I agree with Murrell. While I don't frequent Harbor Freight on a regular basis I do shop there now and again.

Their quality has come up over the last twenty years, and some of their tools are close to top quality.

But perhaps you could shop Ebay for such a tool, use it, and then sell it again. I know a Video Producer who uses this method to secure equipment, and he tells me it is not only cheaper than renting but he sometimes turns a small profit during the resell.
