Online Specialty tool Rental
IE:
Pilot Bearing puller
Flywheel locks
Engine Bearing Press Tools
etc
The way it would work:
You Pay rental fee, postage and a deposit
Tool is shipped to you, with a pre-paid return address label
You use tool then return it
When tool is received back, your deposit is returned
Any SERIOUS interest?

FYI you won't find out about any serious interest, anyone who posts regularly enough to say, yes, I could use that, would probably buy the tool rather than rent it
it's the one-time users that pass through here with 10 posts that would likely jump on the chance to rent that stuff..
Just IMO
Id rather buy that stuff since I would use it more than once
Well depending on price anyways....
What kind of prices?

I'll tell you what, whenever I rebuild an engine, I planned on asking here to see if anyone would loan/rent out the "special" tools, just for the one-time use. But of course I don't need any of that at the moment.
Good idea? yes!

It's a great idea, but to really make money at it you would need to appeal to a larger audience then just the rotary crowd. If you banked specialty tools for a wide variety of cars then you could make some cash.
The only downside I see is that most people don't plan far enough ahead to account for shipping, they pull the car apart on saturday and want it on the road sunday and the figure out they need a special tool to get the pilot bearing, etc... out
