Rent or buy? The decision that makes the difference

At Almuco, this is one of the questions we hear most often. And no wonder: choosing between renting or buying a tool may seem simple, but it has a direct impact on your wallet, your space, and your way of working.

🛠️ When to rent?

Renting is ideal when:

• You will use the tool occasionally or for a single project.

• You don't want to worry about maintenance, storage or transportation.

• You are looking to save money without sacrificing professional quality.

Real-life example: A client needed a pressure washer to clean his facade. Instead of buying one that he would use once a year, he rented one for less than €25, with consulting included.

Result: a job well done, without unnecessary expenses.

🧰 When to buy?

Buying makes sense when:

• You will be using the tool frequently or continuously.

• You want to always have it on-hand, without depending on schedules.

• You are willing to assume the maintenance and initial cost.

Real life example: A professional painter who rented ladders every week decided to buy one.

Result: In less than two months, the investment had already been amortized..
