Buying the Water Jetter the Rental Counter Rents: General's JM-1450

El Paso Tool Rental charges $115.00 a day for a drain jetter and prints the model number on the card: General Pipe's JM-1450. TEquipment sells that exact set, in stock, for $3,478.20.

Not a machine of the same class. The same machine, off two published pages.

Break-even is the 31st rental day — 34 once you replace the $371.20 hose the warranty treats as wear.
