I've rented tools from Home Depot and regretted it. The prices they charge are sufficiently high that you're typically better off buying instead of renting if you think you're ever going to use that tool again at all. Or, even cheaper still, is buying the relevant tool used off Craigslist, in which case you can generally use it for free, and sell it back for what you paid for it if you don't end up needing it again.
