The Qep looks, from the pic, to be a nice saw and at that price you could simply pass it on to Habitat after you are done and not worry about keeping it forever.
I have rented tools before and been very disappointed at the condition. One example: Last year I rented a magnetic drill from the tool rental at Lowe’s. A good used one can be hundreds of $’s and I only needed it for one hole. I ended up rebuilding it to get the slop our of the gibbs in order to drill and ream the quality hole I needed for a dowel pin. A 45 min. job ended up being all day counting time to pick up and return the drill. I returned the drill in far better condition than I rented it in. When I told the rental counter guy about my experience and of rebuilding the tool he treated me like I had potentially ruined his tool. Go figure. I told him he should actually give my money back plus some.
I was hoping to get substantially more for mine. If you are a tool geek and plan to do more brick paver / tile work then my saw would be more of what someone would want. If not then the Qep looks like the ticket for one job.
