The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

      Huh? You’re getting your money back? I’ve rented things from Home Depot and there’s a security deposit you get back, but you still pay to actually rent the tool.

      I think you’re mistaken…they refund security deposits, but there is a separate fee that scales with how long you keep the equipment. Maybe go back and check your receipts
