!

Justinp61:
Yes it is meant to be that way. They charge you the retail price + sales tax and if it is not returned in a couple days they order in a new one. I know this for sure at AZ and Oreillys. They offer the rental program to keep the real thieves from buying a tool using it and returning it. if the renter decides he likes the tool and wants to keep it, he has already paid for it. I just had a conversation with my local Oreilly parts store manager [also a former AZ employee], about this and he says rent and return for a 100% return of $$$$ or keep it if you wish.

My post was letting the original poster know he can use a decent tool for free or buy it for a reasonable price rather than pay for a pretty much useless HF tool.

BTW if anyone is at the same race track as me and needs a 1 5/16" socket I have one in the trailer that you are welcome to use, except Stanton

So if someone borrows your socket and decides to keep it that's o.k. under your set of morals right

Did you miss the part where you have to leave a deposit to rent the tool and the deposit is enough to cover the cost of the tool (in this case a socket)?

If a person buys a socket from the parts store uses it once and then returns it for a full refund it's no longer a new item and can't be sold a such.

If they have a rental tool and someone rents it once they've paid for the tool in most case (a socket especially).
The next time it's rented it's pure profit.
If the tool renter decides it's better to keep it for the deposit price (which is usually enough to cover it's replacement at the parts store) the store simply replaces it with one off the shelf.

The store essentially sold a used socket and got paid for a new one.

It's not a hard concept to grasp.
The "concept" some of you can't seem to grasp is a verbal or written agreement that you are renting a tool with the understanding that you will return it when you are done.Thieves are too ignorant or unskilled to make the money to buy the tool they need, either that or they lack the moral compass to honor a contract ,which category do you fall into?
