Picking the Brains of the collective, engine tool rental program

Just thinking out loud, what do you think the feasibility would be for a canadian (Ontario) /6 tool rental program?

I have pretty well most of the tools to do all 911 2.0-3.6 engines.
Most I bought, some have been given to me and some I've made.
These tools are a huge investment and I only use them once and a while.

How much for rental?
How long of a rental period? (thinking one month)
Rent as a kit or individual tools?
How would you do the damage or loss deposit?
Shipping? (I can do PU my place or Oshawa)

Is it even worthwhile? Or too much hassle?

Not expecting to make big bucks, I expect the tools would only be out once or twice a year at most, but if it did little things like put a rennshifter, etc. in my car I'd be a happy camper.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
