I recently discovered my local tool library -- seems like a really great idea. For a small annual (suggested) donation, you can borrow just about any tool a homeowner could reasonably expect to use (except heavy machinery, of course). I live in a townhouse with no garage and limited storage space, so I simply can't justify keeping a lot of tools around that I might need again someday. The tool library solves that problem and will definitely save me money vs. buying new or renting at Home Depot.
If you can't borrow a tool or need it semi-regularly, I'd recommend checking out Harbor Freight if there's one nearby instead of going to the local hardware or big box store. Their tools are not the highest quality, but unless you're a contractor or serious craftsperson, they'll probably work just fine at a much lower price point.
