IN "Compression is the root of all evil"



If anyone has any ?'s about compression testing your rotary engine or needs help I would be happy to help answer what I can.

I know everyone doesn't have $300 to purchase a tester so I have a couple RCTV5.2 rentals available if you live in the US and have Paypal.

$30 you pay shipping both ways

Brap safe!

This is awesome!

Questions
1. How long is the rental period?
2. Where are you shipping from?
3. If I want to buy it can the $30 come off the price!

Thank you for this offer!

Rentals are US and Paypal only.
The one international rental I tried never came back so that ended that.
Most people have them back in a week or so.

I know not all owners have the coin to buy a tester hell we drive rotary's.

Happy to help as long as people continue to return them

Would it help to do a deposit system? Charge them $300 and then refund $270 of it when you get the tool back in good condition.

For international rentals only.
I think part of the appeal of the rental is for those who may not have $300 to spare.
It happens.

How does being domestic make someone less likely to forget or flat out nick the tester?
Take a deposit, you'll get your units back quicker and be able to rent out more frequently.

If someone doesn't have $300 to deposit, knowing the engine's compression is probably not going to make a difference in decisions they're about to make.

If someone is depending on their 8 as their DD, and it quits running right,, that $300 may go to a rental car until they can use the tester to find out if they lost compression.

I like that RTC is offering this at such a reasonable rate, because even though many of us make a decent living, unexpected expenses can make it hard to come up with $300 in a hurry.

I don't want to charge people a deposit most are stressed out already.
No more International rentals its a pain with customs and shipping cost both ways anyways.

This is nothing against anyone 60% of my sales leave the US.

I have rental back here if needed HMU

Steve, I think its a great offer on your part to offer the units for rent. Personally, I don't know how I lived without one of these for so long. Its probably my favorite specialty tool in my box.
