This really varies. On numerous occasions, I&#x27;ve gone to the rental place, taken one look at the machine, and then immediately left said rental place. Once, I had to wait for the dude to take the brand-new backpack leaf blower out of the box and pour in the first bottle of oil. I had no problem waiting that time. It&#x27;s always a good idea to have the dude start the motor before you load up.<p>Harbor Freight is great for hand tools you&#x27;ll use occasionally, or power tools you&#x27;ll use rarely. There&#x27;s a reason people who use those tools for a living shop elsewhere.
