Reply With QuoteI used their spring compressor last year on my previous car. I just gave them a $35 - $45 deposit which I got back when I returned the tool.
AutoZone "Loan a Tool" Program...Of course, it's FREE !!!
Just ran into this ads on AutoZone website...
Didn't see anyone previously posted it on the board. Anyway, pls call & check w/ your local AutoZone if they have this program.
(Frankly, I 've never known about this program before. Anyway, I'll give it a try this wk-end for a shock compressor.)
Here the Linky...!!!Loan-A-Tool Program
There's nothing like having the right tool for the job.
That's the idea behind AutoZone's free Loan-A-Tool service. It's the most complete selection of seldom-used, expensive-to-own specialty tools that will help you do the job right. We offer more than 60 different tools for all sorts of jobs - steering and suspension work, air conditioning jobs, engine repair, and more.
Using our Loan-A-Tool service is easy. Just leave a deposit at the store when you pick up the tool. When you're through, just bring it back, and we'll refund the deposit.
A complete listing of the available tools are listed by category in the column on the right. Or stop by your local store and ask an AutoZoner for assistance.
The AutoZone Loan-A-Tool service, one more way we take care of people who take care of their cars

I have a valve spring compressor out from them right now for like $20. Should get it all back upon return.
I don't think they have a time limit either...Anyone know of one?
Previously I had some tools out for over a month IIRC. Returned them no problem.
They get to earn interest on your money while you have it out, plus you might buy parts from them to use also...

Yeah, I rented a spring compressor a few times and had no problems with it. All in all it was a pretty nice deal.

It's a decent program. You buy the tool and they give 90 days to return it for your money back.
