Wasted $450 on a hydraulic cutter I barely use

Picked up a hydraulic cable cutter for a job over in Port Arthur last spring. Figured it would pay for itself. Used it twice, now it sits in the truck box collecting rust. The rental place down the road charges $60 a day. Should have just rented. Anyone else got expensive tools they regret grabbing?

wait, you said the rental place charges $60 a day, but you dropped $450 on a tool you used twice. that's not even the math that breaks my brain. you used it for what, two days total? that's $120 in rentals, so you overpaid by $330, but here's the thing, you're also counting the rust and the space it takes up in your truck. that box space could be holding something you actually need, like a spare hose or your lunch.
