Safe Way Rental Equipment

I needed an edger for some lawn maintenance. You use edgers to trim around the outside of your lawn. You only need to use one once or twice a year, so I don’t want to buy one and have it clutter my garage. Usually an edger/​trimmer combo works just fine, but every once and awhile I like to use a dedicated edger. Home Depot rents edgers, but didn’t have one available, so it’s not an unusual request.
That’s the backstory. I called this place to see if they rented edgers. The guy who answered laughed at the thought of renting an edger (after I explained to him what one was). After he laughed at me he said «no man, we don’t rent no edgers.»
I get that a lot of equipment rental places focus on heavy-​duty stuff and don’t have smaller tools (like edgers) but you don’t have to be a dick about it. I had no way of knowing what this place specializes in because it does not have a web presence and it’s customer service is garbage (see prior paragraph).
Anyway, I don’t recommend that you pester this place with your inferior tool needs. I’ll be sure to never do so again again.
