Yes, it would be a pain and end up costing a renter $20 - $30 for a single use. In that respect, anyone looking to maintain a car for, oh, let's say 100,000 miles, would find that buying a tool would pay off. Especially if they have the cash to put down on a rental tool in the first place.

I hate to say it, but for much the same reason that you don't make and sell them, I'm thinking it's pointless to rent one. Not enough interest. I know the older cars are out there, but I guess the interest in properly maintaining them is less.

To heck with it. If valve seals cure my excessive oil loss, I'll just buy a reamer for my personal use. Otherwise, I'm just going to upgrade to a turbo motor, and avoid the larger, rarer, more expensive reamer completely.
