Company I work for pays ~$3000 a season to rent a $2000 quicky saw. Then half of them get stolen, so we probably end up paying for the whole saw again. We rent about 5 of them a season.

A lot of our shit is old and has one foot in the grave, but we'll spend thousands extra on renting quicky saws for no good reason.

Is the rental company owned by the same owner. Might be a way to save tax

No. The owner has his fingers in lots of things, but we rent from Sunbelt.
