Tool rental or loaning program for members

I wouldn't rent a damn thing for a "small fee". Where's the incentive to return it? I would rent something for the full purchase price, plus shipping and return that when I got my tool back. Renter paying return shipping, of course. That way, if it does not come back, it's paid for. Why in the hell would I rent for a "small fee"? That puts ME as the only one taking a chance. No thank you.
I was thinking the same thing
That's how advance auto does it here I just rented a slide hammer to do my rear axle bearings and seals it was 187 dollars and I get refunded when I turn it back it.
