 For tools you may not need again, rent expensive tools.
Or buy good brands second hand.

 I’m not a huge fan of renting tools. 
And living in the country means a trip to the city for 2nd hand tools. I don’t want to waste a day fucking about driving all over the city.
I’m in a pickle.

 Sounds like you're doing things in the wrong order.

Step 1. Accumulate tools
Step 2. Reno house 

Use this for future reference.

 You are very correct.
I hadn’t planned on it until moved into house and realised master bedroom was too small so need to rip out walls and build new ones, carpets are all fucked so ripping them out and putting floating floors down. That’s just the start.
