Look up the rental price of a socket and paying the shipping to receive the socket and also to return the socket and that fact that you need a tracking number both ways or you cannot prove what happend to the socket during shipping.

Even the tracking number is not a help. I had a $99 car part stolen from my porch because that is where USPS put it (on or around the mail box). But, the tracking number covered the sellers butt so I could not say the seller did not ship the item.

In short in this particular case you can own the socket for the price of the rental.

If someone was particular enough that they wanted to use the Hazet socket the rental program would be the way to go. However, the torque on the delivery valve holders is low so there is no need for high strength.
