Thank you sir. It's very simple. It's either renting or buying. One method dictates returning the item, regardless of any monies exchanged. it's not a real complicated concept. When you walk through the grocery store and grab 1 grape from the produce stand, that's not stealing, correct? Your just "sampling", right? Doesn't really matter though because grocery stores are owned by the large, evil corporations, right? They make too much money already, right? And you wonder where our kids get their morals from.

Yes it is very simple 
Bring it back, you were just renting it
Keep it and you are buying it.
RENT or BUY, its your choice!
Its the new way the chains are making more sales, its not a real complicated concept to grasp!
Well you wouldnt think, anyways.
Its not a Moral issue at all.
I feel its a Great Sales Tactic myself!
Its the Stores new policies.
CALL them yourself. Auto Zone, Oreillys, or Advanced.

Now I'm thinking about checking out a new Chevy Malibu. 
The tools in question can either be kept brought back it is the person is doing the job choice as to what he wants to do!
if the store do not replenish the items that is the store issue not those who rent /loan and decide to keep the tool, not stealing part of the stores comitment to provide service and a way to sell tools or have them returned for others to use ,
you realy need to be reeducated on what stores do and why they do,
your paying for the tool, the store makes millions of dollars yearly off rental tools!

Exactly!!!it's not rocket science folks,if it was I can see we would be doomed to fail. The retail cost of the item is charged up front. Whats so hard to comprehend??? No wonder folks rely of Fox news to help them guess what's going on.

Who said they sold some great made in USA(if there are such thing) sockets? Common sense says when you enter a parts store you will get junk. Sorry if that is not news but to me it is logic.

Mr p body,, the tools are bought through companies that make a lot of tools you buy and pay more for,,
When Autozone first came out with the Duralast name branding,, those tools was made by Blue Point, the customer division of Snap On brand tools,
The same goes for Advance,
Granted almost all tools made now are made overseas, but the quality has risen a lot , can you get sub par tools From them ? Sure it is like any other item ,,, failures do happen.
I do not understand why some are taking issue over RENTAL/LOANER/PURCHASE of tools??
Best thing for those whom do not understand that concept need to go to the stores that do it, and ask,, look over some of the tools some are very very good quality, and the prices are very good whether you rent it ,, or keep it !

Last Wednesday night at the weekly car guy get together which was held at our buddy Dan's house we talked about this thread and renting tools/sockets. What Dan had to say is relevant because Dan is an Autozone Store Manager. He said, He can sell you a crap socket that is guaranteed to be a piece of crap for $10. Once you open the package you cannot return it. As he said, more than likely it will break on you also. He can rent you a better quality socket for $15. He said you can choose to return the socket or keep it. If you keep the socket it's fine buy them because Autozone corporate would rather have a $15 sale than refunding your deposit. They get a sale profit rather than a no profit rental. Does that make sense now?
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
